About

Prana Labs builds breathwork that runs off the watch someone already owns. Vayu, its flagship app, reads Apple Watch sensors and answers with haptic pulses, pacing a breathing session against the user's own rhythm rather than a fixed count, with heart-rate variability as the measure of whether it worked. The company sets that against Pranayam, the Indian breathing practice, and Western clinical breathwork. In November 2025 it announced $150,000 in growth funding through national innovation partners, earmarked for its biofeedback models, corporate-wellness and healthcare partnerships, and academic research on HRV and stress. Deepali Raiththa is co-founder and chief design officer; Dhruv Adhia, who took the TechTO stage in 2017 for the holographic-display company H+ Technology, is the other co-founder.
