Minutes that turn panic into preparedness.
PRAVAAH (प्रवाह) is an AI-driven, IoT-fused early warning and evacuation decision platform engineered specifically for the fast-flowing mountain catchments of India's hilly terrains.
Why generic weather forecasts fail in Indian hill villages
In the plains, floodwaters rise gradually over days, giving authorities ample time to broadcast evacuation orders. But in the steep gorges of Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, and the Western Ghats, flash floods triggered by cloudbursts or glacial breaches unleash destructive torrents in just 15 to 30 minutes.
Traditional meteorological reports issue district-wide alerts covering thousands of square kilometers. By the time a village sarpanch or citizen realizes that their specific tributary has swelled beyond its banks, the evacuation route is already severed.
Pravaah bridges this life-or-death gap. We don't just predict rainfall; we fuse upstream river sensor telemetry, digital elevation models (DEM), and hydrological velocity modeling to answer the single question a village needs: “How many minutes do we have, and which shelter is safe to reach?”
