Dinesh Rathi | DRA Consultants Limited

It is an alarming truth of our times that despite all the progress that has come with modernisation, millions of people still live without access to clean water and energy supply. Quick to realise that developing clean energy solutions is the need of our times, entrepreneur Dinesh Rathi, set up his environmental consultancy practice, DRA Consultants Pvt Ltd, in Nagpur in the early 1990s. The driving force behind establishing this firm, soon after completing his engineering studies, was his desire to be a game-changer in the environmental sector and chart his own career graph.

After the inevitable early challenges, the company has grown to have a valuation of over INR 50 Crore on the BSE today. DRA Consultants has won many awards nationally and internationally for their work which focuses on improving water supply in urban areas. Dinesh envisions a time when every urban household in India has 24x7 water supply.
