Funding to support factory-manufactured platform for decentralised sewage and effluent treatment

New Delhi, August 19, 2026: Neuromod Aqua, an Indian water-infrastructure company, has raised its pre-seed round from Porush Jain, Founder of Sportskeeda, to build a factory-manufactured platform for decentralised sewage and effluent treatment. The company aims to develop a standardised, lifecycle-led approach to wastewater infrastructure, moving beyond one-off civil-construction projects.

Use of Capital

The funding will be deployed to:

- Advertisement -

  • Establish a manufacturing platform.
  • Develop and validate a productised STP (sewage treatment plant).
  • Complete initial commercial deployments.
  • Expand process-engineering and service capabilities.

Neuromod is developing modular treatment plants using proven technologies such as MBBR, MBR, and SBR, with innovation focused on design, manufacturing, and deployment.

Market Context

  • India’s urban centres generate 72,368 MLD of sewage daily (CPCB).
  • Installed treatment capacity: 31,841 MLD.
  • Actual treatment: 20,235 MLD (~28%).
  • By 2047, India may need an additional 70,000 MLD capacity, requiring ₹1.56–2.31 lakh crore investment (CEEW, 2025).

Neuromod’s thesis: this gap cannot be closed by treating every plant as a fresh civil-construction project. Instead, productisation enables standardisation, predictable deployment, and lifecycle service.

Leadership Commentary

Anuj Arora, Founder & CEO, Neuromod Aqua:

“Wastewater treatment does not suffer from a shortage of acronyms or proven processes. It suffers from unpredictable execution, fragmented accountability, and poor long-term ownership. We are taking what already works scientifically and redesigning how it is manufactured, delivered, and operated. Our ambition is to turn treatment plants from one-off projects into dependable products.”

Porush Jain, Investor & Founder of Sportskeeda:

“Water infrastructure is a large and necessary market in which execution quality matters as much as treatment technology. Neuromod’s focus on standardization, manufacturing discipline, and long-term service gives it the potential to build a scalable company in a sector that has traditionally remained project-led.”

Team

Neuromod is led by:

  • Anuj Arora, Founder & CEO.
  • Anand Dad, Co-Founder & CTO, an environmental engineer from Georgia Tech.

The company intends to derive a growing share of its economics from annual maintenance contracts, operations and maintenance, compliance support, equipment replacement, and remote monitoring, aligning incentives with long-term plant performance.

Roadmap (Next 12 Months)

  • Commission manufacturing facility.
  • Complete initial deployments in Delhi NCR.
  • Build service and spare-parts network.
  • Expand product configurations across STP, ETP, ZLD, water reuse, RO, and demineralization applications.
