Satish Kumar Mohapatra and R Nikhil Kumar faced challenges in gaining access to quality drinking water when they migrated to other cities for work.
Staying away from family, the college friends, like any other migrating youth, usually relied on vendors to deliver water for drinking purposes. But, sometimes the vendors did not deliver water on time.
While researching the gaps in the water supply chain, the duo realized the drinking water industry was highly unregulated and lacked tech platforms that could help track the segment.
In a bid to ensure users connect with proper water vendors and to provide a transparent tech platform to track orders, the duo launched The Water App in January 2020.
The Hyderabad-based startup’s SaaS platform monitors supply chain management, including doorstep delivery to end-users, inventory management, business intelligence reports, and live tracking of delivery among others.
