About us

We offer

Anvarta provides strategy and policy advisory, consulting and project management services to organisations. We specialize in helping organisations to transition to a circular economy and help transform business models, products, supply chains, markets in line with the principles of circular economy. 

One of the key areas we focus on is capacity building towards a circular and clean economy and in facilitating organisational transition. We drive innovation through research and development in this area, and have a portfolio or products and services that we have developed and in progress presently.
