Plant-based Air Purifier Startup

UBreathe secures a deal of ₹1.5 crore from Namita Thapar on Shark Tank

Shubham Singh is a proud alumnus of AKGEC (2012-16, Mechanical Engineer), who is on a mission to create innovative and sustainable solutions that mitigate air pollution problems. He currently heads the Products & Innovations domain at UBreathe. UBreathe, an IIT Ropar incubated, AKGEC alum led bio-tech startup that develops plant-based air purifiers, secured a deal of ₹1.5 crore from Namita Thapar on the popular television show Shark Tank.

UBreathe’s unique purifiers combine the natural air purifying capabilities of plants with modern technology. Their proprietary design boosts a plant’s natural process of removing pollutants from the air with improved soil breathability. Unlike mechanical purifiers that filter only dust pollution and are highly toxic to the environment, their solution captures all the contaminants in the air. The product is tested and certified by NABL Labs and has been reviewed and recommended by faculty of AIIMS Delhi.

Their research and development is backed by prestigious institutions such as IIT Ropar, CIIE.CO IIM Ahmedabad, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC), and the Nexus US Embassy Delhi. The company has filed 6 patents in India and Europe. Recently, UBreathe has taken on high-profile projects with the goal of making a larger social impact. These projects include air quality management initiatives with the UN House Delhi, the Government of Maharashtra, and public primary schools in Chennai.
