A Visit to Bisleri's Iconic Mumbai Plant - My Experience and Key Learnings
Visiting the Bisleri Mumbai plant was an awesome experience as it’s the oldest and the most trusted brand when it comes to mineral water. I have always had immense trust in Bisleri when I had to buy a packed bottle of water for my little one, especially whenever we were travelling. So when I got the chance to visit the Mumbai plant, I was on cloud 9! I could gather so much of information from there which I could pass on to my fellow moms who’ve had so many queries regarding mineral water. I would love to share some of the knowledge I could gather from this fruitful visit.
Bisleri water is checked to ensure the absence of harmful chemicals and microbes by qualified staff in the plant’s lab, before it reaches the consumer. However, the water from domestic purifiers is not tested for such parameters.
It was great to see the water going through a 10-step purification process. Two steps of ozonisation are carried out to disinfect water. The water’s shelf life is increased to last for 6 months. There are 114 quality tests done to monitor and control the presence of micro-organisms and measure the concentration of ozone in water. In addition to all this, Bisleri bottles are fully recyclable.
Some of the experiences were incredible, like watching the making of the bottle using highly modernized equipment. Bisleri bottles are only blown on site to avoid any external contamination. The bottle is made using a preform that is fed into the mould, blown, and stretched to its size at 100 degrees Celsius. Blowing at such a high temperature ensures that any harmful bacteria, if at all present, is killed. Bisleri has also established a unique and highly reliable double ozonisation process. Ozone is at least 50 times more powerful and 3000 times faster than chlorination when it comes to killing bacteria and other microbes. Ozone is added to the water again to sustain the purity & quality of water. There is an RO process which removes unwanted salts from the water; however, this step
also eliminates essential minerals that are good for health. Therefore, a very critical step is taken wherein the right amount of vital minerals such as potassium and magnesium are added, making the water healthy and giving it a sweet taste. Bisleri ensures that even the smallest micron-particles (up to 0.45 microns in size) are removed from the water.
Let me also tell you about some of the benefits of ozonisation:
Strengthens your immune system
Kills bacteria and viruses on contact
Increases the oxygen levels of cells in the human body
Detoxifies the human body
Has anti-ageing properties and increases energy
Reduces acidity
Watching the labelling procedure was also a good experience as this was my first time being on a factory visit. Every bottle has a code printed stating the batch number, date, time, and manufacturing location. Stringent quality control checks are done for each and every batch so that Bisleri’s quality standards are met.
Here Are The 10 Steps of the Quality Process
1. Careful Collection
Collected water from rivers undergoes a quality control check at the source.
2. Ozonisation
Ozonisation is done to kill harmful bacteria.
3. Sand Filter
Unwanted solid particles of up to 30 microns in size are filtered.
4. Carbon Filter
This step helps to get rid of unwanted colour, odour, and harmful pesticides, if any, to ensure that quality standards are met.
5. Reverse Osmosis
Water then goes through Reverse Osmosis, commonly known as RO, a purification technology that removes soluble solids from water. However, the challenge is that while it does remove unwanted particles from the water, it also eliminates minerals in the process.
6. Mineralisation
Magnesium, an essential mineral to maintain bone health and heart health, is added to the water.
7. Micron-Filtration
Micron-filtration is the second last stage of water purification.
8. Re-Ozonisation
Drinking ozonated water is known to increase oxygen levels in the body, thus, helping to improve energy levels and boosting the immune system.
9. Careful Bottling
Bottles go through ozonisation again, to ensure that highest safety standards are met.
10. Final Quality Control
Every batch of bottles is checked so that Bisleri’s quality standards are met.
I was lucky enough to take my son to see this process. He was quite excited. All the mothers that visited the plant along with their kids also had an awesome time;the kids had some fun sessions in the crèche or lounge area where they coloured, watched TV, and were gifted a cute camel soft toy and a puzzle.
I’m quite happy with Bisleri. Now, you too can get the guarantee of purity in every drop with Bisleri Mineral Water original bottled water . Because, har maa janti hai #HarPaaniKiBottleBisleriNahi! I am assured now that Bisleri is the right choice for Veer.

5 Diet Sins You are Committing Daily!
A sedentary lifestyle can cause many disruptions in life. Couple it with poor eating choices and you have bad habits that cause weight gain. Dump these bad habits right away and be on the road to getting healthy and trim again.
You get up in the morning, resolving to start the day by eating healthy and going on that long-thought of diet. You start off by having a little breakfast and leaving for work. By the time you finish two meetings and three presentations, you're so tired that you grab that burger without a second thought. Beware, this is one of those habits that may lead to weight gain! Stay away from the sins of dieting to make shedding those pounds easier.
Top Reasons You are Not Losing Weight
1. Breakfast Not Being Made The King
You may start your day on a glass of juice or skip even that entirely if you think breakfast is not an important meal. But this is one reason - in fact, it is one of the most common diet mistakes, that will result in you not losing weight. Skipping breakfast means you'll be starving by lunchtime and tempted to eat too much. This will only add to weight gain as the excess food gets stored as fat.
2. Substituting Healthy Foods for Artificial Stuff
For some women, losing weight means means drinking soups and juices; and eating processed calorie-free food items. While that is great, stay away from so-called 'health foods' that claim to substitute sugar, salt and oil with other ingredients. Ditching the real stuff for ready-to-eat soups and packaged items does more harm than good; it is in fact one of the biggest reasons of not losing weight. These items contain harmful additives that whole veggies and fruits don't.
3. Not Having Enough Complex Carbs
Carbohydrates is an important component of food and does aid in weight loss. Look for complex carbs to include in your diet. These are abundant in foods like pasta, whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Eat them with enough proteins, vitamins and minerals so your body gets the nutrients it needs.
4. Wrong Exercise-to-Eating Ratio
This is one of the most common and yet oft neglected reasons for not losing weight. Exercise goes hand-in-hand with weight loss. If you want the best results, working out and following a healthy diet puts you on the correct path to losing weight. Quit or at least reduce bad habits like smoking, a sedentary lifestyle and stressing out. Eat according to how much fat you burn when working out. Don't binge eat or eat double and triple helpings of food thinking you're restoring what you lost during exercise.
5. Eating After 7 PM and Over-Eating
The body's metabolism works according to the cycle of the sun. This means that your metabolism works at its best capacity early in the morning and dwindles with sundown. A common bad habit that restricts weight loss is to eat late and eat a lot. Try to have an early dinner even if 7 PM sounds impossible, so your food is digested well before you get to bed.
Committing diet sins is common especially when you're stretched for time and have kids and family clamnouring for attention. But correcting these sins and moving forward is the key to losing weight. After all, there are no short cuts in life and long routes hold many delights! So make a goal of curbing your diet mistakes - the sooner you do this, the sooner you’ll see results. Read more

A. Typically, your bump becomes noticeable during your second trimester. Between 16-20 weeks, your body will start showing your baby's growth. For some women, their bump may not be noticeable until the end of the second trimester and even into the third trimester. The second trimester starts in the fourth month.
