About DrinkPrime

DrinkPrime was started to solve a personal problem - How do we get access to clean, safe, and healthy drinking water? Seems simple, but here’s what we found. First, most of the water you get in plastic cans isn’t fit for drinking. Second, less than 5% of Indians actually own a water purifier! That’s when we realised this was not just a personal problem but an opportunity to help more people. It’s been five years since we started on this journey. Today, more than 1 lakh users in 7 cities depend on us to access clean and safe drinking water!
