Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India

Agendra Kumar, Managing Director, Esri India, said, “As the impacts of climate change intensify and the population continues to grow, it becomes increasingly urgent for us to come together to conserve our invaluable water resources. Collaboration on water management creates a ripple effect of positive outcomes, promoting harmony, fostering prosperity, and enhancing resilience. The Indian government is actively taking initiatives such as the Jal Jeevan Mission, Jal Shakti Abhiyan: Catch the Rain Campaign, etc. to preserve the country’s water resources and address the mounting water challenges. GIS technology is at the heart of such government initiatives, playing a vital role in their success. We are closely working with State Water Resource Departments and leading water resource management agencies across the country such as NWIC, NMCG, Thrissur Municipality, Orange City Water (Nagpur), etc., to gain a better understanding of the multidimensional complexities of water ecology, socio-economic challenges of our communities, water quality and other important parameters, and define a long-term view for a sustainable water future.”

“Water conservation is the need of the hour, and the warehousing industry holds immense potential in reducing water consumption through various innovative measures. Implementing water-efficient technologies such as rainwater harvesting, sewage treatment plants and recycled water usage in warehousing facilities can significantly cut down on water usage. Optimizing logistics and supply chain management can also lead to reduced water wastage during transportation and storage of goods. Additionally, promoting employee awareness and training on water conservation practices within warehouses can further contribute to sustainable water management. By integrating these strategies, the warehousing and logistics industry can play a crucial role in conserving water resources and building an environmentally responsible future.”- Abhijit Verma, Founder & MD, Avinya Industrial and Logistic Parks

“The World Water Day and the situation in Bengaluru serve as a sobering reminder of how important, yet undervalued, a resource water is. We all knew the impact of climate change would be felt through water crises; however, now more than ever, we are living that reality. I recall the well in my childhood home – how valued an asset it was in our household. As I grew up, the well dried up, and makeshift tanks provided temporary relief. Today, though, the sight of tanker trucks delivering water is as common as seeing food delivery boys around the city. As a perpetual optimist, I dream of a future where water is a treasured asset, and the term “shortage” becomes completely unassociated with water. At FluxGen, we feel privileged to work on making this a possibility. We have begun this mission by working with industries and smart cities to help them optimize their water consumption. However, we see the sky as the limit. We want to do all it takes to build a water-positive future.” – Ganesh Shankar, Founder & CEO, Fluxgen Sustainable Technologies
