Building @saafwater - World’s first field-deployable water testing lab on a chip
Goa
Joined October 2018
Your water purifier isn’t telling you the truth. I learned that the hard way, when my mom got sick from “clean” water. So we built something that can actually see what’s inside your water 👇

6 paid pilots. 2 went live already. We can now orchestrate actions across water networks once decisions are approved, being installed via a state utility’s instrumentation partner. Step by step, building the intelligence, automation and decision making layer for water networks.

Couldn’t agree more. We moved slow early on, spent over a year just talking to the right people, figuring out why water systems fail and why most devices in our market aren’t reliable. Got deep into the details, iterated quickly, and within a year of launch now we help monitor
We've successfully backed multiple non-pedigree founders. A new team that I worked with for a while now might beat them all it feels like if I look at the sheer pace of calm learning loops they have. Nothing...literally nothing can replace slow and thoughtful building in the

A founder friend just told me “Jobs would be happy looking at your product.” I don’t know about that, but we’re trying to build with that level of precision, engineering and care. Want to see? Watch the video!
Water is the most important system humanity runs on. We’re finally giving it continuous visibility into quality and safety, reliably at scale Be the first to see our next-gen devices - DM us on X. #Saafwater_X_Delta

We just got an inbound from an investor, from one of the least expected places - Instagram. He messaged over the weekend, we spoke today, and damn, he got @saafwater. We had a great conversation.. Be consistent, put your work across all forms, all platforms, tailored to each of

We don’t think much about the water we drink… until it affects someone we love. 💧 This one hits hard! #WaterMatters #Health #ProjectMiramar #water

Soo a drop in Dissolved oxygen kills all the shrimp in the pond… Learnt in school that as temperature increases, water’s ability to dissolve gases decreases. Wonder how climate change would disrupt aquaculture, water monitoring is wayy important to them now.. Btw went here

Got another VC second call lined up for mid-Nov!! Let’s see how it goes.. #Saafwater_X_Delta

Momentum continues to build. We're already looking to deploy our current model for sewage treatment plants with the same company. Another major water treatment company with a market cap of over $100M is also looking to partner with Saafwater on #ProjectMiramar and our solutions
A big win for @saafwater 🚀 We’ve received an LoI for #ProjectMiramar from a multinational engineering conglomerate with a market cap of over $4 billion. They intend to use them in their products like water & wastewater treatment plants, cooling towers, HVACs and more + They

Those who say they invest Pre-seed are rarely up for pre-seed. Those who say they invest Deeptech are rarely up for deeptech. Still, among all that noise, we made it to our first VC technical call this week. Building hardware that works in the real world is hard. But ig it’s

We just got an LoI for #ProjectMiramar 🚀 From a company deploying automation & instrumentation across India’s large-scale water networks! #Saafwater_X_Delta @enter_delta
It was Diwali week, and most businesses were shut. Perfect time for us to lock in. What should’ve taken 3 months, we built in just 7 days. All we had: a 3D printer, a few tools, and determination. We’ve developed an in-house microfluidic automatic chemistry cell and turbidity

We just built a turbidity sensor from scratch, turning a bulky, multi-component setup into a single inline sensor!!!! Just for context: this is how @saafwater’s new turbidity sensor looks like in comparison to other turbidity sensors in the market. @enter_delta
