DigitalPaani Bags ₹22 Cr To Expand Water Management Platform

Funding firm Navam Capital spearheaded a ₹22 Cr ($2.3 Mn) funding round that enabled Delhi NCR-based tech startup DigitalPaani to scale its AI and IoT-powered water management platform. Other investors included Enzia Ventures, Chakra Growth Capital, 3one4 Capital, Momentum Capital, Achieving Women Entrepreneurs Early Growth Fund, and Echo River Capital.

The startup did not disclose details about the funding round's stage or its valuation. DigitalPaani intends to utilize the additional capital to extend its reach into industrial and municipal sectors, bolster its operations to cater to more institutional clients, and venture into international markets. Part of the funds will also be earmarked for strengthening its core functionalities.

Founded in 2020 by Mansi Jain and Rajesh Jain, DigitalPaani's platform harnesses the power of AI and IoT to enable businesses, utilities, and municipalities to efficiently manage their water and wastewater infrastructure. By gathering real-time data from water assets and comparing their performance against their designed operating parameters, the platform identifies operational inefficiencies, automates processes, and coordinates service teams.

DigitalPaani's technology is deployed at sewage treatment plants and other water facilities to enhance wastewater recycling, slash operational losses, and avert unexpected breakdowns. Its platform provides real-time water tracking, predictive maintenance, and workflow management. Research suggests that 75% of critical water assets in India, particularly sewage treatment plants, operate at significantly reduced capacity due to operational issues rather than equipment failures.

Currently, DigitalPaani serves over 95 facilities in India, collectively treating more than 150 million liters of water per day. Its clientele comprises prominent entities such as Britannia, Leela Hotels, Tata Group, and Delhi Jal Board. The startup claims that its deployments have enabled non-compliant plants to achieve full operational status while cutting costs by 25%.

DigitalPaani's revenue has reportedly grown nearly sixfold over the past two years, though the startup refrained from disclosing exact figures. The company was recently acknowledged by UpLink, the World Economic Forum’s innovation platform, for its water management technology. The funding round arrives as water scarcity, stricter environmental regulations, and a heightened focus on water reuse are driving demand for wastewater treatment and recycling infrastructure in Indian cities and industries.

As per IMARC Group, India's wastewater treatment market was valued at $10.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow to $19.4 billion by 2034, with a compound annual growth rate of 7% between 2026 and 2034.
