Globally, the best long-term estimates attribute\u00a0<strong>~24,000 deaths and ~240,000 injuries<\/strong>\u00a0annually to lightning. With climate variability driving more energetic convective storms, lightning risk and downstream losses to power, telecoms and critical infrastructure are rising.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIndia just cannot treat lightning as a routine weather inconvenience anymore. It is a\u00a0<strong>major public-safety<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<strong>business-continuity<\/strong>\u00a0challenge,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Suyash Gupta, Managing Director, HT Euthalia Systems P Ltd<\/strong>. \u201cBy partnering with Euthalia Italy, we are bringing to India a\u00a0<strong>field-proven, preventive<\/strong>\u00a0technology that\u00a0<strong>changes the equation<\/strong>\u2014from passively conducting a strike to\u00a0<strong>actively avoiding<\/strong>\u00a0one.
