The Spruce Up Way

The Story of Spruce Up

Why we started and what drives us today.

India's urban cleaning challenge is immense — millions of kilometres of roads, thousands of municipalities, and a workforce of sanitation workers who deserve better tools. We saw this gap and built a company to close it.

From a small workshop in Pune, we developed the JATAYU HD — India's first high-suction vacuum litter picker. Cities noticed. Orders followed. By 2021, our 100th machine had been dispatched. By 2022, we had gone international.

We are not just a machinery company. We are a mission-driven organisation that believes smarter machines create cleaner cities, and cleaner cities create better lives. Every machine we build is a statement of that belief.
