UBreathe, a biotech startup that develops plant-based air purifiers, secured a deal of $181,000 from Emcure Pharmaceuticals head Namita Thapar on Shark Tank India.
Founded by Sanjay Maurya, Akhil Gupta, Akshay Goyal, and Inderjeet Rao in 2018, UBreathe’s proprietary design boosts a plant’s natural process of removing pollutants from the air with improved soil breathability.
Unlike mechanical purifiers that filter only dust pollution and are highly toxic to the environment, their solution captures all the contaminants in the air.
The product is tested and certified by NABL Labs and has been reviewed and recommended by the faculty of AIIMS Delhi.
“We are truly thrilled to have the opportunity to work with Namita Thapar and to be able to bring UBreathe to a wider audience in India and abroad. Namita’s extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry gives her an in-depth understanding of the time and effort necessary to develop a product like UBreathe,” Sanjay Maurya, CEO and Co-founder of UBreathe, said.
“For the last several years, we have had the privilege of making a real difference in the lives of 1,000+ customers. Over the next couple of months, we will be taking up marquee projects with offices and private and public schools to reach out to more people,” he added.
