Punita Nook Naidu, Co-Founder of H2O DataTech, shares how the Malaysian climate-tech company is turning complex climate and water data into actionable intelligence for governments, businesses, and regulators.Through its platform Airnomik, H2O DataTech helps organisations assess site-specific environmental risks, from floods and droughts to water quality.

She discusses how her team combines AI, engineering, and policy expertise to close the gap between scientific data and real-world decision-making, the challenges of scaling a climate-tech business, and what it takes to make environmental analytics both practical and profitable.
