Sustainable development goal 6 targets access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all by the end of 2030. Water is an important component to sustain life on earth and it has to be clean for human consumption. We store water in tanks and the cleanliness of these tanks is often neglected. Professional Tank Cleaning Services involve some technicalities rather than the generic procedure and there are few in the industry that can comply with safety and hygiene norms while doing so. Swif Tank Systems is one such company providing tank cleaning services to residential as well as industrial customers.
Founded in 2003 with a handful of resources company has steered through initial struggles in generating sustainable business operations. Increasing awareness among individuals and households was a challenge at the start but eventually has become the driving force for business growth for Swif Tank Systems. Regular tank cleaning has become a norm in society, India’s real estate boom is followed by rapid urbanization in tier-I cities and tier-II cities and has provided tremendous business opportunities for the company.
