In a groundbreaking move for India’s beverage and sustainability sectors, AeroNero Solutions Pvt Ltd, a pioneer in Atmospheric Water Generation (AWG) technology, has joined forces with OI Brewing Co. to unveil AQUAIR, India’s inaugural bottled water brand derived entirely from atmospheric moisture. This innovative venture signifies a monumental shift in the bottled water industry, offering a renewable drinking water source that eliminates the need for groundwater extraction. Production is set to begin in Pune, with a daily capacity of 10,000 liters, targeting both retail consumers and the broader beverage market. AeroNero will deploy its cutting-edge AWG machines, while OI Brewing Co. will manage bottling, branding, and market distribution, positioning AQUAIR as a premium, eco-conscious water brand. The AWG technology extracts humidity from the air, condenses it, and purifies the water through a multi-stage filtration and mineralization process, delivering lab-certified, naturally pure drinking water. Dr. Durga Das, CEO of AeroNero, emphasized that AQUAIR embodies a future where water is created without depleting natural resources, stating, ‘We are literally producing hope from thin air.’ Aman Talreja of OI Brewing Co. echoed this sentiment, describing AQUAIR as a reimagining of responsible water sourcing. Dr. Subash Cipy, founder of OI Brewing Co., highlighted the technology’s potential to address water scarcity and reshape industry practices. Ketaki Sehgal of AeroNero praised the partnership for its alignment with sustainability goals. Ravi Karkara, co-founder of the Global Air Water Generation Initiative, underscored the transformative potential of AWG in democratizing access to clean water. With plans to expand production across major cities, AQUAIR aligns with India’s Mission LiFE and the UN Sustainable Development Goals, championing a regenerative model for water access and sustainable consumption.
