Business Model Innovation in Consumable Water Supply Sector – An Empirical Investigation of Sustainable Business Model Development
Abstract
The last decade has witnessed exponential rise in the water demand worldwide, thereby witnessing a lot of
innovations in desalination water plants, rainwater collection methods and various ground water tapping techniques. With
the current trends in the price of water, it would be wise to invest in production and distribution of consumable water. This
paper focuses mainly on the filtration plants installed in cities of India, associated with tapping groundwater and distributing
it after filtration. Keeping the current global water scenario in mind, it is highly important to meet the water demand at a
price that yield maximum returns to the supplier and is within the reach almost all consumers, keeping the quality in check.
Thus, the model demands a breakeven between various factors like quality, initial investment, regular expenses and selling
price. The aim of this paper is to develop such a model that provides highest quality available at a certain rate that is
affordable to maximum and simultaneously yield maximum returns.
