Founder and CEO of ECOSTP, Tharun Kumar

Tharun Kumar is the CEO and founder of ECOSTP, which provides a patented zero-power, zero-chemical sewage treatment system. The purpose of ECOSTP is to naturally recover every drop of wastewater, and they have deep knowledge in sustainable solutions for sewage treatment. To challenge the established practice of treating sewage using power-hungry motors, they have developed a novel “Zero Power Zero Chemical” sewage treatment solution.

Tharun pushes his strategic vision and has in-depth expertise in sewage treatment products. He has a track record of starting from scratch, institutionalizing procedures, and motivating teams to produce sustainability-related “companies” and “products.” With Motorola, Hughes, Cable & Wireless, and Sutherland in the past, Tharun held executive positions.

Tharun is concentrating on utilizing traditional knowledge in his current position and exploring ways to actually apply this knowledge to address the environmental issues we are currently experiencing, notably wastewater treatment. The goal of ECOSTP is to use sewage reuse, beginning in India, to address the world’s water crisis.

The innovation of ECOSTP Technologies, which cleanses sewage in underground chambers without the use of electricity, chemicals, or human labor, has led to its selection.

The American Chemical Society (ACS) has recognized ECOSTP as one of the “20 promising firms cleaning up water.” It was chosen as Business Today’s Coolest Startup for 2019 and was also chosen by Salto/Audacity Singapore as their “Most Audacious Startup.”

The Global Health & Pharma (GHP), UK, presented the “Most Sustainable Sewage Treatment Technology Developer 2022” Biotechnology Award to ECOSTP.
