What does it do? Founded in 2020 by father-daughter duo Rajesh Jain and Mansi Jain, the Delhi NCR-based startup runs an AI- and IoT-powered platform that helps businesses, utilities, and municipalities manage water and wastewater infrastructure. It collects real-time data from water assets, flags the causes of operational inefficiencies, and automates tasks like maintenance and inventory tracking.
What's the endgame? DigitalPaani will use the capital to expand across industrial and municipal markets, scale operations to serve more institutional customers, and enter international markets. It will also strengthen its core operations.
The startup serves more than 95 facilities across India that collectively treat over 150 million litres of water daily. Its customers include BritanniaDealroom has a profile for this one.

By the numbers: DigitalPaani said its deployments have made non-compliant plants fully operational while cutting costs by 25%. It added that revenue has grown nearly sixfold over the past two years, without disclosing figures.
Why now? The round comes as water shortages, tighter environmental rules, and a push for reuse increase demand for wastewater treatment infrastructure. DigitalPaani claims 75% of India's critical water assets, including sewage treatment plants, run at severely reduced capacity because of operational challenges rather than equipment failures.
The signal: India's wastewater treatment market was valued at $10.4 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $19.4 billion by 2034, growing 7% annually, according to IMARC Group. With regulation and water stress rising in tandem, software that squeezes more from existing infrastructure sits at the centre of that expansion.
