Uravu Labs is a pioneering cleantech company operating at the intersection of environmental services and deep technology, Uravu Labs specializes in developing scalable, sustainable water solutions that extract high-quality drinking water directly from atmospheric moisture using renewable energy sources.
Uravu Labs’ core offering is its “Water FromAir” solution, which produces pure water while conserving groundwater and minimizing single-use plastic waste by utilizing glass bottles and a closed-loop packaging system. The company’s technology infrastructure integrates material development, manufacturing, operations, and software to deliver a future-ready water infrastructure.
Uravu Labs operates on two main business models, tailored to maximize reach and recurring revenue:

Packaged Water Sales: Recurring revenue from the sale and delivery of premium, sustainable bottled water to hospitality and beverage clients.
Asset Sales & Maintenance: One-time revenue from equipment sales, with ongoing income from maintenance contracts.
