Clean Tech Pioneer AirOK Kickstarts ‘Claim Your Right to Clean Air’ Campaign

AirOK, a pioneer in clean air technology in India and manufacturer of indigenous cutting-edge air purifiers, has launched ‘Claim Your Right to Clean Air’, an awareness campaign with a mission to provide purified air to all individuals. With Clean Air for Every Individual as their motto, they plan to raise awareness about the harmful effects of pollution and how one can save themselves.

The campaign enables individuals to become an active part of the clean air mission through crowd funding, being carried out by AirOK in association with Tykeinvest with an objective to raise funding. Stating that the sum gathered would be utilized towards clean energy, AirOK Co-Founder and CEO V Deekshith Vara Prasad said, “The campaign intends to inspire people who feel that clean air is a right, not just a need for every individual, to come forward and do their bit. As the contribution would aid R&D into clean energy, we encourage corporate and industries too to walk together with us in the mission to ensure pure air for all Indians.”

AirOK’s Claim Your Right to Clean air campaign comes just days ahead of that time of the year when the air is laden with pollutants, turning the sky murky grey and forcing us to breathe in an air that is equivalent to smoking 10 cigarettes. Pointing that even the indoors have hazardous air. AirOK co-founder said, Air pollution is something that can easily be misunderstood by many people, the only reason it is invisible. water is something visible and even a particle floating over surfaces will make us not to drink and raises quality issues, but just imagine how many times have you had to breathe vehicle fumes, construction site dust particles, particles that arise while in our offices or home cleaning. I’m sure many times even we don’t remember it. Air is the most important element because without it you only have 3 minutes to live. You literally remove years from your life when pollution is inhaled.We aim to provide people tools & options that can minimize health hazards under these circumstances.”

The campaign also comes alongside the brand’s foray into the B2C space, as it has till now majorly carried out B2B operations. AirOK, which was incubated by IIT Chennai a few years ago, offers a wide range of state-of-the-art air purifiers, powered with its patented Efficient Granular Adsorbent Particulate Arrester (EGAPA) technology. The purifiers are designed to reduce CO2 levels in the air, can arrest several acidic gases and Particulate Matter up to 0.1 microns, bacterial contamination and air borne fungal infections too.

Chennai Startup AirOK Launches India’s 1st Locally Developed Smart Air Purifier

CHennai-based startup AirOK Technologies has launched India’s first indigenously developed smart air purifier ‘Vistar’ at Chennai on Saturday. Equipped with Wi-Fi and touch interface, the purifier has filter that is not only relatively more efficient but also last longer than other air purifiers.

Founded in 2014 by IIT-Madras alumni Deekshith Vara Prasad, Yasa Pavan Reddy and Sravan Krishna, the startup did 2 years of ground reality research and development to come up with hexagonal dual stratified filtering technology called - EGAPA (Efficient Granular Adsorbent Particulate Arrester) which can filter pollutants including air suspended particulate matter (SPM) up to 0.3 microns along with VOC`s, microbes, fungus, Pet dander’s and even gaseous substances.

The purifier named as 'Vistar 550' has coverage area of 550 square feet and will be priced at around Rs 20,000. Its indigenously developed filter will have a life of about one year, which is twice that of the air purifiers currently available in the market that typically need filter-replacecment once every 3-4 months.

The purifier has been validated as positive by laboratory and field tests conducted at Shriram Institute for Industrial Research, Bengaluru and field trials by a Children specialty hospital in Chennai.

Incubated at IIT-Madras incubation cell, AirOK got ₹5 lakh seed fund from the incubation cell, which helped them test and validate the filter.

The startup had even caught the attention of Gurgaon-based SAR Group, the makers of water purifiers under Livpure brand, which then invested about ₹12 crore in AirOK, late last year. AirOK has licensed its residential segment product to SAR Group, which will be the distribution partner for it's retail air-purifier product.

The startup can manufacture up to 30 units per day currently and can increase the production capacity to 1,000 without any major additional investment.

The startup is currently targeting institutional segment which includes hospitals, hospitality, commercial real estate, food processing and manufacturing in the initial phase.

Additionally, the startup is also working on a pipeline of products in the air pollution segment in association with one of the country’s oldest and largest conglomerate, which the startup didn't disclosed. The pipeline includes purifiers for cars and kitchens. It is also indigenously working on solutions for issues such as ambient air pollution.

An another startup in Cleantech segment is Bonphul Air Products, Delhi-based product startup which makes OxyMax, which the startup claims as India's first oxygen optimizer that increases the oxygen level in the indoor air from its current level to 21%, creating an environment of freshness and vigour. Bonphul has recently raised ₹2 Crore in an Angel Investment Round from Rx Infotech and Karmesh Global Technologies.

The indoor air purifier industry is growing at 45% CAGR (compounded annual growth rate), but experts believe that with ever increasing pollution in Indian cities the growth will increase to 55-60% CAGR in the next four years.
