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.
