Microsoft-backed startup FluxGen Sustainable Technologies is leveraging its deep knowledge of water to help businesses in India, one of the country's largest water guzzlers, build a sustainable water use ecosystem at their locations.
The software-as-a-service provider startup is using deep tech to leverage digitized data related to rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment, water from tankers stored at different locations, and water consumed at different locations within a facility to ensure optimal use of the resource. In the process, it is also helping Microsoft meet its water-neutral commitments.
“So we are essentially a Water SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) platform that uses backend hardware, software and sensor fusion to ensure that water data is accurately placed on a sensor ecosystem so that our customers can take the most appropriate action,” Ganesh Shankar, Co-Founder, FluxGen Sustainable Technologies, told ET Infra.
The Bengaluru-based startup, in partnership with Microsoft, is leveraging artificial intelligence and IoT to implement smart water management solutions across facilities of conglomerates including Microsoft, TATA Steel, Aditya Birla Group, Ashok Leyland and Adani Group, helping these companies meet their sustainability commitments.
