Nourishing India with Pure, Plant-Based Goodness
Founded in Mumbai over two decades ago, Shakahari Foods India Ltd. embarked on a mission rooted in the rich vegetarian heritage of India. We saw a growing need for high-quality, reliable, and innovative plant-based food solutions – not just for households, but for businesses aiming to meet the evolving demands of health-conscious consumers. What began as a small lentil processing unit has blossomed into a comprehensive food processing and distribution powerhouse. Our journey has been one of continuous learning, adaptation, and unwavering dedication to excellence. We invested early in state-of-the-art processing technology and stringent quality control measures, understanding that trust is built on consistency.
Our commitment extends beyond just our products; it encompasses our entire value chain. We believe in forging strong, ethical partnerships with farmers across Maharashtra and neighboring states, ensuring fair prices and promoting sustainable agricultural practices. This focus on sourcing allows us to guarantee the purity and quality of our raw materials. Inside our facilities, hygiene and safety are paramount, adhering to international standards. Our team, a blend of experienced food technologists and passionate innovators, constantly explores new product development, particularly in the exciting realm of plant-based meat alternatives and convenient frozen meals that retain authentic Indian flavours.
Our Mission: To provide delicious, healthy, convenient, and accessible vegetarian and vegan food options that nourish individuals, support communities, and respect the delicate balance of our planet. We strive to be a catalyst for positive dietary choices by making plant-based eating both easy and enjoyable.
Our Vision: To be universally recognized as the most trusted, innovative, and sustainable provider of plant-based food solutions originating from India, enriching lives globally through the goodness of vegetarian cuisine.
Comprehensive, high-quality solutions meticulously designed to meet your diverse vegetarian and vegan food requirements, backed by reliability and expertise.
Our advanced facilities employ cutting-edge technology for cleaning, de-hulling, sorting, grading, and polishing a wide array of Indian lentils (dals) and pulses. We ensure uniform size, colour, and purity, meeting the strictest quality standards for retail packaging, bulk supply to restaurants, and ingredient use. Consistency is guaranteed batch after batch.
Leveraging food science and culinary expertise, we create innovative and delicious plant-based meat substitutes. From textured vegetable protein (TVP) mimics to ready-to-cook vegan patties, sausages, and mince, our products offer excellent texture and flavour, catering to the growing demand for meat-free options in both retail and foodservice sectors across India.
Taste the convenience without compromising on authenticity. Our range of frozen vegetarian meals includes popular Indian dishes like Palak Paneer, Dal Makhani, Vegetable Biryani, and more. Prepared using traditional recipes and high-quality ingredients, then blast-frozen to lock in freshness and flavour, offering a quick, wholesome meal solution.
Our dedicated logistics network ensures reliable and timely delivery of ambient, chilled, and frozen vegetarian products across Maharashtra and key metropolitan areas in India. We manage the cold chain meticulously, guaranteeing product integrity from our warehouse to your shelves or kitchen, serving supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and caterers.
We bridge the gap between unique Indian vegetarian ingredients and the global market. Specializing in the export of items like besan (gram flour), unique lentil varieties, dehydrated vegetables, and custom spice blends, we handle all necessary documentation, quality certifications, and logistics for seamless international trade, ensuring compliance and quality.
Partner with us to bring your own brand of vegetarian or vegan food products to life. We offer comprehensive private label services, from recipe development and ingredient sourcing to processing, packaging design consultation, and final production, all under strict confidentiality and quality control agreements.
