Just Add Water

Watching Villagers Struggle to Fetch Water in the Rolling Terrain of North-east India, Subhash Sethi Not Only Saw an Opportunity for Business, but a Chance to Change Lives Forever.

A dogged commitment to provide access to water and electricity to the world’s second largest population requires more than dedication. It requires passion. Personal passion. And lots of it.

Spearheading SPML Infra, one of India’s leading infrastructure development companies, its Chairman Subhash Sethi has the required dedication in bucketloads and is using it to tackle his country’s water and power challenges, one village at a time. While travelling in rural areas three decades ago, Subhash was quick to recognise a huge business opportunity in water supply, but it was his motivation to provide essential services to villagers that drove him to succeed.

His vision was simple. To make life more comfortable for people by providing what many of us take for granted: water and power.

Today, millions of people in different states of the country are far more comfortable thanks to SPML’s projects, which provide solutions for various multidisciplinary engineering and infrastructure services, from conceptualisation to maintenance in water, power, environment and infrastructure.
