Founders Note

Rooted in childhood memories, driven by purpose, I envision Araku Aroma as a beacon of hope and empowerment for tribal communities. Growing up, my grandfather's stories about Araku Valley's breathtaking natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and resilient tribal communities captivated me. As I explored the valley, I was drawn to its enchanting landscapes and warm people. My experiences with dry land farming and affection for nature deepened my connection.


Through my journey with farmer producer organizations, I recognized the potential to make a meaningful impact. As Founder and CEO of Araku Aroma, I aim to create a brand that adds value to coffee beans while ensuring fair prices for farmers, supporting their livelihoods. By registering Araku Aroma as a trademark in the USA, we've become the first company to achieve this milestone for Indian coffee, marking a significant step towards sharing Araku's tribal coffee story globally.


At Araku Aroma, we're committed to supporting tribal farmers through fair trade practices, preserving and promoting Araku Valley's cultural heritage, delivering high-quality coffee experiences worldwide, and empowering local communities through sustainable business practices. Our vision is to carry the rich tribal legacy of Araku Valley to the world, showcasing unique flavors and aromas, while making a positive impact on the lives of our farmers and their communities.
