As Bengaluru continues to grapple with uneven water availability and rising dependence on private supply, the Bengaluru-based start-up, FluxGen, has developed a system that promises industries real-time visibility into how water moves through their plants from extraction to discharge.
FluxGen, which was incubated at the NSRCEL, the start-up incubation centre at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), built the platform, AquaGen, which stitches together measurements from meters, Supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) screens, lab reports and manual logs and feeds them into an analytics engine.
The company said, “The aim is to turn fragmented, disconnected data into a single, actionable picture so plant managers can spot leaks, avoid wastage and meet regulatory reporting requirements.
Bhargavpratim Roy, Growth Manager (Product and Growth), AquaGen, traces the idea to his own experience of living in Bengaluru. His childhood home had a well, when it ran dry, the family shifted to municipal supply, and when that too became unreliable, tankers filled the gap. “I started thinking about my son’s future. What will water access look like for his generation?” he said.
How it works
