Coimbatore-based EKKI Water Technologies' Co-CEO Kanishka Arumugam has been appointed as an Honorary Fellow at the University of Warwick's Institute for Global Sustainable Development (IGSD).

"I am deeply humbled and honored by the privilege of being appointed as an Honorary Fellow at the University of Warwick, my esteemed alma mater, which ranks among the top 5% in the world," Arumugam said in a statement.

Arumugam is a next-generation leader in his family's business, EKKI, and is the youngest National Next-Gen President at the CII Family Business Network. He was also the driving force behind the first wastewater Joint Venture in collaboration with HOMA, a renowned global wastewater technology company.


“We extend our warmest welcome to Kanishka to our Institute for Global Sustainable Development. We’re excited to have him bring a fresh perspective on sustainable development and bridge the gap between academia and business, particularly through his involvement with the water and wastewater industry globally," Professor Elena Korosteleva, Director of IGSD at the University of Warwick said.

EKKI Water Technologies efficiently and sustainably pumps and transports water for agriculture, building services, and utilities, exporting its products to more than 20 countries. Their work recently earned recognition as a case study at the INSEAD (Institut Européen d’Administration des Affaires) Business School and has been featured in the book 'Enabling Next Gen Legacies."
