Minhaj Chowdhury, cofounder and CEO of Drinkwell, is doing it -- and just got another $500,000 to keep providing clean water to India and Bangladesh. He won the first-ever Under 30 Impact Challenge today at the Forbes Under 30 Summit in Boston. In India and Bangladesh, the region’s drinking supply is plagued with arsenic, fluoride and iron water contamination but Drinkwell offers a lifeline. Add to that, Drinkwell has created 500 jobs and Chowdhury earned a spot on Forbes’ 30 Under 30 list in 2015. As the winner, Drinkwell qualifies for up to $250,000 in investment from The Rise Fund, and a $250,000 media grant from Forbes.
