In 2017, Aayushi KC had just got married when she told her family and friends about her plan to start a recycling business in Kathmandu. She was told to start a family instead of getting involved in 'picking up dirty items'. A year later, the 27-year-old has become a renowned entrepreneur through her company Khaalisisi. Aayushi KC spoke to SBS Nepali about her vision to turn Nepal into one of the leading recycling nations in the world.
