About Klimatic

Rishi is the Founder and CEO of Klimatic, an organization committed to the safe and sustainable recycling of household electronics. The mission of Klimatic is to transform the world through climate action and recycling electronics right from our customer’s front doors.  By providing efficient pickup services, Klimatic ensures proper reuse, recycling, and donation of various electronics. Their aim is to reach everyone within the greater Seattle area and beyond, promoting an eco-friendly world.

How it Works

Klimatic offers convenient pickup services directly from people's houses, eliminating the need for individuals to leave their homes. Customers can leave their electronics at the front door, and Klimatic will handle the pickup. Depending on the subscription type, pickups occur in set periods, and customers receive live updates about their electronics. Klimatic provides recyclable bags for customers to gather their electronic devices, which are delivered free of cost prior to the pickup appointment. These bags are categorised according to the type of electronics, including light bulbs, laptops, chargers, batteries, and more.

Rishi's Love for Finance

Coming from a business-oriented household, investing and being an intelligent investor has always been extremely exciting to me. To do this, I read from some of my favorite investing books, listed above. I owe it to Charlie Munger, Warren Buffet, and Ben Graham for their innovative investing strategies.

Additionally, I am the Co-president of Stocks Club with 40+ members, where I help others learn about investing techniques and run investing seminars. In the Wharton Youth Investment Competition, our group peaked at 7/1,374 teams. Our club’s officers continue to help others in their investing endeavors, and we hope to learn something new from it ourselves!

"From 10-years-old to now, these 5 books have been the most integral part of my investing strategies. Go check them out!"

Sandro Botticelli
is the best painter
of the renaissance

Botticelli was endowed with the capacity for the subtlest poetic understanding of life. For the first time he was able to convey the subtle nuance of human experience. Joyful excitement alternates in his paintings melancholic reverie, calm contemplation unbridled passion.
