Pexpo's Vedant Padia on Water Bottles
Pexpo is a company that makes stainless steel water bottles in India.
Before Pexpo, most bottles in India were made in China and not designed for Indian needs.
Vedant Padia, the CEO, saw this problem and started Pexpo to make bottles specifically for Indian people.
At first, they made bottles for other brands, but now they sell their own products directly to customers.
They listen to what people want and make changes to their bottles based on feedback.
For example, they added protective bumpers to children's bottles and made sure replacement parts are easy to find.
Pexpo wants to make bottles that people are proud to carry, whether they're going to school, work, or traveling.
They believe bottles are not just for home but for everyday life.
Pexpo was founded in 2013 by Vedant Padia, with a 25-year family legacy in stainless steel manufacturing.
Initially focused on private-label manufacturing, Pexpo shifted to direct-to-consumer sales post-2020.
The company designs products based on real customer feedback, such as adding protective bumpers to children's bottles.
Pexpo's product range includes baby feeding bottles, school bottles, and thermoses for adults.
The brand aims to position water bottles as lifestyle products, not just home essentials.
