Aquapeya: Our Name Is Our Identity - A Journey of Resilience, Purpose, and Innovation
VMPL New Delhi [India], June 10: In today's fast-evolving business world--where startups emerge and disappear overnight--Aquapeya stands tall as a symbol of resilience, integrity, and innovation. From its humble beginnings in 2018 to becoming a recognizable name in India's beverage landscape, the story of Aquapeya is not just about building a brand--it's about standing for something bigger. Aquapeya: Our Name Is Our Identity For the founders and their team, Aquapeya is more than just a name. It's their identity, their philosophy, and their promise to consumers. Inspired by the Latin word "Aqua" (meaning water), the name reflects values of purity, transparency, and essential truth. In a crowded industry filled with flashy packaging and marketing buzzwords, Aquapeya chooses to represent clarity, honesty, and trust. "We believe water is colorless, tasteless, and truthful. Our brand stands for those very qualities--unfiltered, pure, and without pretenses," says the founder. 2018: The Seed of an Idea The vision of Aquapeya took root in 2018. With a bold tagline--"All IN"--the team set out to redefine the beverage experience in India. But this wasn't just about launching a product. It was about building a brand grounded in sustainability, community engagement, and uncompromised quality. 2019: Establishing the Foundation The next year was all about setting up strong operational structures. Aquapeya focused on building reliable supply chains and distribution networks. Partnerships began to flourish, fueled by the belief that impactful growth is a collaborative journey. The brand gained traction in niche urban spaces and started to explore regional markets with cautious optimism. 2020-2021: Rising Through Crisis When the pandemic hit, Aquapeya adapted instead of retreating. With operations paused and consumer behavior rapidly shifting, the team pivoted toward digital outreach and community engagement. "We didn't just aim to sell--we wanted to serve," recalls a team member. This human-first approach helped the brand stay relevant and build deeper emotional connections with its audience. 2022: Expanding into Carbonated Drinks With growing brand awareness, 2022 marked Aquapeya's entry into the carbonated beverage segment. But this wasn't just a typical expansion--it was a reflection of creative growth. Unlike traditional fizzy drinks, Aquapeya offered cleaner, naturally flavored alternatives with minimalist branding. These products quickly resonated with younger, health-conscious consumers looking for something fresh and fun. 2023: Launch of Fruit-Based Beverages Aquapeya continued to evolve by introducing a line of fruit-based beverages in 2023. Focused on real ingredients and transparent labeling, the new segment struck a chord with Indian households. The tagline "Thirsty Trust" emerged, capturing the brand's dual commitment to satisfaction and sincerity. 2024: The Shark Tank Breakthrough In 2024, Aquapeya reached a defining moment--appearing on Shark Tank India. Their pitch was not just about investment; it was a powerful story of perseverance and purpose. The platform catapulted the brand into national consciousness, offering mentorship, funding, and widespread visibility. Audiences connected deeply with both the product and the vision. 2025: Legal Challenges and Reinvention Every success story faces a defining test. For Aquapeya, that moment came in March 2025 when a legal notice arrived from industry giant Bisleri, claiming copyright and color scheme infringement. But the team didn't back down. "Water has no color--so why should our labels?" became Aquapeya's powerful response and a rallying cry for creative freedom. By June 2025, the brand had fully reimagined its visual identity. The new look wasn't just cosmetic--it embodied a renewed commitment to originality, honesty, and bold independence. With fresh distribution strategies in place, Aquapeya regained consumer trust and market strength. Final Thoughts: A Brand Built on Spirit Aquapeya's story is more than a business case study--it's a testament to what purpose-driven entrepreneurship can achieve. Through every challenge and triumph, one core belief has remained: "Entrepreneurship is always about never giving up." As Aquapeya charts its path forward, its mission stays strong: to be a brand that not only quenches thirst but also nourishes trust, transparency, and authenticity in every drop. Join us on this journey--because just like water, Aquapeya believes in being pure, true, and unmistakably real.

