Can This Chennai Startup Finally End Manual Scavenging In India?

SUMMARY

Founded by Moinak Banerjee, Divanshu Kumar, and Bhavesh Narayani, the startup began its journey with a pipeline inspection crawler and claims to have developed India’s 1st robot for septic tank and manhole cleaning

The startup has three patented technologies — Endobot for sewer and water management; HomoSEP for septic tanks and manholes, and Swasth AI

Solinas works in tandem with multiple government departments, including municipal corporations. It also serves private sector giants like Suez, Veolia, Volvo, Hyundai, and Mahindra

In the startup world, an entrepreneur’s primary objective is to either identify white space for disruption or solve a real-world problem. However, not everyone is bestowed with the vision to identify disruption opportunities and provide a solution thereof.“We leverage AI to identify when the pipelines will fail and figure out the remaining life of the pipelines. This predictive approach enables proactive maintenance, potentially saving municipalities significant resources in the long run,” the cofounders said.

While that could be true for a majority of startup founders and the ones to be, Solinas Integrity, a deeptech startup born out of IIT Madras, has been laser-focussed on solving multiple problems related to water and wastewater management since 2018.
