Cyond is bringing engineering-led diagnostics, AI-assisted data and standardised repair systems to building preservation, after screening nearly 1.5 lakh buildings and finding water-related deterioration in 67 per cent. In this interaction with Construction World, Sunil Gorle, Founder, Cyond, discusses how building health insights can make maintenance more predictive.

India has invested trillions of rupees in creating its built environment. Yet, many assets expected to last 70-100 years begin showing deterioration within 10-20 years. We identified a major gap in building preservation and maintenance. Through screening nearly 1.5 lakh buildings, we found that about 67 per cent showed signs of water seepage, dampness, leakage or related deterioration. Cyond was founded to bring engineering, technology, standardisation and trust to this space.
