The thought of creating Planet Tota came in 2018. One prospect led to another, and what started as an IP-focused venture with movies, evolved into a full-scale alternate universe with a wide array of entertainment products like games, movies, merch and metaverse around it. Covid played a role in fast-tracking the evolution, and Gen Z and Gen Alpha got us deeply hooked onto the prospects Web3. Planet Tota is a creator-led brand. Our IP focus, coupled with our creative, game development and storytelling abilities allow us to create quality engagement avenues with quality products. It’s not an oversight, quality was repeated twice for good reasons. Planet Tota is a user-centered brand. And it’s so by design. We didn’t think of the product before the user, users got us creating Planet Tota. The evolving consumer mindsets of Gen Z, Gen Alpha, and the premise of Web3 demanded a user-inclusive/user-centered approach. Our decades of marketing expertise, invariably and involuntarily, puts consumer at the center and, naturally and effortlessly, drives our user-first thinking. Planet Tota was envisioned as a playground of collaborations. Our moments of marveling in our own creation often started with ‘imagine what’, and often ended with ‘we can do with the brands and other creators’. In the context of Web3, collaboration takes a new meaning, and needed more to stay true, so, more is what we did. Explore. Discover ways to become one with the planet.

Our mission is to accelerate the transition to a circular economy. Consumers and retailers will only make that transition if it is cost effective and simple. Thats where we come in. Our technology platform enables lease-and-reuse of consumer goods, which makes them more sustainable, accessible and affordable.

Circular is a tech subscription service evolving the way we consume technology. By subscribing, our customers access the latest tech from the best brands for budget-friendly monthly payments. Circulars mission is to help the world embrace the circular economy by saying goodbye to owning expensive tech devices. It’s a learned behaviour that needs to be disrupted to usher in a new era where subscribing, rather than buying, is the norm. We’ve seen this trend with luxury handbags, clothes and cars. Theres no surprise that tech is the next big trend here. Our disruptive challenge may seem ambitious, but we look to how Netflix and Spotify transformed the way we consume movies and music. At Circular, being a great place to work is anything but an afterthought. We are serious about crafting a place where adults work and learn together and every day is filled with meaning, collaboration, joy, and (most of all) impact.