Pimpri Chinchwad makes history as Maharashtra's first civic body to list Green Municipal Bonds on BSE
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 11 (ANI): In a major milestone for municipal climate financing in India, Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) on Tuesday successfully listed its Rs 200 crore Green Municipal Bonds on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), becoming the first civic body in Maharashtra to raise funds exclusively for sustainable mobility urban projects through this route. The bell-ringing ceremony held at the BSE in Mumbai witnessed an enthusiastic turnout, with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis terming PCMC's achievement as a proud moment for the state. Highlighting the growing importance of using market instruments for sustainability projects in urban governance, Chief Minister Fadnavis noted, 'As soon as the bond was issued, the base amount of Rs 100 crore was subscribed within the very first minute. This is not only a testament to the strength of PCMC's vision but also to the trust investors place in Maharashtra's governance. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been consistently encouraging urban bodies to raise resources through municipal bonds, and PCMC has taken the lead in this direction. The listing process is complex and requires high levels of diligence--I congratulate every official, institution and partner involved in making this happen.' Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Ajit Pawar were also present at the ceremony, which marked the official listing of the bonds, which were oversubscribed 5.13 times and received bids worth Rs 513 crore. These funds will be utilised for the Harit Setu project in Nigdi Pradhikaran and for the sustainable mobility development project from Gawalimatha to Indrayani Nagar Chowk on Telco Road - both key components of the city's long-term environment and climate strategy through the encouragement of the 15-Minute City Concept through Harit Setu. The project will also be amongst the first proof of concept of last- and first-mile connectivity for Metro Transport and BRTS Bus Transport through active mobility. PCMC Commissioner Shekhar Singh expressed gratitude to the investing community, stating, 'This is more than just a financial accomplishment--it's a bold step toward building a greener, smarter, and more resilient Pimpri Chinchwad. The investor confidence shown today is a strong endorsement of our direction. We are committed to using these funds not just for infrastructure but to promote green and climate-aligned urban development.' On this occasion, Chief Minister Fadnavis also felicitated Commissioner Shekhar Singh with a special listing memento presented on behalf of the Bombay Stock Exchange. Also present were MLCs Uma Khapre and Amit Gorkhe and MLAs Mahesh Landge and Shankar Jagtap, who lauded the city's initiative. Jagtap remarked that such financial tools could also be explored for broader social infrastructure in the future. Chief Secretary Sujata Saunik praised the move as a benchmark in urban innovation, saying, 'The enthusiastic response from investors clearly reflects the credibility of public institutions like PCMC. As urbanisation accelerates, sustainable growth must remain our priority--and PCMC's move is a model worth replicating.' Chief Secretary Sujata Sounik and senior officials including Urban Development Additional Chief Secretary UD-1 Aseem Gupta, Principal Secretary UD-2 KH Govindaraj, MCGM Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, NMMC Commissioner Kailash Shinde, KDMC Commissioner Abhinav Goyal, Bhiwandi Commissioner Anmol Sagar, Ulhasnagar Commissioner Manisha Awhale and Panvel Commissioner Mangesh Chitale were present at the event, along with PCMC Additional Commissioners Pradip Jambhale Patil and Trupti Sandbhor, Chief Accounts and Finance Officer Pravin Jain, Joint City Engineer Bapusaheb Gaikwad, Deputy Commissioner Anna Bodade, Executive Engineer Sunil Pawar, and Public Relations Officer Prafulla Puranik. The Bombay Stock Exchange was represented by its Managing Director Sundararaman Ramamurthy, who congratulated PCMC and outlined BSE's role in facilitating municipal bond transactions. Aditi Mittal, Managing Director of AK Capital Services Ltd., the transaction's merchant banker and advisor, also attended the ceremony. The Green Bonds, rated AA+ by both CRISIL and CARE, carry a competitive interest rate of 7.85 per cent. Repayments are secured through an escrow account backed by PCMC's Property Tax collections. The civic body's strong fiscal discipline and its alignment with national green goals enabled it to secure Rs 20 crore as an incentive from the Government of India for successfully executing this bond issue. With this landmark moment, PCMC has not only unlocked an innovative funding mechanism but also demonstrated how climate finance can be mainstreamed into local governance--setting an example for other cities across India to follow.
