Across the world, water is slipping out of reach. Cities are digging deeper every year just to keep taps running. Industries depend on borewells that are running dry. And millions of people in schools, hospitals, small towns, and growing urban centers still struggle to access clean, reliable drinking water.
Meanwhile, plastic bottles pile up, groundwater levels plunge and traditional infrastructure can no longer keep pace with rising demand. Everyone feels the pressure, yet the tools we rely on to solve water scarcity are stuck in the past.
This is the gap Uravu Labs stepped into.
Co-founded by Swapnil Shrivastav (CEO), Govinda Balaji (CPO), Venkatesh RY (COO), and Pardeep Garg (CTO), the team started Uravu with a mission that sounds almost unbelievable at first: create truly renewable freshwater from the air. In a century defined by climate challenges, Uravu Labs is here designing the blueprint for a more resilient future.
At the core of their work is a unique Water from Air® technology that uses liquid salts to absorb moisture from ambient air. Instead of relying on energy-intensive cooling systems, the moisture-rich solution is simply heated using renewable energy like solar, biomass or even industrial waste heat. The vapor released is then condensed into clean, high-quality drinking water. It’s a process that uses about 75% less energy, produces zero carbon emissions, and works across a wide range of climates. More importantly, it creates water without touching groundwater, pipelines or plastic.
For industries, this is a huge gamechanger. Hospitality, beverages, pharmaceuticals and data centers can now generate their own reliable water supply on-site. No overdrawn aquifers. No tanker trucks. No dependence on single-use plastic bottles. Just a decentralized system that grows or shrinks based on need all while being modular, scalable and climate-resilient.
For communities, it offers something even more powerful: access. Areas with failing borewells, limited infrastructure or unreliable supply chains can finally secure a stable source of safe drinking water. Schools and hospitals no longer need to rely on plastic bottles or expensive deliveries. With every installation, Uravu makes clean water not just available, but sustainable.
Their approach combines technology, renewable energy, and a vision for a planet where water is created responsibly, not extracted endlessly. And with products like FromAir, Uravu is proving that clean drinking water doesn’t need to come with plastic waste or environmental cost.
And that’s how Uravu Lab’s work sits at the intersection of climate action and human need. Every installation is one less strain on groundwater, one less plastic bottle in circulation, one more step toward resilience in a warming world. It’s a practical, scalable path to water security at a time when the planet needs it most.
And maybe, with innovations like this, the world’s water story is ready for its next chapter.
