  Andaz Delhi teams up with WaterTech startup, Swajal WaterCube

  This partnership will enable Andaz Delhi to provide healthy alkaline mineralised water in sustainable glass bottles.

  Further to strengthen its sustainability commitments and initiatives, Andaz Delhi has adopted sustainable glass water bottles, replacing plastic water bottles for their rooms. It is estimated that this move will save about 145 tones of plastic waste and 435 tones of carbon emissions over the next five years. This is the same amount of energy required to run a 60 watt light bulb for 7,384 years. To initiate the same, Andaz Delhi has joined hands with the technology partner, Swajal WaterCube, a WaterTech startup based out of Gurgaon, India. 

  This partnership will enable Andaz Delhi to provide healthy alkaline mineralised water in sustainable glass bottles. 

  “We have an in-house DSIR accredited R&D lab with multiple patents. We are a technology first startup in water,” says Dr. Vibha Tripathi, IIT alumnus and CEO of Swajal. She further added, “We have worked on innovation and research specifically designed to work for the hospitality segment. For example, there is an inbuilt inventory management system and operations management system. WaterCube is the only system in the world that is designed specifically for hotel glass water bottles for end-to-end automated solutions.”

  Each glass water bottle works on Zero-Mile Water™ concept where glass bottles are recirculated within the hotel premises. This drastically reduces carbon footprint by removing the need to transport these bottles back and forth from a central plant. With Zero-Mile Water, the water is carbon-free and plastic-free, thereby delivering only high quality, ultra-premium alkaline mineralised water.

  Swajal WaterCube has a proprietary IoT platform that monitors the quality of each drop of water in real time. The IoT platform allows the system to be monitored remotely. Andaz Delhi is the first hotel to run Swajal WaterCube’s latest GenX5 platform that allows for a completely automated system where each bottle is sanitised, washed, sterilised and filled. With GenX5 Hospitality solution, Swajal WaterCube aims to bring hyper-automation and deep Tech, like AI, into the water segment worldwide.
