Uravu Labs is a water-tech company that produces high-quality drinking and process water from atmospheric moisture. Its proprietary, desiccant-based technology uses renewable energy to provide a scalable, sustainable, and decentralized water source.
Uravu Labs is a Bengaluru-based water-tech company that specializes in producing high-quality, potable water extracted directly from atmospheric air. Their proprietary technology utilizes liquid salt-based desiccant materials to absorb moisture from the atmosphere. This absorbed moisture is then heated using renewable energy sources—such as solar, biomass, or waste heat—to release and condense pure water. By leveraging desiccant-based processes, the company’s systems operate efficiently across a wide range of humidity levels and consume significantly less energy than traditional, cooling-intensive atmospheric water generation methods. Their modular and scalable infrastructure is designed for diverse applications, including industrial manufacturing, data center cooling, and sustainable packaged beverage production.
This technology provides a critical solution to global water scarcity and the depletion of traditional groundwater resources. By offering a decentralized, climate-positive, and carbon-neutral water source, Uravu Labs enables customers in sectors such as hospitality, pharmaceuticals, and manufacturing to reduce their dependence on unreliable utility water and depleted ecosystems. The company has successfully demonstrated the viability of its solutions through pilot projects and commercial deployments, aiming to re-imagine water infrastructure by making it an abundant and renewable resource. Their approach has been recognized for its environmental impact, contributing to groundwater conservation and the reduction of single-use plastics.
