She had a successful dental career.
But one reality changed everything.
After witnessing the harsh lives of waste pickers, Dr. Shanthi Tummala saw what most of us ignore—the true cost of our trash.
That moment became her turning point.
Despite criticism and resistance, she stepped away from her practice and took on a much bigger challenge—changing how an entire city deals with waste.
Her mission?
Make every citizen accountable.
Through awareness and action, she helped over 1 lakh people adopt waste segregation habits—reshaping Bengaluru’s civic culture and earning recognition from leaders like Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw.
Her powerful belief:
“My waste, my responsibility.”
Because real change doesn’t start in policies—
It starts at home.
🌿 So tell us—do you segregate your waste daily?
