Analysis: India Is Drowning in Its Own Wastewater. These Two Engineers Decided to Turn It Back Into a Resource.
By Punita Maheshwari
At one of Mumbai’s most iconic landmarks, standing since 1903, almost no water goes to waste. At the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, systems recovering close to 99 percent of wastewater — and returning more than 90 percent of it back into daily operations — were built by Indra Water, a startup co-founded by Amrit Nayak and Krunal Patel. The two describe their approach as the “Henry Ford moment” of water treatment: the belief that a sector long defined by one-off, heavily customised projects can be reimagined as a standardised, scalable industry.
