Packed with nutrition and delectable flavours – it’ll be your new partner in the kitchen as you prepare healthy and tasty meals for your family!”
On the occasion, its Founder-CEO Vamsi Udayagiri said, “Working in rural India for more than a decade, we discovered the consumer need for quality and affordable spices.

The idea is to elevate the earning potential of the farmers without any additional cost.
