Rooted in Soil.Carried by Sea.
Swanandi began as a quiet conversation between farmer and family — a vow to preserve the integrity of the Indian turmeric harvest as it stepped onto the world stage.
A Vow to the Golden Root.
We do not sell a powder. We carry the warmth of our soil and the prayers of our grandmothers into kitchens we will never see.
— Kaustubh Shende, Founder
Founded in 2005 by Kaustubh Shende — a third-generation farmer from Maharashtra — Swanandi Spices is built on a single belief: that the world deserves turmeric grown, harvested and shipped with the same reverence with which it was once offered in temple kitchens.
Today we partner with smallholder families across the heartland of Maharashtra, paying fair-trade premiums and reinvesting in seed, soil and schools.
