Speaking on this occasion Ashish Chauhan Managing Director and CEO of BSE Ltd said “The human right to water and sanitation has yet to become a reality for one-third of the global population. 2.1 billion people still do not have access to safe drinking water and 4.5 billion people still lack access to safe water. Poor sanitation, water, and hygiene lead to about 675,000 premature deaths annually. In India as we all know, this is a very critical issue. We believe that startups have a critical role to play in this domain by evolving innovative solutions to address this issue. Israel is a world leader in water related technologies and I’m very excited about the impact that this can make at the ground level. ”
The Consul General of Israel in Mumbai, Yaakov Finkelstein said “It’s delighting to see India & Israel cooperating once again on this strategic field of water. Water is the most basic and vital resource and we’re using the most advanced technologies to find solutions to water problems. Water-innovation combines the most simple element (-water) with the most advanced technology (-innovation). Similarly, India and Israel represent two ancient civilizations and at the same time maintain a very high standard of science and state-of-the-art technology.”
