Mumbai, June, 28th,2023: Vaum is a unique beverage company that captures the calming sounds of nature in every bottle. Co-Founders and Cousins, Siddharth Saraf & Aakash Khaunte , was inspired by the Sanskrit term "Vaum/ Vahmn," which represents the peaceful sound of water. With this in mind, the brothers duo created India's first line of Quinine-Free botanical beverages.
Siddharth and Aakash's dissatisfaction with mixers that fail to complement the taste of high-quality spirits is a common issue among discerning drinkers. He recognizes that the right mixer can elevate the drinking experience, but finding one that does not overpower the spirit can be a challenge. “We were frustrated with mixers that failed to enhance the taste of high-quality spirits, instead detracting from their flavor. With Vaum Tonics’ range of sophisticated softs, you can enjoy a refreshing and satisfying drink without compromising your health or your taste buds.”
Vaum’s carefully crafted blends of natural ingredients provide a subtle and nuanced flavor profile that complements, rather than overpowers, your favorite spirits. Whether you're sipping a gin and tonic , Rum or a vodka , Vaum will elevate your drinking experience to new heights.
Vaum stands out from the crowd with their unwavering commitment to using only the finest ingredients. Their flavors are sourced from top European flavor houses, ensuring that every sip is bursting with authentic, high-quality taste. "We've partnered with Hayley Troup and Ed Swete, two of the world's leading beverage innovators, to create seven distinct and memorable flavors that are produced in India with botanicals imported from Europe, blended & bottled with champagne-esque carbonation in Goa"

Leveraging Liquid Fusions' technical expertise and extensive experience, Vaum has developed unique recipes that they now exclusively own. The outcome is a collection of delectable, naturally flavored, and sophisticated softs that are ultra-low in calories.
India is currently experiencing a beverage revolution, reminiscent of the early 2000s in the United States.” says. “With consumers becoming increasingly adventurous in their taste preferences and seeking out high-quality international drinks, we have developed exceptional beverages in India that can be enjoyed by people all over India” he further adds.
Vaum offers two distinct product lines to cater to the diverse tastes of its customers. The first range, are Traditional Tonic Waters, comprises Classic Indian, Lite Indian (zero calorie), and Limone. These tonics are infused with quinine and boast a more conventional flavor profile.
The second range, Quinine Free Botanical Sparklers, is a novel offering in India. These dual-flavored botanical beverages can be savored as ready-to-drink sodas or used as mixers with any alcoholic spirit. Each flavor contains less than 30 calories per serving, which is approximately one-third of a serving of the usual sugar heavy sodas. The ‘Grapefruit- Rosemary’ and Mango-Fig Botanicals are two of the most popular flavors in this range. Other unique flavors in the botanical sparklers range are ‘Elderflower-Rosemary’ and ‘Cucumber-Mint’
With a focus on quality and innovation, Vaum has quickly established itself as a brand that is synonymous with excellence since launching its full blown operations just 14 months ago. One of their most notable accomplishments was their partnership with Hosa Siolim, a subsidiary of the Indian Accent group in Goa, to produce their bottled cocktails. In March 2023, Vaum collaborated with Impressario, the company that operates all the Socials in Mumbai, further cementing their position as a leading player in the industry. Moreover, Vaum has also partnered with the Campari group to participate in the Jan 2023 edition of the Gin Explorers Club in Mumbai. "These partnerships have led to other successful events across Mumbai, Delhi, and Bangalore, featuring Campari/Bulldog Gin,"
