- The Taraltec Disinfection Reactor is a palm-sized device that can be installed in a borewell hand pump.
- Closer home, a study by NITI Aayog in June 2018 found that nearly 600 million Indians are under extreme water stress and about 200,000 people die every year due to lack of access to clean potable water.
- To overcome this crisis, 59-year old Anjan Mukherjee, a former marine chief engineer, created a device to turn contaminated water into safe water .
- Along with his wife Piyul Mukherjee, he started Taraltec Solutions in 2017 in Mumbai.
- As the demand for the reactor grows, several corporate houses such as Reliance, Godrej, Jubilant, Lupin, Nalanda Foundation, Water Aid, and Tata Trusts have partnered with Taraltec for their CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) activities.
