Karthik Kunjali - Stockholm Water Technology

Clean water is one of the defining challenges of our time and even its own Sustainable Development Goal. One essential piece of the puzzle is wastewater purification. That’s exactly where Stockholm Water Technology comes in. Their team has developed a chemical- and membrane-free purification technology that uses only electricity to remove contaminants and even recover valuable nutrients. In this episode, I talk with Karthik about how their technology works, why it matters and what it could mean for the future of water treatment. We also dive into an unexpected angle: the lessons he brings from his career as a professional athlete and how they shape his approach to building and scaling a deep-tech company.
