Hyderabad Smart Water Meters | Hyderabad, Nov 10: Krutsnam, a startup that began at IIT Kanpur, is now making its own smart water meters in Hyderabad. Greater Hyderabad residents booked about 8.4 lakh water tankers from June to September this year. They are estimated to have spent more than ₹40 crore on water so far.
The founders are Sriharsha, Vinay Chataraju, Pruthvi Sagar Anagani and Neeraj Kumar Rai. Through a platform called “Dhara”, they give residential complexes and industries clear data on water use. The idea behind the startup, according to the source, is that water use should be measured like any business expense.

Every morning, “Dhara Pulse” sends residents a WhatsApp message showing how much water each flat used the previous day. The ultrasonic smart meters measure water flow every hour.
They can also detect dripping from flushes or taps and show where water is being wasted. The company says this helps residents see how much water they use and may ease the maintenance burden for some apartments.
The meter works with a 4G SIM, and its battery lasts five years. The company says it has installed more than 15,000 meters across the country.
