This founder cracked firefighting now hes ...

What’s Happening

Alright so The nozzle is just the beginning – what company founder Sunny Sethi calls “the muscle on the ground.

” Sunny Sethi, founder of HEN Technologies , doesnt sound like someone whos disrupted an industry that has remained largely unchanged since the 1960s. His company builds fire nozzles — specifically, nozzles that it says increase suppression rates 300% while conserving 67% of water. (plot twist fr)

But Sethi is matter-of-fact about this achievement, more focused on whats next than whats already been done.

The Details

And whats next sounds a lot bigger than fire nozzles. His path to firefighting doesn’t follow a tidy narrative.

After nabbing his PhD at the University of Akron, where he researched surfaces and adhesion, he founded ADAP Nanotech, an outfit that developed a carbon nanotube-based portfolio and clutched Air Force Research Lab grants. Next, at SunPower, he developed new materials and processes for shingled photovoltaic modules.

Why This Matters

When he landed next at a company called TE Connectivity, he worked on devices with new adhesive formulations to enable faster manufacturing in the automotive industry.

This could have major implications for how we use technology going forward.

The Bottom Line
