Less water vs. wheat
Increasing demand for "clean label" snacks and functional foods that traditional FMCG struggles to supply at scale.
Millet farmers lack direct market linkages to high-value industrial manufacturing, leading to low crop realization.
Brands face high R&D costs and manufacturing complexity when switching from corn/wheat to ancient grains like millets.
Rootus Foods was founded with a simple belief: the future of food should be healthier, more sustainable, and accessible to everyone.
By combining food innovation with scalable manufacturing, the founders set out to create a platform that enables brands to build the next generation of food products powered by sustainable grains.
I founded Rootus Foods with a simple, heartfelt belief: that our future depends on how well we respect our roots. My vision was never just to build a company, but to create a bridge between the quiet wisdom of traditional agriculture and the fast-paced world of modern food innovation.
For me, this journey is about integrity. I am focused on building a platform that doesn’t just manufacture products, but empowers brands to launch better, more meaningful alternatives while creating real value for the entire food ecosystem.
By transforming ancient grains into innovative formats, we are ensuring that heritage and health have a permanent place at the modern table. I believe that when we remain deeply rooted in our purpose, there is no limit to how far we can grow together.
My story began in the fields, rooted in a deep respect for the farming community and the land that sustains us. Even as I navigated the complexities of the IT world and built my career in technology and construction, that love for the soil never left me.
It taught me that whether you are growing a crop or a company, the foundation—the roots—must be strong. Today, as a multi-sector entrepreneur, I’ve found a way to bring those two worlds together.
I don’t just believe in the ideology of my partner, Meher Satish; I trust it completely. His vision for a better food ecosystem is the heart of Rootus, and I am dedicated to supporting that mission with everything I have.
I lead with my heart as much as my head, blending technical and operational expertise with a genuine passion for the people who feed the world. For me, this isn’t just business—it’s a commitment to bridging the gap between technical excellence and human connection.
With a background rooted in the discipline of the Indian Air Force and the strategic precision of the banking sector, I have always believed that great visions require a solid financial foundation.
My journey with Rootus Foods began years ago when I first connected with Meher’s ideology—a vision I believed in so strongly that I committed to ensuring its growth through strategic capital and government-aligned projects.
Today, I leverage my experience in finance and large-scale project management to build the bridges necessary for our expansion. My role is to ensure that while Meher and Ravi innovate and operate, the resources required to scale our global mission are always secure, sustainable, and aligned with long-term impact.

We believe that true innovation begins with the dignity of the farmer. Through our strategic partnership with the WASSAN NGO, we ensure that every grain of our millet is sourced with integrity. By bridging the gap between traditional fields and modern markets, we guarantee that our farmers receive the Minimum Support Price (MSP) they deserve. For us, empowering the farming community isn't just a policy — it’s an honoring of our heritage and a commitment to those who feed the world.
