Vayu is a science-guided breathwork app using Apple Watch biometrics to help calm and strengthen the nervous system.

Founded by Deepali Raiththa and Dhruv Adhia, Prana Labs blends neuroscience, haptic design, and AI personalization to create embodied wellness experiences. Its flagship app, Vayu, uses Apple Watch sensors and haptic feedback to guide users through adaptive breathing sessions that sync with their body’s natural rhythms, helping reduce stress and enhance heart rate variability (HRV).

“This support validates our vision to make mindfulness accessible, not aspirational,” said Deepali Raiththa, Co-Founder and Chief Design Officer. “Through micro-habit building and haptic-guided breathwork, Vayu helps people find stillness in motion, even in the busiest moments of their day.”

With this milestone, Prana Labs will:

• Advance its AI-driven biofeedback technology to personalize wellness experiences.
• Expand user growth through corporate wellness and healthcare partnerships.
• Strengthen academic research collaborations on HRV, stress reduction, and cognitive health.

“Vayu represents a new kind of mindfulness, where technology doesn’t distract but restores,” said Dhruv Adhia, Co-Founder and Business Advisor. “This round allows us to scale our vision of breathing technology that truly adapts to the human experience.”
