AWE Funds, an early-growth venture equity platform focused on building scalable deeptech and technology-led innovations across Climate, Health, and the Future of Work, has invested an undisclosed amount in Digital Paani. Digital Paani is a water-tech platform redefining how cities and industries manage and scale water and wastewater systems. By integrating digital intelligence with existing infrastructure and associated assets, the platform enables zero preventable failures while unlocking new water supply from wastewater.
At the core of Digital Paani’s approach are three capabilities – See, Understand, Act. The platform creates real-time visibility across assets, applies analytics to diagnose issues and predict failures, and enables automated, outcome-driven operations. This helps utilities, municipalities, and enterprises reduce losses, optimize systems, and transform underutilized infrastructure into reliable water resources.
AWE Funds’ investment will be used to strengthen DigitalPaani’s technology stack, enhance real-time monitoring and predictive capabilities, and support expansion across utilities, municipalities, and enterprise clients. As water stress intensifies, solutions that combine infrastructure with digital intelligence are becoming critical to building resilient and sustainable water systems.
Commenting on the investment, Seema Chaturvedi, Founder and Managing Partner at AWE Funds, said, “Water is emerging as one of the most critical constraints across urban and industrial systems. DigitalPaani’s approach of building a data-led layer over existing infrastructure enables significantly better visibility and efficiency in how water is managed. We believe such solutions will play an important role in shaping more resilient and sustainable water systems.”
Mansi Jain, Co-Founder & CEO at Digital Paani said, “This fundraise is pivotal in solving water scarcity and pollution at scale. We’re excited to partner with AWE Funds. Their ClimateTech focus and hands-on approach make them a strong fit as DigitalPaani scales across the country and internationally.”
As water stress intensifies and regulatory frameworks evolve, there is a growing need to treat water management as both an infrastructure and data challenge. Solutions that combine physical systems with digital intelligence are increasingly becoming central to building resilient and sustainable ecosystems.
