About
Guerrilla.Co is a London-based startup dedicated to revolutionising environmental solutions through the integration of cutting-edge engineering concepts and design methodologies.
Our mission is to create innovative products that contribute to the betterment of the planet. The team is currently developing a patent-pending device, Guerrilla, designed to capture pollution from road runoff, an environmental concern that is reported to mobilise 30% of ocean pollution. Our device is designed to retrofit seamlessly into existing roadside drains and separate city pollution from rainwater without membranes, electricity, or moving parts.
With the point of intervention very close to the source of pollution, our device is able to extract various forms of contaminants including heavy metals, toxic hydrocarbons and pathogens before they ever enter the drainage network, resulting in massive savings in water treatment costs for the city.
Guerrilla is a robust system and low-maintenance solution which, unlike other sustainable drainage systems, does not require additional real estate nor infrastructural overhaul, making it a scalable, affordable and sustainable intervention.
By developing Guerrilla alongside industry experts and relevant stakeholders, we are tackling runoff pollution to build a water-resilient future for London, and the world.

Hunaid Nagaria
CTO
Hunaid is a mechanical engineer turned designer and technologist. His experience encompasses a range of tangible and digital projects at the intersection of Interaction, Industrial, and Visual Design with accessibility in focus. The challenges that excite him the most are where his contributions aren’t limited to a singular discipline. Hunaid’s work has been supported by institutions such as the Mayor of London’s office, IxDA, Ordnance Survey (Geovation), Grantham Institute (Greenhouse Accelerator) and the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. Nowadays, you will find him bicycling around London, navigating food, culture, art, and people.
Adhesh Shenoy
CEO
Adhesh is passionate about using design methodologies and engineering concepts in driving innovative solutions to global problems. He started his first venture at 17, making social work fun which received appreciation from the PM of India. Following this, he’s worked on various independent projects across industries from tools to inculcate independence in autistic children to wearable devices for rescue workers in developing countries. He’s now focused on mitigating ocean pollution mobilised from runoff.
