About Viva

Viva is the flavoured sparkling water S.M. Jaleel launched in 2006, the same year it introduced its Oasis premium still water, giving the company two positions in a water category it had not previously competed in. Lime is among its best-known variants and it features prominently in the photographs from the company's 2024 centenary campaign, which is the clearest published evidence that it is still an active part of the range rather than a discontinued line.
