Our Values

  • Community

    Six thousand hill-region farmers sell directly here — no middleman taking a cut of a harvest they grew themselves.

  • Curiosity

    Honey, ghee, pickles, lentils under one roof — a product range built by asking what else a smallholder farm's harvest could become before it hit a shelf.

  • Partnership

    Three co-founders, one of whom already scaled a food brand once at Hilife — this isn't a first attempt at the model.

  • Global Vision

    Every imported lentil or pulse Pahadi displaces on a Nepali shelf is a small dent in the country's food-import bill.

Milestones

  • 2023
