Blog Article
In today’s fast-paced world, making healthier food choices is more important than ever. With more people embracing gluten-free and nutrient-dense diets, Super Millets has emerged as a preferred option for Mumbaikars, offering a wide range of millet products that align with a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. But what truly sets Super Millets apart? It’s the story behind the brand, the people behind the mission, and the deeply-rooted values that drive every product we offer.
Our Story
Meet the dynamic mother-daughter duo, Shilpa and Meha Kumar, who are the driving force behind Super Millets. Meha, with a Masters in Environmental Management and a degree in Architecture, has always been passionate about sustainability, while Shilpa has a steadfast commitment to all-natural living. Growing up in a household surrounded by naturopaths and yoga enthusiasts, Shilpa instilled in Meha the enduring wisdom that “Actions speak louder than words.”
Before the pandemic, Shilpa had a successful 25-year career as a businesswoman, specializing in green and sustainable corporate gifts. Her deep expertise in environmental sustainability is still a key influence in their approach to holistic health and wellness. Together, Shilpa and Meha launched Super Millets with a mission to support smallholding farmers in Maharashtra who were struggling to transport fresh produce to Mumbai due to the COVID-19 lockdown.
This initiative began in Nashik, where they helped farmers monetize their perishable goods without incurring losses. In the process, they discovered the incredible benefits of millets—tiny superfoods that support immunity, promote a healthy lifestyle, and are sustainable for both the planet and the farmers who grow them.
With a strong belief in the power of food to change lives, Shilpa and Meha set out to reintroduce millets as a dietary staple, bringing these ancient grains into modern kitchens. Shilpa crafted a unique millet batter that could be used to make everything from crispy dosas to fluffy idlis, savory uttapams, pancakes, and even nutritious waffles—perfect for all ages.
In the early days of the pandemic, they introduced their millet creations to friends and family, sparking a small revolution. As people became more conscious about their health and immunity, the positive reception of their preservative-free products encouraged Meha to expand their product range. What started as a family-driven initiative quickly grew into a beloved brand offering a variety of millet-based products.
Super Millets proudly offers products that are organically grown, gluten-free, and sourced from local farmers. For the team, it’s more than just a business—it’s a mission to provide healthy food without compromising on taste while supporting sustainable agriculture.
Our journey was further inspired by the UN declaring 2023 as the International Year of Millets, underscoring the message that millets are “Good for you, Good for the planet, and Good for the farmer.” This global advocacy inspired Super Millets to embrace an advocacy model that helps promote millets as an incredibly nutritious, sustainable, and eco-friendly superfood.
