> We track the the water from the filling source to the delivery using GPS, giving users confidence they received clean water I wonder how easy it would be for water suppliers to cheat such a system. Perhaps the supplier will send the GPS device to the clean water source on a motorcycle, and send the water truck to the dirty source. I'd recommend you occasionally sample the consumers water tank and test the quality of the water. |

This single line shows what NextDrop's malicious intents are underneath snake-oil salesmanship.
Who decides about a qualified water supplier and how ? Im sorry to say this - how is this not snake oil salesmanship ? Water quality is a gargantuan regulatory challenge that no civil body takes easily. The sheer scale of this even in a small city/country is a lot. And NextDrop lay (fake) claims to solve this for India delivering water trucks! Right ok.
From other comment-threads it can be gathered that commercial water supply is already an illegitimate business. So NextDrop wants to make most of this illegal business by helping clients with more gadgets. And they are doing in grand style of selling vision of "Securing India's Future One Drop At A Time" in their landing page. Wow, unbelievable. That reads like a hollywood line - "Securing earth's future one ______ at a time".
The disappointment gets worse when I learn that OP appears to be a bright kid having studied in an institute of repute. https://www.linkedin.com/in/anu-sridharan-b24a016/?ppe=1.
Sometimes solution to even pressing needs as this do not solve the problem - instead they further widen the wounds. NextDrop and likes will stand testimony to these facts.
I see somebody pointing out this to be Uber for Water - uber actually stands for fighting regulatory. NextDrop and likes will stand for aggregating-and-being-a-proxy for web of illegitmate business! Huge difference.
