Chematico Technologies Pvt. Ltd., an IIT Ropar-incubated deeptech and cleantech startup, develops and manufactures advanced functionalized materials, including nanomaterials and polymers. These materials find applications across diverse technologies such as electrodes, sensors, water treatment systems, flexible electronics, technical textiles, and energy storage and conversion devices. Nevertheless, Chematico’s cavitation technology is poised to transform several sectors including agriculture.
At SPRINT North Edition 2025, hosted by IIT Ropar and iHub–AWaDH, The Interview World had an exclusive conversation with Vijay Kailas Vaishampayan, Founder of Chematico Technologies. He discussed the innovative solutions his startup is creating for the agriculture sector, explained the principles behind cavitation technology, shared insights on product commercialization, and outlined his vision for driving innovation, growth, and market expansion. The following are the key takeaways from his insightful conversation.
Q: Could you elaborate on the types of innovations Chematico Technologies has developed for the agriculture sector?
A: We have developed intensified hydrodynamic cavitation technology, which extends beyond agriculture. It also addresses industrial effluent treatment, sewage water purification, and pond irrigation. In addition, we are exploring multiple agricultural applications, particularly in fertigation. Across these areas, intensified hydrodynamic cavitation technology demonstrates versatile and impactful potential.
Q: Could you describe the principles and technology that drive cavitation?
A: The core of our intensified hydrodynamic cavitation technology lies in the cavitating device. India has traditionally lagged in fabricating such devices. To address this, we have developed in-house designs covering sizes from half an inch to six inches. Across this full range, we can customize solutions to meet specific customer requirements. This capability to design and tailor cavitation devices is our primary unique selling proposition (USP).
Q: Have you already commercialized this product, or is it still in the development process?
A: We have successfully commercialized this product. On 5th June, World Environment Day, DST Secretary Abhay Karandikar and scientist Dr. Anita Gupta inaugurated it at DST’s TATWA event. Following the launch, we have already supplied the product to two to three industries and are currently piloting it with several more.
Q: How many enterprise clients are currently using this technology?
A: We have already supplied this machine to three textile units. Additionally, we are piloting it with six to seven large-scale farm units.
Q: Where do you envision Chematico Technologies in the next 5–10 years in terms of growth, innovation, and market expansion?
A: Our system already addresses key industry requirements: demand, time, cost, and energy-efficient water treatment processes. Currently, we operate at a smaller scale, with capacities of 1 to 2 lakh litres per day. However, some of our future clients require treatment capacities ranging from 20 to 60 lakh litres per day.
We plan to scale our system to meet these larger capacities. Moreover, by increasing capacity, we aim to optimize the technique further and transition it to solar power. In this technology, the only active component is the pump, making it a purely mechanical and highly efficient process.
