AROUND the world, township communities have historically been largely ignored by businesses. This is beginning to change, however, as corporates and organisations are taking note of the potential within this untapped market.
Take Piramal Sarvajal, for example. In Indiaâs slums and underprivileged communities where safe drinking water is a scarce commodity, this mission-driven social enterprise is using technology to ensure that the underserved have access to this basic necessity.
One of their solutions is water ATMs that provide 24/7 access to safe and affordable drinking water. These dispensers are off the grid thanks to solar power and cloud connected to enable remote tracking of consumption and water quality. Whatâs more, Sarvajal enlists the help of franchisees, or âwater entrepreneursâ, in communities to boost the local economy.
