After entrepreneur Manoj Singh quit Tata Motors in India after an 11 year career, he enrolled in full time in an MBA program at the University British Columbia. During this exciting 15 month period, he interacted with a very diverse and smart group of cohorts that rekindled his inner desire to be a part of solutions that help alleviate basic human global needs and problems, such as clean water, electricity, and access to basic health care.
During this period, one of the technologies that stood out for Manoj was UV-LED technology. It appeared to be very promising for various applications but most interesting to him was it’s ability to purify water in rural and most under developed settings and because it is a proven technology for disinfection of microbes.
