About Vacay
What is Vacay?
What does the name "Vacay" mean?
It's a permission slip. To pause. To hydrate. To not feel guilty about slowing down. A vacation isn't always a flight and a hotel — sometimes it's 5 minutes between back-to-back everything. That's what Vacay is. Your everyday pause, in a bottle.
Who is Vacay for?
For the ones building something, studying something, or surviving something — who still want one honest moment of calm in their day. If you work hard and recover smart, if you're proud of being Indian in a way that's genuinely cool, if you'd rather manage stress than push through until you break — Vacay is for you.
How is Vacay different from energy drinks?
Energy drinks give you a spike and take it back with a crash. Vacay does the opposite. No caffeine. No artificial buzz. Just your body catching up with your brain. We're not the start — we're the sustain.
About Gond Katira
What is Gond Katira?
Gond Katira (Tragacanth Gum) is a natural resin that's been used in Indian homes for generations — your dadi probably soaked it every summer. When it absorbs water, it forms a cooling gel that regulates your body's internal temperature from within. That thandak feeling is not a feeling. It is science.
How much Gond Katira is actually in each bottle?
8 grams of real Gond Katira in every 200ml bottle. Not a trace amount for the label. Enough to actually make a difference.
What does Gond Katira do for the body?
Four things:
- Cools body temperature from within
- Supports gut health by easing acidity and digestion
- Retains water in your tissues for deeper hydration
- Supports skin and hair health over time
Your drink should do more than just quench.
Is Gond Katira safe for daily use?
Yes. It's been a staple in Indian households for centuries. It's natural, plant-based, and NABL lab tested in every batch we make.
The Drinks
What flavours does Vacay come in?
Three right now — each built for a different moment in your day:
- Tender Coconut (10 AM) — gentle, wholesome, gut-friendly morning reset
- Peach Chilli (3 PM) — bold, spicy, cuts through the afternoon slump
- Cool Cucumber (8 PM) — light, cooling, caffeine-free evening wind-down
Does Vacay have caffeine?
Zero. No caffeine across all three flavours. No spike, no crash, no 2am staring at the ceiling.
How much sugar is in each bottle?
Max 7g per bottle. Low sugar, but not tasteless. You shouldn't have to choose between the two.
Are there any artificial colours or flavours?
None. Zero artificial colour. Zero artificial flavour. Clean label, always.
Is Vacay suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, fully plant-based ingredients across all flavours.
Should I drink it cold?
Best served chilled. The cooling effect works from within regardless, but cold just makes it better.
