Did you know that India will be close to a drought nation by 2025?Did you know that 10 out of 29 states in India are already extremely water stressed?And did you know that 90% of the packaged drinking water manufacturers drill the ground water but do not replenish the ground water to desired extent?Imagine, 1.25 bn people (the current population of India) in the near future, with an increased spending power, start to use and throw single use PET bottles of bottled drinking water. Consider the harm we would be doing to our environment. Hiker aims to bring extreme innovation into the water industry through smart bottles. Just as the way mainframes and PCs were replaced by smart phones, we believe present day water purifiers will be replaced by smart bottles. And Hiker is the fastest growing startup up in this space. We have also been recognized as a NextBig100 highly innovative startup in India by Hay Group. And this is just a beginning!

I launched and led the Smilestones newsletter group at Tata Steel. Steel plant projects usually end up being in remote locations draining the employee motivation and productivity over time. With an aim to build a strong community, I launched the "Smilestones" newsletter, inviting crowd generated content and highlighting key achievements of various employees. Senior management took to commend employees through the newsletter. Stories covering mega-projects such as the Hoover Dam were covered to inspire employees to grow beyond challenges and deliver extreme results.
