About Novasensa
India disposes of over 3 million tonnes of electronic waste every year. The critical minerals inside those batteries and circuit boards — lithium, cobalt, nickel, copper, rare earth minerals — are largely lost. Novasensa is building the industrial infrastructure to change that.
We are a deep-technology company developing commercially scalable, low-discharge hydrometallurgical processes for recovering critical and strategic metals from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries, printed circuit boards, and complex electronic waste streams. Our work directly contributes to India's critical mineral security and the circular economy.

The company is founded by alumni of Duke University and Harvard University.



One of the founders is an award-winning American entrepreneur with experience building and scaling technology-driven ventures internationally.

Novasensa operates with a small, high-caliber team and is scaling fast. Team members work closely with the founders and senior engineers, with real responsibility from early stages. Decisions are made quickly, learning cycles are short, and individual contributions have visible impact.

Commercialisation and Scale-Up Phase
Novasensa is currently transitioning our core technologies from advanced research and development into commercial deployment. As part of this phase, we are setting up Rajasthan's first hydrometallurgical plant focused on the extraction of critical minerals from electronic waste and end-of-life batteries.

Joining at this stage offers rare exposure to the complete journey from laboratory development to plant commissioning — process definition, material handling logic, operational constraints, and early commercial
