- ByStartup Story Team | September 6, 2023
Boon, the global IoT-enabled water-tech startup, has entered into a strategic partnership with India’s esteemed policy think-tank, ‘Niti Aayog,’ as part of the Aatmanirbhar Bharat ARISE-ANIC program.
This collaboration aims to harness impactful research and innovation within the water sector to pioneer cutting-edge solutions for efficient water resource management, waste reduction, and the mitigation of leakage and theft issues.
The primary objective is to revolutionize India’s water management landscape by leveraging advanced technologies to address critical challenges such as water leakage and unauthorized usage. A study by ASSOCHAM highlights that a significant 40 percent of water supply is lost due to leakage and theft, emphasizing the urgent need for innovative interventions.
In pursuit of this goal, Boon has been collaborating with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs to develop real-time water pressure sensing systems for monitoring water supply lines. These advanced systems will play a crucial role in identifying leaks, detecting unauthorized activities, and optimizing planned pressure in water distribution networks. Boon’s dedication and expertise have earned it the privilege of leading efforts to provide innovative solutions to combat the pressing water crisis.
Dr. Vibha Tripathi, Managing Director of Boon, emphasized the potential of partnerships to drive positive change in water management and underscored the alignment of their expertise with Niti Aayog’s innovative approach to sustainable drinking water solutions.
Niti Aayog, as India’s premier think-tank, has been instrumental in advocating sustainability and effective water management while spearheading water conservation initiatives. The organization actively promotes the adoption of pioneering water-saving technologies, contributing to a water-secure and environmentally friendly future.
Through this partnership, Boon aims to empower municipal authorities, water supply agencies, and communities to make informed decisions regarding water distribution and usage, significantly contributing to the conservation of this invaluable resource. It marks a significant milestone in Boon’s journey to #BetteryourWater, continuing to drive innovation, foster sustainability, and shape a future where water is managed wisely and responsibly.
Boon is a pioneering water tech startup dedicated to disrupting the drinking water space through technology and innovation. Their WaterATM™, launched in 2014, and the world’s first dedicated IoT platform called Clairvoyant™ have revolutionized drinking water purification monitoring on a global scale. Clairvoyant has expanded its focus to include not only social impact but also environmental impact, providing sustainable hydration solutions for hotels, restaurants, and offices, thereby reducing plastic waste.
