Air purifier’s is the first product being introduced under this brand. Powered by Puri 5 technology, a five stage filtration process in every model irrespective of the price band, ‘moonbow’ is an uniquely different product that the Indian consumer has not yet experienced.

Entering the air purifier category, is based on market prospect which is positive, driven by the environmental situation and consumer demand to live smart and breathe fresh. As for the decision on adding another brand to our brand portfolio, we felt the need to differentiate within our product offerings as well, since ‘moonbow’ will focus on new products related to well-being & freshness. It is a very strategic assessment of the company’s vision for the future as we target 5% market share in the first year of operation. We are aiming to be among top two in 3 years ’, he added.
