This Hyderabad startup delivers drinking water in paper boxes
Live MintSuneeth Tatineni, co-founder of the Hyderabad-based startup Caro Water, recalls a recent trip to Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh when I ask what prompted him and fellow co-founder Chaitanya Ayinapudi to come out with India’s first water box service. “We asked ourselves: why can’t we get a single-use box that could solve this problem?” Caro Water’s boxes use corrugated paper and the ‘BIB’ system, which stands for bag in box, where a spout is surrounded by a corrugated carton box. A consumer orders a Caro Water box, uses it and the startup then takes these boxes back for responsible recycling. For every box returned, consumers also get credit points that can be used for future transactions through the Caro Water app, which is available on both Android and iOS.
