Hydris builds the intelligence layer for water, combining fragmented plant data with captured operator expertise so teams can diagnose problems and act on them faster.

Hydris builds the intelligence layer for water. Water systems hold vast data across SCADA, laboratory systems, spreadsheets and operator logs, alongside decades of expertise that leaves when experienced staff retire. Hydris captures that expertise, applies it to live plant data, and guides operators toward action.

Hydris, Inc. is building the intelligence layer for water. Water systems hold vast operational data across SCADA, laboratory systems, spreadsheets and operator logs, alongside decades of expertise that leaves when experienced staff retire. Hydris captures that expertise, applies it to live plant data, and guides operators toward action. Three products serve the plant floor: Hydris Lite for daily operating intelligence, available today, with Hydris Pulse for guided diagnostics and Hydris Field for hands-free field operations in development. Hydris is designed for water operations across industrial facilities, municipal water and wastewater utilities, treatment and reuse systems, and multi-site organizations. The company was founded in 2026 and is headquartered in Portland, Oregon.

Vetri Dhagumudi is founder and chief executive of Hydris, which builds the operational intelligence layer for water. He spent nearly two decades in water engineering, plant operations and global water strategy for large manufacturers, working the same problem from the shop floor and from the boardroom. He grew up where water was not a given, which is what pointed him at the industry in the first place. He left that work in June 2026 to build Hydris.
