I graduated in 2019 from Christ University, Bangalore, and soon found myself wandering, backpacking, volunteering across Himachal, Uttarakhand, Karnataka & Goa. I volunteered at farms, hostels, home-stays, eco-retreats—immersing myself in different cultures, learning new skills, and absorbing the world in its rawest form.
But one experience stood out.
My time at Varanashi Organic Farms, near Mangalore, changed something in me. It was the first time I saw the impact of clean eating, physical labor, and community living. The rhythm of farm life, the way nature and effort intertwined—it left an imprint. By the end of my time there, something had changed—my body felt lighter, healthier, and more in tune with nature.
Little did I know then that this experience would shape everything I’d pursue in the years to come.
When the pandemic shut everything down, my travel came to an abrupt halt. I returned home and joined the family business, but it didn’t carry the spark—something was missing. Seeking an escape, I attempted CFA, but failure in the exam threw me into a deep period of uncertainty and chaos.
That’s when I turned to wellness—not as a business idea, but as a personal necessity. I became obsessed with sourcing the finest herbs, the purest oils, and the most authentic ingredients for myself. I began experimenting in my own home. My bathroom became a mini lab.
Then, something clicked. I traced everything back to the source—farmers. I realized my early memories at Varanashi Organic Farms were still alive inside me. I wasn’t just interested in wellness—I wanted to work with raw, untouched nature.
As my knowledge grew, I wanted to turn it into something tangible. I began sourcing organic Amla & Moringa, processing them into powders, and designing the branding.
But as I got deeper into it, I realized the market was flooded with similar products. Despite maintaining the highest quality, I didn’t have a strong differentiator.
I pivoted towards natural cosmetics & Ayurvedic oils—creating face masques, herbal body cleansers, hair oils, and nasya oils. The products were excellent, but I hit an unexpected roadblock. Government regulations for commercial production required:
The process would consume all my time and resources, turning me into a factory operator instead of a creator.
I didn’t want that. I wanted freedom & simplicity—not a bureaucratic maze.
I was already producing almond oil for my herbal formulations. I had:
That’s when it clicked—instead of dividing my energy across multiple products, why not go all in on creating the purest almond oil?
Unlike herbs and complex formulations, almond oil was pure, singular, and timeless. It didn’t need a complicated value proposition. It just needed to be the finest in its purest form.
So I shut down everything else and decided to focus entirely on almond oil.
With the start of 2025, I shifted my processing setup to my home’s drawing room, ensuring absolute hygiene and a homemade touch. Now I build something which feels personal and sacred. Every single bottle is crafted with intent, precision, and care.
And here I am today—completely immersed in the process of sourcing, crafting, and delivering the best almond oil possible.
This journey wasn’t planned. It evolved naturally. But when I look back, I see how every failure, every experiment, and every struggle led me here.
This is not just a business. It’s my devotion.
