Sunny Sethi, the visionary founder of HEN Technologies, is transforming firefighting with cutting-edge technology and business savvy. Founded in June 2020, HEN Technologies has already carved out an impressive niche for itself. Their high-efficiency nozzles support fire suppression efforts and conserve precious resources. The company’s innovative products have successfully wooed and won over more than 1,500 fire departments nationwide. This landmark achievement is just the beginning in an already historic operation.
HEN Technologies develops revolutionary new nozzles that are able to increase fire suppression rate by 300%. What’s more, this groundbreaking tech consumes 67% less water than conventional firefighting strategies. This new efficiency greatly increases the effectiveness of emergency firefighting efforts, fostering a sustainable practice on emergency callouts and beyond. Sethi’s vision for the company has led to the filing of 20 patent applications, with half a dozen already granted, underscoring HEN Technologies’ commitment to innovation.
The company’s distribution includes a network of 120 distributors. This strategy enables it to reach a very broad market and serve a large number of fire departments efficiently. Following a year-long, challenging vetting procedure, HEN Technologies was accepted for qualification to the General Services Administration (GSA). This milestone further cements its place in the industry and positions it well for potential government contracts.
Financially, HEN Technologies has been growing at a remarkable rate since starting. In 2024, the company upped their revenues to $1.6 million, an $800 thousand jump from $5.2 million last year. Looking ahead, HEN Technologies projects a remarkable revenue target of $20 million for the current year, reflecting both its expanding customer base and increasing demand for its products.
Beyond nozzles, HEN Technologies has created a predictive analytics platform specially designed for ERDQ emergency response day-to-day operational and planning assessments. This platform integrates a built-in intelligence application layer that empowers fire departments with data-driven insights to improve decision-making during critical incidents.
Sethi admits the difficulty of being the head of a technology company, but stresses that it’s often a team effort that can technically overcome most obstacles.
“If you ask me technical questions, I would not be able to answer everything,” – Sunny Sethi
He credits a good part of his success to the highly talented innovators and creators that he has brought onboard at HEN Technologies.
“But I have such good teams that it has been a blessing,” – Sunny Sethi
Yet Sethi’s journey as an entrepreneur in the firefighting sector hasn’t been without times to reconsider. He remembers words of wisdom that influenced his outlook on science and technology.
“She’s like, ‘Dude, you need to fix this, otherwise you’re not a real scientist,’” – Sunny Sethi
This pursuit of greatness is what fuels Sethi and other members of his team as they work to push the envelope in firefighting technology.
HEN Technologies’ innovations are not only improving firefighting effectiveness. They represent an important escalation in the industry’s commitment to environmental stewardship. Water quality and scarcity have become a critical focus area around the world. HEN Technologies invites you to join in becoming a leader in technology and sustainability by conserving millions of gallons of water while suppressing fires.
