Compared to conventional solutions, Indra's technology requires 25 percent less energy to operate, saves 40 percent operating cost, and requires 85 percent less manpower to recover 99 percent wastewater
Multiple startups are applying innovation to address various aspects of sustainability and pollution, and creating new-age products with multiple use cases. Read about some key companies here.
Globally, most wastewater goes untreated and less than 1 percent is reused. In India alone, there are zero-discharge regulations, and 74 percent of wastewater goes untreated; 600 million people face high to extreme water stress, and water demand is likely to double by 2030. Identifying these as problems that need addressing, Amrit Om Nayak and Krunal Patel launched Indra Water in 2018.
Compared to conventional solutions, Indra’s solution requires 25 percent less energy to operate, saves 40 percent operating cost, occupies 80 percent less space, generates 70 percent less sludge and requires 85 percent less manpower.
The company won the urban water challenge at World Water Week 2019 in Stockholm, from among 236 companies across 38 countries, and also won the Millenium Alliance award. Indra has signed an MoU with Aditya Birla Group to provide technology to solve wastewater challenges across all its verticals. Tata Steel, Orient Fashion, Gadre Marine Exports, Gelnova Laboratories, Delicia Foods (Monginis) and Godavari Biorefineries are some of its other clients.
Indra has about 6 million litres per day capacity engagements with major industries and corporates across India, and is backed by Imagine H2O (International Water Accelerator) for expanding to Southeast Asian markets.
