The Drip Of Water

Style, personality, values — as Vedant Padia of Pexpo puts it, your bottle tells your story.

Water bottles have quietly evolved from being purely functional objects to becoming everyday companions that reflect personal habits, lifestyles, and values. Today, consumers expect more than just hydration — they look for durability, design, temperature performance, safety, and relevance to their specific needs. This shift has transformed the category from a commodity-driven market into one where thoughtful design and customer understanding matter deeply.

Building On A Manufacturing Legacy

Founded on a strong manufacturing legacy, Pexpos story begins well before branding or retail entered the picture. “We have been into manufacturing stainless steel as a family for the last 25 years — my father and his brothers,” says Vedant Padia, CEO, Pexpo. That deep-rooted experience in stainless steel manufacturing became the foundation for identifying a critical gap in the Indian market.

When Pexpo began its journey in 2013, stainless steel bottles sold in India were almost entirely imported. “All the bottles being sold in India were made in China,” Padia explains. “They were engineered for Western markets, and whatever was made for those countries was being supplied to India.” This meant that Indian consumers were using products not designed for their usage patterns, climate, or expectations.
