In a significant development for the water management sector, DigitalPaani, a pioneering startup founded by the father-daughter duo Mansi Jain and Rajesh Jain, has successfully raised $1.2 million in its recent seed funding round. The funding was led by Enzia Ventures, with participation from Climate Angles Fund, Peer Cheque, SAE, DevC, Bharat Founders Fund, and a host of notable angel investors.
Among the prominent angel investors who joined the funding round are Ashish Goel (Urban Ladder), Alok Mittal (Indifi), Mohit Sadani (Moms Co), and Mohit Tandon (Delhivery). Their participation not only underscores the potential of DigitalPaani but also signifies the growing recognition of the startup’s innovative solutions in the water management domain.
DigitalPaani aims to utilize the newly acquired funds to enhance its technological infrastructure, facilitating expanding its services to more wastewater treatment plants across India. Additionally, the startup plans to explore new markets as part of its strategic growth initiatives, according to a press release issued by DigitalPaani.
The heart of DigitalPaani’s operations lies in its Internet of Things (IoT) enabled platform, designed to optimise wastewater treatment plants’ efficiency. The platform, often likened to a medical doctor for water systems, monitors infrastructure performance, identifies issues, and offers remedial guidance to enhance overall operational efficiency.
Remarkably, DigitalPaani’s platform has demonstrated impressive results, boasting up to a 30% increase in treatment capacity and a substantial 66% reduction in costs at its commercial sites. This innovative approach positions DigitalPaani as a game-changer in water management, addressing critical challenges and offering sustainable solutions.
DigitalPaani’s impressive client portfolio includes industry giants such as Tata Power, Delhi Jal Board, Britannia, and Leela Hotels. The startup’s success in securing partnerships with these key players underscores industry leaders’ trust and confidence in DigitalPaani’s technology.
Over the next twelve months, DigitalPaani plans to accelerate its growth in key urban centres, including the National Capital Region of Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, and Hyderabad. This strategic expansion aligns with the startup’s commitment to making a tangible impact on water management practices in densely populated and rapidly growing urban areas.
As DigitalPaani continues to make waves in the water management sector, the recent seed funding round led by Enzia Ventures signals a new chapter in the startup’s journey. With a visionary approach, innovative technology, and a commitment to sustainable water management, DigitalPaani is poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the industry’s future.
