A Founder’s Journal
When this brand was born in a small kitchen in 2019, it didn’t begin as a business idea.
It began with a simple question:
“Why is it so hard to find clean, tasty food for our families?”
Every day brought the same choice:
Easy convenience filled with junk…
or healthy options that tasted like a compromise.
So one day, the decision was made:
“If no one is making it the right way, then I will.”
And that is how this journey began —
with a bowl, a whisk, a stubborn belief in honest food,
and absolutely no idea of how difficult the road would be.
🌾 The Honest Truth: Clean Food Is Not Easy to Build
People assume millet products are simple.
“They’re healthy,” they say.
“They should sell easily,” they think.
Reality is different.
When you commit to clean-label food —
No shortcuts
No preservatives
No artificial flavors
No fillers
No stabilizers
— you instantly choose the hardest and slowest path.
Because the market is full of:
✔️ Cheaper mixes
✔️ Flashy marketing
✔️ Unrealistic claims
✔️ Products that taste good only because they are full of sugar and stabilizers
But when you choose honesty, everything becomes tougher:
Raw materials cost more
R&D takes months
Shelf life becomes tricky
Consistency is a challenge
Manufacturers look at you like you’re asking for the impossible
And almost everyone says, “Thoda compromise kar lo. That’s how the industry works.”
And every time the word “compromise” appears, something inside says “no.”
🌿 The Real Struggle Nobody Talks About
1. The world loves the idea of health — until it tastes different.
Everyone wants healthy food…
until the pancake isn’t as fluffy as maida,
or the cookie isn’t as sweet as sugar-loaded brands.
Building honest food means constantly managing:
Taste → Health → Price → Realistic expectations
2. Competing with big brands is like fighting a giant with a spoon.
Big brands have unlimited teams and budgets.
A small honest brand has just one thing:
A reason.
A purpose.
A heartbeat.
3. Small brands aren’t allowed to make mistakes.
One courier issue
One packaging wrinkle
One broken cookie
…and customers question everything.
Meanwhile, big brands are forgiven instantly.
4. Every new product launch feels like a personal gamble.
Will people like it?
Will they give it a chance?
Will it reach the right homes?
Will it get lost in the noise?
You never really know.
You make it anyway.
You hope.
You learn.
You move.
But Some Moments Make It All Worth It
The message that says:
“My kid finally ate something healthy without fuss.”
The DM that reads:
“Your products are now a part of our daily routine.”
A clean plate in a lunchbox.
A photo someone sent with pride.
A single review that says,
“Please don’t ever stop making this.”
These moments rebuild all the courage that the struggle takes away.
There are late nights filled with doubt,
days packed with work,
and weeks where nothing goes as planned —
but not once does the passion dim.
Because honesty may be slow.
Honesty may be expensive.
Honesty may lose the race in the short term.
But honesty builds trust.
And trust builds brands that stay.
💛 What This Journey Has Taught Me
1. Let your work speak louder than opinions.
Every product is your voice.
2. You don’t need the whole world. You just need the right audience.
People who understand clean food.
3. Slow growth is not failure. Slow growth is strong growth.
4. Story matters. Intention matters. Truth matters.
People buy authenticity.
5. Never compromise on the core.
The world has enough compromise.
Let honest food remain honest.
🌟 Why This Brand Still Stands Today
Because the easy path was never chosen.
Because the brand continues to:
✔️ choose millets over maida
✔️ choose clean-label ingredients
✔️ choose taste without junk
✔️ choose transparency over fancy claims
✔️ choose integrity over shortcuts
This brand stands because it is built on conviction — not convenience.
And if you’re reading this, you’re part of the story.
Part of a tiny-but-mighty movement.
A movement built grain by grain, home by home, heart by heart.
