"Indian industries are huge consumers of water—and are facing increasingly stringent regulations to reduce water consumption, and even production downtime due to water scarcity. Large buildings and campuses in various parts of India increasingly have to buy tanker water which is expensive and often, low quality water. Water stress will only increase in coming years, not because we have a water shortage, but because we use water irresponsibly and manage it poorly. Water distribution pipelines in cities, for example, have leakages equal to 25-40%. Not only does this waste water, but also the energy that is needed to lift and transport water long distances. The True Cost of water is, indeed, very high. FluxGen's Water Intelligence SaaS Platform AquaGen leverages IoT, AI and Distributed Ledger to tracking, measure and analysing water consumption data, and uses to identify ways to reduce usage and wastage. Thus, we reduce the cost of water for our clients and help industries become more responsible and sustainable, and well as de-risking from water crisis. The system is operating at 60+ industrial site—our clients include food processing plants, metals and mining sites, pharmaceutical factories and commercial buildings. Installing AquaGen takes only a few days and clients get detailed data and recommendations which can be used to meet statutory reporting requirements as well. We have helped clients save up to 30% of their water consumption, and we have a vision that companies will become water positive in the future. Our near-term goal is to help save 1 Billion litres of Water per day! "
