"In my opinion the important things are - Knowledge, Passion and Perseverance because one can do better in area of their expertise. Passion will drive the momentum that every business need, it can help create good team and a better organization and patience is equally important as in business things may not move as per the planned road map due internal or external factors but losing patience will not be of any help either. “ – says Dr. Vanita Prasad.

What they have developed at REVY, is a robust microbial consortium, a patented innovation which enables improved operation and high performance of waste water treatment plants. Also, this product of REVY can be applied in management of wet waste.
