Conventional car wash requires a minimum of 150 to 180 litres of water. Whereas, this team of youngsters wash cars with only three to five litres (for big vehicles), saving an enormous amount of water every day, around 40,000 litre of water till date.

Chetan Somashekar, Sachin Shrikant, Vikas Raj, Sharada Prasad and Ganesh Prasad came up with this innovative start up in October. In addition to providing quality service, they are creating employment opportunity for the deaf and dumb.“We believe in saving water as a social responsibility. To save the ten million litres of water from going to waste every day, we have begun to promote eco-friendly water-less car wash campaign,” say the team members.Here is all you need to know about the start up, founders and their experience.
