The problem came first
Devesh Bharadwaj founded Pani in 2017, months before finishing an engineering degree at the University of Victoria, working on a battery that stored energy through desalination. The second idea was hardware that made desalination plants more efficient.
Both worked. But the problem we cared about, plants running on far less information than they needed, couldn't be solved one plant at a time with new equipment. It needed something that could reach every plant already standing, on the instrumentation it already had. That's what took us to software.
Operational intelligence for water treatment
Pani is a global software company focused on utility and industrial water and wastewater operational intelligence. Our team spans product, engineering, implementation and customer success, supporting operators across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific.
Getting there meant real time inside plants: sitting with operators, working through years of SCADA data and control-room habits, and understanding where compliance, cost, and uptime actually collide. What we heard, over and over, was the same tension. Utilities and industrial operators need to hit tightening sustainability and compliance targets without their operating costs going up to do it. That's the problem Pani is built to solve.
The plants we work with weren't built yesterday and won't be replaced tomorrow. That's the point. Pani works with the instrumentation you already have, and at any level of it.
