THE PROSPECT

Recykal is building the government-relations function across its circular economy portfolio — Deposit Refund System (DRS) and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) — securing notifications, approvals, and funding across States. DRS is live in Goa, in pilot in Tamil Nadu, in discussions in Himachal Pradesh, and being watched by Delhi; EPR engagements run in parallel across multiple States and with the centre. This has been founder-led so far. We're now looking for a senior leader to institutionalise it and build Recykal's standing with the PMO and MoEFCC as India's authority on circular-economy policy — DRS and EPR alike.

WHY THIS ROLE, WHY NOW
A national mandate spanning multiple States and the centre, across DRS and EPR — build a function that has so far lived with the founders.
Direct, senior access to the PMO and MoEFCC on circular-economy policy, not a single scheme.
Ownership of government-relations strategy, not a "liaison" title.
A trust-building role, not a sales role — discretion and political non-alignment are core.

THE MANDATE




Own Recykal's government-relations strategy end-to-end across every target State and every circular-economy mandate — DRS and EPR — and build Recykal's national standing as India's authority on the subject. Move files, not just relationships.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Strategy & sequencing — own State-prioritisation nationally across DRS and EPR tracks, based on political calendars and regulatory risk.
Approvals — drive notifications, launch timelines, and funding approvals to closure across schemes; coordinate across Excise, Environment, Finance, and CM offices.
Function build — build a lean State-liaison team and put institutional record-keeping in place, across all circular-economy mandates.
National standing — build Recykal's brand with the PMO and MoEFCC; carry thought leadership into DRS and EPR policy conversations.
Representation — represent Recykal with senior officials and industry bodies, with impeccable d
