Grundfos is one of the very few businesses that is led by principals with sustainability at its core.

With urbanization taking place at a rapid pace, the water resources in India are strained. The issue is further aggravated with no checks in place for water losses and inefficiencies in urban water utilities. This has in-turn resulted in no Indian city getting round-the-clock water supply for its citizens.
