Grundfos has opened the Grundfos Intelligent Experience Centre (GIEC) in Chennai, creating a dedicated space to demonstrate advanced water management technologies and digital solutions for industry, utilities, commercial buildings and residential applications. The centre has been designed to present the complete lifecycle of water systems, illustrating how water moves from intake and treatment through distribution, industrial processing, cooling, wastewater transfer and reuse. Through live demonstrations and working installations, visitors can observe how modern pumping systems, digital monitoring tools and intelligent controllers help improve water efficiency and operational reliability.
The facility brings together several of the company’s core technologies, including energy-efficient pumps, digital management platforms and smart monitoring systems. These solutions are aimed at reducing water loss, lowering energy consumption and improving the performance of water infrastructure in a wide range of applications.
The Intelligent Experience Centre has been developed as a platform for technical demonstrations, customer engagement and knowledge sharing. It recreates real-world water flows across industrial operations, commercial buildings, residential complexes and municipal utilities, allowing visitors to see how different systems operate in practical conditions.
Industry stakeholders visiting the centre can examine how technology can be used to optimise water usage, reduce operational costs and improve system resilience. The facility is expected to support engineers, consultants, facility managers and policymakers who are evaluating new approaches to water management.
According to the company, the centre will function as a regional hub for collaboration and technical exchange. By presenting operational data and performance insights, it aims to help organisations better understand how intelligent water solutions can be implemented across different sectors.
Usha Subramaniam, Country President for Grundfos India, said the new facility reflects the company’s focus on combining innovation, sustainable design and digital management to improve water infrastructure. She added that the centre provides a practical demonstration of how integrated solutions can help industries and utilities address water efficiency and sustainability challenges.
India is experiencing increasing demand for reliable water infrastructure as industrial development, urban growth and environmental pressures reshape water management needs. Technologies that support efficient pumping, monitoring and reuse of water are becoming increasingly important for maintaining sustainable operations.
Grundfos Pumps India Pvt Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Denmark-based Grundfos, develops pumping solutions for applications including heating and cooling systems, water supply, wastewater treatment and industrial processing. Globally, the company manufactures more than 16 million pump units each year and continues to focus on technologies aimed at improving resource efficiency and environmental performance.
