Roshan Water™ Solutions

Incorporated in 2017, we are a proud startup company and spin-out from the University of Alberta, Canada. We are proud to be majority female owned, and embrace diversity and inclusion as a pillar of strength in our workplace. The foundational concept of our product, VeloCens™, was developed by co-founders, Parmiss Mojir Shaibani, PhD and Amirreza (Amir) Sohrabi, PhD through their academic work. We believe our novel technology can disrupt the way water samples are tested, and significantly improve global access to enumerated, on-demand and near real-time bacteria testing. This is why we believe in “Clear Water, Bright Future”. Globally, diarrhea is the leading cause of deaths of children under 5 years old, with 58% of cases attributed to inadequate access to safe water. Globally, the goal is to provide a safe and accessible water supply to ensure a healthy life for all human beings. Water quality testing standards and guidelines are well established in many countries; however, microbial water tests are commonly not accessible because they require a high skill level and specialized lab equipment to undertake, and do not offer rapid results to inform water safety.
