About Us
Our Story
It all began when urban infrastructure was developing steadily, and long unprioritized environmental issues such as solid and liquid wastes were mere obligatory concerns. There were no preventive strategies or set transformation processes. We set up ICUC with the belief that we could translate ideas into tangible outcomes as we understand the dynamics of urban sustainable development and bring value to the clients using our technical skills and rich and varied experience/qualifications. We have a dynamic portfolio with our core strength in waste management consulting. Our continuous efforts are focused on scaling up and updating our portfolio, imbibing and working with the concepts such as the circular economy and climate resilience.
After almost a decade of successful and impactful operations, we are proud to have a stellar team working across the nation and beyond. We have collaborated and delivered impactful projects in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Andhra Pradesh, besides having our footprints in Bhutan, Nepal, and Pakistan.
