A Startup from IIT Bombay
We didn't set out
to build a bottle.
We set out to fix
a silent problem.
Our founder was grinding through 14-hour days, doing everything right — except drinking water. Sipwise exists because the reminder has to live where the water lives.

The origin
A personal problem
with no real solution.
I tried every app, every alarm, every sticky note. None of it worked — because none of it was in the right place at the right moment.
Sipwise was founded with a bold and transformative vision: to revolutionise the way people think about hydration, wellness, and sustainability. From the beginning, we set out to go beyond creating just another product―we aimed to build a venture that leaves a lasting impact on individual well-being, communities, and the planet.
Born out of the vibrant innovation ecosystem of IIT Bombay, Sipwise has always been more than a business. It’s a mission-led initiative built on the belief that small, thoughtful changes in daily habits―like staying properly hydrated―can lead to meaningful improvements in health, productivity, and environmental impact.
OUR MISSION IS TO CHANGE THE WAY MOST PEOPLE (DON'T) DRINK WATER

Put the reminder where the water is. Make it impossible to miss. Everything else is just noise.
Pavan Kale — Founder, Sipwise
The journey
From a personal problem
to a real solution.
Every great product starts with a problem that's too real to ignore.
The beginning
The problem becomes impossible to ignore
Headaches. Brain fog. That afternoon slump everyone blames on sleep. Turns out it was dehydration — every single day.
The idea
One question changes everything
What if the reminder lived on the bottle itself? Not your phone. Not your watch.
The insight
The build
First prototype. First glow.
Months of prototyping. Then — the first bottle glowed. I can't ignore that. It's right there.
First working prototype
The launch
Real product. Real people. Real results.
Sipwise went live. The first customers came back and said it was working. That was everything.
Launched
The validation
The market noticed
Independent labs. Industry attention. Established brands asking questions.

Right now
Growing — and just getting started
Thousands of people across India drinking more water every day.

What we believe
Four beliefs that shape
every decision we make.
01
Environment over willpower
Habits don't fail because people are weak. They fail because their environment doesn't support the behaviour. We design the environment — the bottle — so that staying hydrated requires zero effort.
02
The problem first, always
We start with the frustration, not the feature. Every product decision traces back to a specific way people fail at hydration.
03
Made for India
Most wellness technology is designed for Western climates and wallets. Sipwise is built for India — the heat, the water quality, the lifestyle.
04
Prove it before you build it
We don't build because something sounds exciting. We build when demand is confirmed. Every new product starts with evidence — not assumption.
Where we're going
The bottle is just
the beginning.
Smart hydration is a category, not a product. Sipwise is building the brand, the technology, and the ecosystem that will define it in India.
Now
Build the category
Establish Sipwise as the go-to smart hydration brand in India. Prove the product works, the business works, and grow a community of people who actually drink more water.
Next
Expand what smart hydration means
Move beyond the bottle into contexts where hydration matters most — healthcare, fitness, corporate wellness.
Future
Own the infrastructure
Sipwise technology inside more products, more spaces, more lives. A platform — not just a brand.
Be part of something
that's just getting started.
Whether you're a customer who wants to drink more water, a business looking for a gift that lasts, or simply someone who believes good habits start with the right environment — welcome.
