Founder's Note
Hi, I’m Sagar, Founder of Nandi.
Nandi started with a question I couldn’t ignore—
why did real, locally pressed oil taste richer than what we’d come to accept as normal?
I grew up around food made slowly and honestly.
No labels, no claims—just processes that respected the ingredient.
Somewhere along the way, we replaced that with convenience.
The moment I experienced true cold-pressed oil again, I knew—
nothing was wrong with the food. We had just moved away from how it was meant to be made.
So we went back.
At Nandi, we use traditional methods—wood cold pressing, unpolished grains, and careful sourcing.
No refining. No additives. No shortcuts.
Just food, the way it should be.
For those who can taste the difference—and won’t settle for less.
Crafted with Purpose
Our Story
Real food never needed to be complicated.
Nandi was born from a simple belief — that the best food needs nothing added and nothing taken away. We saw a market full of refined, processed oils and polished rice, and we asked: what happened to the real thing?So we went back to the source. Back to Indian farms, traditional chekku presses, and cold pressing methods that have existed for centuries. We didn't reinvent anything. We just refused to compromise.
"The oil your ancestors trusted. The rice your family grew up on. That's what we make."
Our Mission
Nandi was built to bring back the purity of traditional Indian cold-pressed oils. With Chekku-pressed, single-ingredient oils and complete transparency, we help families choose what they consume without second-guessing.

Three things we never compromise on.
WHAT WE STAND FOR
No shortcuts
Single press. No heat. No chemicals. We extract oil and process grains the way it has always been done — slowly, honestly.
Source matters
Every product traces back to Indian farms and time-tested varieties — Sona Masoori, white sesame, peanut. Origin is everything.
Pure by design
Zero additives. Zero preservatives. What's on the label is all that's in the bottle — and that's a promise, not a marketing line.
Healthy doesn't have to be complicated.
Our oils are Chekku cold pressed — an ancient wood-press method that extracts oil at temperatures below 40°C. No refining. No bleaching. No deodorising.
Our rice is carefully sorted and packed without polishing agents, preserving the natural texture and nutrients of each grain.
Nandi — Grub of the Gods. Nurtured by tradition, brought to your kitchen with integrity.
