The Opportunity

National parks and forest conservation agencies spend heavily on manual reforestation and habitat restoration, unaware that elephant dung is a natural, pre-packaged seed dispersal tool worth ₹10s of lakhs annually. Forest departments in elephant corridors (Periyar, northeast India) need systematic dung collection from elephant herds to restore fragmented ecosystems—a labour-intensive task nobody has operationalized as a paid service.

Market Size₹8–12 Cr addressable market — 50+ national parks and wildlife sanctuaries in India × ₹15–25 lakh annual reforestation budgets, plus forest department ecosystem restoration contracts.
Why NowNo special license required for dung collection/sale in India.
