Following his MA in Intelligent Information Systems from Birkbeck, Sundeep Donthamshetty used his newfound skills gained on the course to found technology start-up WEGoT Utility Solutions, pioneering ways of conserving water in his native India and creating new solutions to the problem of water conservation.

WEGoT designed and developed a ‘smart’ water meter that sends relevant data to the consumer in almost real-time, allowing them to monitor and take responsibility for how much, where and for what purpose they are using water in areas where water conservation presents real challenges. To date, WEGoT has saved over three billion litres of water.

Sundeep studied his Master’s degree part-time while raising his children and credits the course with giving him both the knowledge and confidence to become an entrepreneur.
