UnWire : Untangling cities, one pole at a time
 

The Problem

Indian cities are tangled in unsafe, unorganised electric and communication wires. These messy clusters cause frequent service disruptions, electrocution hazards, fire risks, harm to wildlife, and make cities look unplanned and chaotic.

Causes:
  • Multiple providers using the same poles without coordination
  • Failure to remove old and unused wires
  • Weak enforcement of safety and municipal regulations
  • Low-hanging wires that endanger people, workers, and animals

Why It Matters to Me

A few years ago, I was walking down a busy street when I saw something I'll never forget. A bird, tangled in a mess of wires, was struggling to free itself. Then, in a flash, it was gone, its life lost in a tragic, preventable accident.
That incident made me realise that unorganised wiring isn't just an eyesore; it's a profound risk to lives, safety, and the environment. Since then, I've wanted to build a systematic and sustainable solution.

Our Startup

UnWire works with municipalities, ISPs, telecom providers, and electricity boards to deliver end-to-end solutions — from safe installation to smart monitoring and recycling. By combining technology with sustainability, we create a cleaner, safer, and more accountable urban future.

Our Solutions

                     1. Modular Cable Management Systems

    • We use industry-standard cable trays, conduits, and labelled bundling systems to securely elevate, separate, and organise wires for every utility.
    • Colour coding and owner-specific tags are applied to each wire, enabling faster identification and reducing mistakes during maintenance or upgrades.

      2. Active Monitoring and Accountability
    • IoT-enabled monitoring devices detect loose, damaged, or redundant wires.
    • Regular audits in partnership with municipal bodies to ensure old and unauthorised connections are systematically removed.

      3. Wire Recovery and Recycling Program
  • Structured processes to collect and recycle unused or illegal wires, reducing clutter while contributing to a circular economy.

  • UnWire offers a smart, organized solution to messy urban wiring, enhancing safety and efficiency. Through monitoring, modular systems, and recycling, it reduces hazards and promotes sustainability
  • This is a thoughtful and impactful idea! UnWire tackles a serious urban problem by making cities safer, cleaner, and more organized, while also adding sustainability through recycling. It’s a smart blend of technology and social responsibility.
  • The idea addresses a problem which is a true challenge in urban cities. Not only do the wires make cities look cluttered, they also pose risk to public safety. This is a very thoughtful and practical concept, which can improve and help develop city infrastructure.
  • This is a clear and impactful idea. The problem is well explained and the personal story makes it more relatable. The solutions are practical and cover organisation, monitoring, and recycling. Adding some data and a brief business angle could make it even stronger.
  • Such an important initiative! I like how UnWire tackles the issue from all sides — safer installation, active monitoring, and even recycling. The colour coding and IoT-enabled accountability make it both practical and scalable, while also addressing safety and environmental concerns. Feels like a much-needed step toward cleaner and safer cities.
  • A timely idea—organised wiring can significantly improve urban safety, reduce hazards, and make cities future-ready
  • “This is an outstanding initiative that not only tackles a daily urban hazard but also reimagines how our cities can be safer, smarter, and more sustainable. What makes UnWire special is the holistic approach — from organised installation to real-time monitoring and even recycling — ensuring the problem is solved at its root instead of being patched temporarily. The personal story behind it adds a strong human and environmental dimension, making the mission deeply relatable. If executed well, UnWire has the potential to become a model for urban infrastructure worldwide, turning chaotic wires into symbols of safety, order, and innovation.”
  • This is an inspiring and highly practical initiative. UnWire not only tackles urban safety and service reliability but also addresses environmental impact, combining technology, sustainability, and accountability to create cleaner, safer, and smarter cities.
