Founder's Story

I'm Sanjay Chauhan, the founder of MuddleArt, a B2B textile waste solutions startup driven by a deep regard for social impact. I’m a firm believer in the power of sustainability to transform the fashion industry's waste problem into an opportunity for positive change.

MuddleArt was born out of a personal journey and a vision to tackle the mismanagement of textile waste. My experience drove me to find a solution + build a circular economy that could benefit communities of textile waste workers and all stakeholders involved.

In 2019, I co-founded MuddleArt with Ruby Khan. What started as a passion project gradually transformed into a business opportunity, allowing me to drive meaningful change. Through intensive on-ground research and engagement with the textile waste sector, we gained invaluable insights into the pressing challenges and untapped potential.

At MuddleArt, we offer customized textile waste management solutions with a focus on fostering circularity in the ecosystem. By addressing brands & manufacturers' sustainable waste management needs, we create employment opportunities for marginalized communities and safeguard the environment.


Our approach goes beyond profit and aims to bring transparency, accountability, and traceability to an industry that desperately needs it. By integrating informal waste workers into our workforce, we create a supportive and healthy environment that improves their livelihoods. We aim to establish a sustainable supply chain that minimizes waste, maximizes resources, and benefits everyone involved (and beyond!).


MuddleArt is a journey of purpose and possibility. Together with our dedicated small team and advisors we are committed to building a sustainable future. 


Let's connect and explore how MuddleArt can collaborate with you to create a positive impact that goes beyond profit.
