About Piyaau

Piyaau Beverages Private Limited is on a mission to change how India hydrates. We make natural mineral water sourced from the Giri Ganga River in the Himalayas, packed in 100% recyclable aluminium cans. No plastic. No compromise. Our water has a natural pH of 7.1-8 and is antioxidant-rich, UV-protected, and resealable for life on the move.

We are a purpose-driven brand built around sustainability, community, and clean hydration for all. A portion of every sale goes toward clean-water access, recycling education, and sustainable community programmes. We are growing fast and building a team that believes what we believe: that the choices we make every day shape the world we live in.
