From metro stations and malls to parks and public offices, thousands of chilled mineral water bottles, sourced straight from the mountains of Dibba, Fujairah, will be up for grabs every day. The best part? It’s 100% free.

Water With a Purpose

“Our mission is simple,” says Abhinav Murali, Co-founder of Ourwatr.
“Hydration is a right, not a privilege.”

And Ourwatr means it. Each bottle isn’t just a thirst quencher—it’s a step toward social impact, community care, and sustainability. The company operates on a unique model where brands cover production and distribution costs in exchange for co-branded messaging. Think of it as hydration meets heart.

Quality You Can Trust

Every Ourwatr bottle proudly carries the Emirates Quality Mark (EQM), which means it’s held to the highest UAE and international standards. So when you grab a bottle, you know you’re drinking safe, clean, top-quality mineral water, approved by the country’s top authorities.

Why It Matters

In the UAE’s desert climate, access to clean water isn’t just a comfort, it’s critical, especially during the blazing summer months.

“In our desert climate, hydration isn’t just healthy; it’s life-saving,” adds co-founder Bharath Mohan. “Each bottle we provide is a small act of kindness toward our community.”

From construction workers and commuters to families and the elderly, this initiative is about equal access to hydration for everyone.

A Startup With Soul

Founded by three young entrepreneurs based in the UAE, Ourwatr was born from a simple but powerful realisation: why isn’t water free and accessible in a country where heat is a daily reality?

They turned that question into a purpose-driven business. And the impact doesn’t stop at hydration. For every bottle distributed, a portion is donated to local charities, turning a basic human need into an opportunity for giving back.

Built for a Better Tomorrow

Ourwatr is also aligned with the UAE Vision 2030, ticking the boxes for health, sustainability, and quality of life. The bottles are made from recyclable materials and support the country’s zero-waste goals.

“Sustainability isn’t just about less waste,” says Sharat Nair, the third co-founder. “It’s about creating lasting, meaningful change.”

The Bottom Line

This isn’t just water... It’s a movement. Ourwatr is changing the way we think about hydration, community, and environmental responsibility. By putting people and the planet first, the startup is proving that doing good can be built into every drop.

So next time you’re at the metro or walking through a park, look out for a chilled Ourwatr bottle. It’s free, fresh, and full of purpose.
