The Opportunity

Indian cities like Thiruvananthapuram have polluted canals (like Amayizhanjan) that face repeated failed cleanup operations costing crores, with no working solution model yet proven at scale. Engineering students have spent 2 years researching a cleanup method, but lack the business structure and capital to commercialise and replicate it across other cities and municipalities.

Market Size₹8,500 Cr addressable market annually — India has 1,200+ polluted waterways; each city spends ₹5-15 crore per failed cleanup attempt; 100+ tier-1/2 cities need solutions.
Why NowGST registration (18% on service fees), environmental clearance from State Pollution Control Board (SPCB), municipal tender licenses, worker safety certification, drainage/sewage handling approvals under local municipal bylaws.
