Hyderabad, India - The 4th edition of the Telangana State Industry Awards was held to recognize and reward exceptional achievements made by Telangana based businesses, covering both large & small organizations.

Maithri Aquatech was announced a winner of the Telangana State Industry Awards 2021 in the “Best Startup” category. The company had developed ‘MEGHDOOT’, an affordable and sustainable water solution as part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, with a vision to mitigate global water scarcity on a sustainable basis, while causing zero harm to the environment. Their MEGHDOOT solution is capable of generating potable water from air on a highly scalable basis even if the requirement is over millions of litres per day, without relying on any ground or surface water resources.

The modularity, affordability and small footprint of MEGHDOOT in relation to other alternative water technologies allow it to be present in various forms, from standalone personal solutions to community solutions, to large-scale water plants. MEGHDOOT can also generate various grades of water for agricultural, industrial, or medical applications. This makes MEGHDOOT a fundamental water solution akin to the fundamental need for water. MEGHDOOT would also aid in the reduction of plastic and carbon footprint by eliminating the need for ferrying water.

To date, the company has generated over 100 million litres of water from air, saving over 200 million litres of scarce groundwater and surface water resources. Maithri Aquatech has provided solutions across India, the Gulf, South-East Asia and Africa, and is helping communities, organisations and economies transform from being net consumers to being net producers of water. Maithri Aquatech’s solution is the only solution of its kind to be approved by India’s Ministry of Water, the Ministry of Jal Shakti, through the prestigious RA Mashelkar Committee.

“Winning a Telangana State Industry Award, and also the recognition by the State of Telangana is an important milestone in our journey, as it would give our company the exposure needed to further our mission of mitigating Indian and Global water scarcity. This award would give our clients and our partners, greater assurance of the values we stand for, enabling us to work on larger projects capable of much greater impact.”, said Ramkrishna Mukkavilli, Founder and Managing Director of Maithri Aquatech.
