About Us

IKAI Organic is a gastronomical chord between you and small town India, tucked away in nooks and crannies. After a while, it becomes more of an emotion, less of a brand. Food that has a touch of grandmotherly love – pure and protective. What it brings forth is tradition, love, wellness through sustainable means. We at Ikai, believe in fostering a community of like minded people, who believe that food can be grown and eaten sustainably and mindfully without exploiting the planet or the people. Our effort is to bring to you organic and natural products that are unadulterated, uncontaminated and are grown and packed with love.

We believe that the way forward is to produce locally by supporting and working with the people of the land, from locals who are tribals and natives, and thus uplifting them while enriching your eating lifestyle and habits.

Now a little story about how it all started. IKAI started with four friends who decided to take the road less taken. We wanted more, just like you, and ventured off into the beautiful Khasi hills of Meghalaya to start farming. Over time, we built a community which is one with nature and the locals. Indigenous farming techniques along with our own experiences is how this organic farming effort started off. This was something unique, something novel, something bold but what it was most was “something new”. It was a first step by a brand to bring the goodness of far flung places to your plates. The start of something that will unite India at a culinary level. Cherry-picked products, grown, curated with an endeavor to make farm to plate, a household concept.

We went from strength to strength with processing units, a larger community and hence decided to expand; which meant adding products to our kitty; right in the middle of the pandemic. This was the perfect time; people needed TLC through good, healthy, organic & natural food; and hence we realized that this was our calling, and the retail arm “IKAI” was born.

“IKAI” means “one,” the very first step in counting. But it goes beyond just a number. In Hindu philosophy, Ikai symbolizes a state of profound unity and interconnectedness that ties everything together. We believe this unity is what connects people and nature-reminding us that we all spring from, and return to, the same source. This is why Ikai, for us, is the joy of oneness between man and nature.

The generosity of the earth, air, water, numerous microorganisms, and the efforts of a spirited farmer all come together to bring you this. A collection of organic food products that embody purity and purpose. Every bite reflects our belief in healthy and organic food that nourishes both body and spirit.

 We bring to you organic and natural products grown and packed with love in three broad categories: Everyday Essentials, Curated Regional Specialties & Customized for Vitality.

What is our Customised for Vitality range. Why did we start this?

Who wants to see those lunchboxes coming back untouched? Our R&D team loves experimenting with ingredients to create products that deliver on both taste and nutrition. Our sprouted Khapli atta, for instance – it’s even more nutritious than regular Khapli atta, thanks to its lower anti-nutrient content. We’re dedicated to bringing you and your loved ones products that are customized for vitality. Our collection can also help you make gluten free Indian food for your family. 

So, ditch the old-school popcorn, and say hello to the exciting flavors and goodness of our Roasted Rock Salt Makhana and Jowar Puffs!

Curated Regional Specialties and why we started this range.

Sometimes, all you need to brighten your day is a simple, home-cooked meal that reminds you of your grandmother’s cooking. Most of us would love to recreate those cherished dishes, but often find it difficult to source the authentic ingredients. That’s where Ikai steps in. We invite you to discover the incredible flavors of India through our carefully curated selection of regional specialties that are natural and organic food products including forgotten heirloom ingredients.
