Dr. Vibha Tripathi, Founder, Boon

Dr. Vibha Tripathi is a social entrepreneur working in the energy and water sector. She holds a post-graduate and PhD degree from IIT Kanpur with specialization in the research and development of solar energy.

Dr. Tripathi is the founder of Boon, a technology driven company with a focus on social and environmental impact with respect to drinking water. She has been the key driver behind Boon’s IoT enabled WaterATMs® and WaterCubes, commercial premium drinking water machines meant for 100+ people. Each machine is driven by an IoT mechanism designed and engineered by Boon’s in-house R&D facility, which allows the team to send and receive key information. The company collects this data through the remotest parts of the country and has built a unique water map. This remote-control mechanism also allows management to repair and update the machines effortlessly. The latest designs for B2B allow user engagement, a QR Code phone app to check water quality in real time and a dashboard for admin to monitor their usage. Many of the designs are solar ready.

Boon is currently on their 4th generation with reaching 1000 installations. Boon is instrumental in giving clean drinking water to half a million people daily while removing 85 tons of plastics annually.

In her free time, she loves rustling up interesting meals, preparing for marathons, and traveling to new destinations.
