S3E4 - Is Water from Air Actually a Scam or a Gift? You'll Be Astounded! | (don't) Waste Water! | Water Tech to Solve the World

Description

with 🎙️ Navkaran Singh Bagga - Founder & CEO @ Akvo Atmospheric Water Systems

💧 Akvo produces Water from Air, aka Limitless Water from Unlimited Air

What we covered:

🍏 How water may be a bit less scarce than we all thought, considering there are 140 trillion liters of water up in the air at any point in time

🍏 How the decentralized nature of Water from Air is an enabler for the solution to grow

🍏 How AKVO refined and optimized a pretty simple technology

🍏 Key Hints on the best ingredients to get your water innovations adopted by the early and late majorities

🍏 How Water from Air is by no means a silver bullet - it only has the potential to solve the water challenges of 3 billion people

🍏 How competition in your markets and applications is a good sign that you're on the right track

🍏 How paying for water is still not a given, and how challenging it is to explain that you're charging for the technology, not the resource.

🍏 The perks of being a bootstrapped business

🍏 How AKVO tripled its size in the past three years and how Navkaran expects his company to triple again by the end of this year

🍏 How the company ambitions to turn Water from Air into Atmospheric Water Generation as a Service

🍏 International expansion, prepaid water distribution, fighting boredom and much more

Currently in its 10th Season, the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast has already welcomed around 250 guests from Water Majors (SUEZ, Veolia, Jacobs, Xylem, Kemira, Evoqua, Aquatech, SKion Water...), Scale-Ups (Cambrian Innovation, Epic Cleantec, Gradiant, Liqtech, 374Water, Gingko Bioworks...), Start-Ups (Puraffinity, KETOS, 120Water, ZwitterCo, Membrion, Source...), Universities (Berkeley, the Columbia Water Center), Investment Funds (Sciens Water, Mazarine, Burnt Island Ventures...), Business Accelerators (Imagine H2O, Elemental...), Book Authors (Seth Siegel, David Sedlak, David Lloyd Owen...) or Market Intelligence Companies (BlueTech Research, Global Water Intelligence, World Bank, OECD, Isle Utilities...). Or simply water legends like Gary White, Mina Guli or Andrew Benedek!

On the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast, I strive to make the Water Industry easy to understand for everyone, starting with water professionals, executives, and investors. Hence, he opens the microphone to seasoned, inspirational water experts to discuss their field of excellence.

No one can claim an all-around in-depth understanding of a matter as complex as Water. But piece by piece, you can rebuild the puzzle. With curiosity, patience, and passion, Antoine Walter explores topics such as Advanced Treatment Technologies, Water-Energy Nexus (Hydrogen, Lithium...), PFAS removal, Nature-Based Solutions, Wastewater Reuse, Distributed Water Treatments, Water Finance, and Water Entrepreneurship.

I actually firmly believe that regular listeners of the "(don't) Waste Water" podcast may, in the end, claim a "Water MBA!"

A particular field of interest is how innovation forms, grows and gets widely adopted in a complex and conservative field like the Water Industry. This may be one of the keys to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal n°6 - #SDG6.

Oh, and in short, about me: I'm a water engineer turned avid student of the water business, market, finance, and tech. I'm married, a happy father of three, and I'm French (nobody's perfect 😅).
