Haber's autonomous water management approach has demonstrated measurable reductions in water consumption and treatment chemical costs at customer sites.\n\nWater scarcity is one of the most significant industrial and environmental challenges facing India and the broader Asian region, with industrial water consumption under increasing regulatory and social pressure. Haber's AI-driven approach to industrial water efficiency addresses a compliance and cost imperative for manufacturers that cannot reduce output but must demonstrably improve water stewardship.

Canva got there first, launching in 2013 — that's 3 years of extra runway. Haber didn't arrive until 2016. In AI, that kind of head start means more training data, deeper customer relationships, and a bigger talent moat.

Haber has about 100-500 employees; Canva has about 7500. A bigger team usually means more revenue or heavier VC backing, but in AI, small teams can build at massive scale.

Yes — they're direct rivals. Both Haber and Canva compete in Enterprise AI, targeting many of the same buyers. If you're evaluating one, you should be looking at the other.
