ME
Professional Summary
Hello, I'm Anil Guptha, Founder of Anil Guptha Ventures.
As a water expert by profession and an entrepreneur at heart, I've been dedicated to impactful innovations in water purification.
​
From my earliest business lessons at ten years old in our local grocery shop to my passion for water which sparked in 2012 with the founding of Rigo Water Filtration, my journey has been driven by a commitment to excellence.
Rigo started with a small team but quickly expanded. Despite initial setbacks in the residential market, we refocused and relaunched Rigo CSR in 2018, targeting safe drinking water solutions for India's underprivileged rural populations.
Our efforts led to the delivery of safe drinking water to over 2 million people in less than six years, supported by partnerships with major CSR projects.
​
In recognition of our commitment to innovation and readiness for the future, Rigo was recently honoured by The Economic Times as a future-ready organization.
During our 10th anniversary, we broadened our scope by launching Ora and Aqua Kline.
Ora redefines luxury in water purification with advanced technology, while Aqua Kline offers affordable purifiers directly to consumers through a unique factory-to-customer model.
​
Our work has been widely recognized, earning accolades such as the Social Entrepreneur Award of the Year and the Best Project Management Brand for CSR in Rural Development. These honors were presented in global forums in Chicago and New Delhi, respectively.
​
Today, Rigo, together with Ora and Aqua Kline, serves 2 million people daily with safe drinking water. Featured in publications like ANI, Hindustan Times, and Business Standard, and having delivered numerous workshops and talks, I continue to be a vocal advocate for sustainable water solutions.
