For decades, sanitation has relied on people entering environments no one should have to work in.
By bringing together robotics, engineering and AI, we are building safer systems for underground infrastructure and a more dignified future for sanitation workers.
We are grateful to Shri @PiyushGoyal, ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ผ๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ ๐จ๐ป๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฐ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๏ฟฝ๏ฟฝ, for recognising our vision.
This acknowledgement strengthens our resolve and motivates us to continue working towards a safer, smarter and more dignified future for sanitation.

Understand Your Pipelines Better.
Water loss, contamination risks and internal pipeline defects are difficult to address when you cannot see what is happening inside the network.
At IFAT India 2026, discover how Solinas's robotic pipeline inspection solutions help utilities, industries and infrastructure teams make invisible pipeline conditions visible.

What began as an idea in a classroom at @iitmadras has grown into #HomoSEPSewer, a Manhole Cleaning Robot built to help eliminate manual scavenging, protecting lives and preserving dignity.
This Teacherโs Day, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to the teachers and mentors who shaped our vision, nurtured our curiosity, and inspired us to transform a classroom idea into technology that creates meaningful change.
Happy Teacherโs Day!

The solution is ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ซ
Even today, sanitation workers across India continue to enter manholes exposing themselves to toxic gases, hazardous waste and life-threatening conditions.
No one deserves to lose their life simply because they were trying to earn a living and provide for their family.
That is precisely why we created ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ฐ๐๐ซ - A Robotic ๐๐๐ง๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ง๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐๐จ๐ญ built not only to clean manholes, but to protect human lives and preserve human dignity.
Today, HomoSEP has been deployed across 30+ cities in India. Watching what was once our vision become a reality every day reinforces our commitment.
We started with a belief: NO Human should have to enter a manhole.
And we will continue working until that belief becomes the norm.

In an conversation with our Divanshu, Co-founder & CEO and Sunil Gupta, Head of Strategic Initiatives, reflects on his professional journey, what caught his attention about Solinas, and why he chose to be part of our mission.
Sometimes, the right opportunity is not just about the role - itโs about the problem you get to solve and the impact you can create.
Hear Sunil share his story and his perspective on being part of Solinas.

Weโre looking for the right partners to grow with us.
As Solinas strengthens its presence across the states, weโre building a network of distributors, contractors and municipal channel partners to take our robotic water and sanitation solutions to more cities.
With ENDOBOT for robotic pipeline inspection and HOMOSEP for mechanized manhole cleaning, weโre enabling safer, smarter and more efficient infrastructure operations.
From Kasargod to Thiruvananthapuram, our next phase of growth in Kerala begins now.
Interested in partnering with us?

๐จ Chennai-based Solinas Integrity (@solinas_in) has raised $5.5M in their Series A1 round led by Mela Ventures and Hero Enterprise Family Office.
They are building AI-powered robots that inspect underground water and sewer pipelines for leaks, blockages and structural damages.
Can you spot what is common across these pipeline inspections?
โ No full-road digging
โ Minimal disruption
โ Safer, smaller work zones
Result?
Up to 10x lower costs & fewer COโ emissions!
India's next infrastructure revolution won't happen above the ground. It will happen beneath it.
Proud to share a thought leadership article by our Founder & CEO, Divanshu Kumar, featured in Hindustan Times @htTweets!
A proud moment for Solinas Integrity!
We were honoured to welcome H.E. Dr. Hussein Ali Mwinyi, President of Zanzibar, H.E. Mrs. Mariam Mwinyi and the delegation, and showcase our robotics & AI solutions for water and sanitation.
Thank you, @iitmadras & @iitmrp.
Every monsoon, we blame the rain.
Hidden blockages, silt buildup & cracks inside stormwater pipelines can reduce drainage capacity long before roads flood.
Hence the best time to fix a flooding problem is not after the road is underwater; before the issue becomes visible.
A proud moment for Team Solinas Integrity at VivaTech 2026, Paris.
Some moments make the long hours, challenges, and persistence feel worth it. This was one of them.
We were honoured to be part of the India Pavilion at VivaTech, showcasing India's innovation ecosystem on a global stage. The visit of the Hon'ble Prime Minister @narendramodi to the pavilion made it even more memorable.
As an Indian Institute of Technology, Madras-incubated startup building robotics and AI solutions for critical water and sewer infrastructure, we were proud to represent India's innovation journey alongside fellow startups pushing the boundaries of technology.
Grateful for the opportunity, the conversations, and the chance to contribute to India's growing presence in deep-tech innovation.
