About Agastya Buoyant Pvt. Ltd.

With growing awareness of India becoming one of the most polluted nations on earth, we tend to focus on mainly on air pollution. However, there is another pollution that severely affects the well-being of humans & other species – Water Pollution.

We live in a land of festivals (“Baro Mashe Tero Parbon”), yet ignore the hazard we create in the water bodies that sustain our lives. Not only through the waste we dump, but even natural encroachments like water hyacinth cause our water bodies to shrink. According to World Resource Institute, our national water resource will fall below 50% by 2030. Further, boats and trawlers that have sunk over the years (more than 3000 in the last years in just 9 states) have made our rivers dangerous.

So how do we solve this looming problem of water pollution?

We at Agastya Buoyant have created cost-effective yet reliable solutions, by mastering innovative Inflatable Technology that can remove surface pollution, as well as salvage heavy underwater material. One of our products - Trash Boom - creates an inflatable barrier that can control surface trash & weeds. It has already been used extensively in cleaning and maintaining 1,20,000 square metres of lake area in Bengal and Karnataka. Recently it has been introduced as an integral component of cleaning Ganga by National Mission for Clean Ganga.

Another of our products - Underwater Lift Bag - has already been used by the Indian Army and other salvaging companies and is ready to be inducted in a number of Diving Institutes in Bengal as part of their salvaging course.

Apart from reducing water pollution, Agastya Buoyant is pioneering indigenized R&D in Inflatable Technology for various other uses such as Disaster Management, Aerial Surveillance & Biogas Generation, and we are exploring many new application areas in Defence & Space Technologies.
