Aquatein, India’s trailblazing protein water brand, just raised the bar with the launch of the country’s first Collagen Water – and it didn’t do it quietly. The big reveal happened on July 20, 2025, with a high-energy Hydrave – a hydration and wellness rave – hosted at Keiba x All Saints, Mumbai. In attendance were Bollywood fitness icon and brand ambassador Suniel Shetty, along with Aquatein’s young co-founders Ananth Prabhala and Mitisha Mehta, all celebrating a bold leap in functional wellness.
The Collagen Water is designed for today’s fast-moving, wellness-conscious lifestyle. Each 300mL bottle delivers 5000mg Collagen, 400mg Glutathione, and 100mg Nutroxsun, helping improve skin hydration, joint health, antioxidant levels, and even UV protection – making it a beauty and wellness boost in a bottle.
What makes it even more refreshing? It’s made from vegetarian collagen, avoiding the usual marine odour. It’s sugar-free, low on calories (just 30 kcal), and available in four bold flavours, catering to everyone from gym-goers to globetrotters.
Aquatein is pushing the boundaries of hydration with this launch and promises more innovations soon. "This isn't just about looking good - it's about living well," said co-founder Ananth Prabhala. His partner Mitisha Mehta added, "We wanted the launch to feel like the product – energized, exciting, and full of life."
Suniel Shetty, who’s long championed healthy living, shared his enthusiasm:"Aquatein is bringing science and lifestyle together like never before. This isn't just innovation—it’s evolution."
The Hydrave wasn’t just a party—it was a full-blown movement. Influencers, music lovers, and fitness buffs turned out in style, vibing with the beats and brand experiences that reflected Aquatein’s youthful, health-first DNA.
With exports already reaching the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait, Aquatein is gearing up for global expansion and leading India’s next wave of functional hydration.
