What happened
DigitalPaani, founded in 2020 by Mansi Jain and Rajesh Jain, has raised ₹22 crore (approximately $2.3 million) in a funding round led by Navam Capital, with participation from Enzia Ventures, Chakra Growth Capital, and others. The startup has not disclosed the stage of this round or its valuation.
The funding will support expansion into industrial and municipal water markets, enhance adoption by institutional clients, and facilitate entry into international markets. Additionally, part of the proceeds will be used to strengthen the company’s core AI- and IoT-driven platform that manages water and wastewater infrastructure.
Why it matters
DigitalPaani’s platform addresses critical inefficiencies in water infrastructure, where 75% of key water assets in India operate below capacity mainly due to operational challenges. The company uses AI and IoT to provide real-time data analytics, equipment management, predictive maintenance, and workflow automation.
Water scarcity and regulatory tightening in India have increased demand for efficient wastewater treatment and recycling. The market for wastewater treatment in India was valued at $10.4 billion in 2025 and is expected to grow to $19.4 billion by 2034. DigitalPaani’s technology helps reduce costs and downtime, supporting sustainability goals of cities and industries.
What to watch next
Key developments to monitor include DigitalPaani’s progress in scaling operations across new industrial and municipal clients, as well as its expansion into international markets. Its ability to grow revenue and customer base beyond the current 95 facilities, which treat over 150 million liters of water daily, will be critical.
Attention should also be paid to how DigitalPaani leverages its recent recognition by the World Economic Forum’s UpLink platform to enhance technology adoption. Tracking the company’s role in helping non-compliant water facilities improve performance and comply with environmental standards will indicate its broader market impact.
