How Robots Are Fixing India’s Broken Water & Sanitation System | Solinas Integrity

India’s urban water and sanitation systems are under immense strain. With over 50% of treated freshwater lost before reaching consumers and manual scavenging still a common practice, the consequences are visible in daily life: water shortages, contamination, and overflowing drains. In this episode of The Climate Conversations, we explore how Solinas Integrity, a deep-tech startup incubated at IIT Madras, is tackling these long-standing issues through robotics and data intelligence. The conversation begins with the staggering scale of Non-Revenue Water (NRW) and the systemic causes behind it, ranging from infrastructure gaps to poor coordination among civic bodies. Founder Divanshu Kumar shares how a plea from manual scavengers led him and his team to design their first solution: a robotic device that could safely clean manholes and septic tanks. And how there on, the journey expanded, adding inspection robots that glide through underground pipelines and an AI-powered dashboard that helps municipalities detect and prevent failures before they occur.
