Microsoft-supported startup FluxGen Sustainable Technologies is leveraging its deep knowledge of water to help corporate India, one of the major guzzlers of water in the country, build a sustainable water usage ecosystem in their premises.

The software-as-a-service provider startup is using deep tech wherein digitised data related to rainwater harvesting, wastewater treatment, water coming from tankers, stored in various places as well as water being consumed at various locations within a facility, is being utilised to ensure optimal use of the resource. In the process it is also helping Microsoft meet its water neutral commitments.

The Bengaluru-based startup in collaboration with Microsoft is using Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things for undertaking smart water management solutions in facilities of conglomerates such as Microsoft, TATA Steel, Aditya Birla Group, Ashok Leyland, Adani Group, among others and helping such companies meet their sustainability obligations.
