Watered down: Evaluating Bengaluru’s future as India’s IT capital
In April, Nithin Kamath of Zerodha posted a series of tweets drawing attention to Bengaluru’s escalating water crisis. He mentioned a possible solution: Turning wastewater into drinkable water, which the city-based Boson White Water (BWW) is already doing.
The next day, phones at BWW erupted with calls. Apartment complexes, standalone homes, industries — everyone wanted to know more. Though BWW puts partially treated water through an 11-stage system until it comes out highly safe, founder Vikas Brahamavar understands there are miles to go before anyone is willing to drink what was once sewage.
