It’s often believed that a lot can happen over coffee. However, for Vikram and Mashi aka founders of MAVI’s Pantry; their entrepreneurial eureka moment struck during one of those customary evening sessions with friends—over some great-tasting kombucha. Soon, the ‘booch-addiction’ (as they fondly call it) led to many such in-house sessions. And before they knew it, a life-altering decision was made: to drop everything else, bring kombucha to India and front-run a sustainable culture that helps young adults choose a healthier alternative over two-minute solutions. The brand currently serves up an array of interesting healthy drinks such as kombuchas, beetkvass, tepache, water kefir and sauerkraut among other gut-friendly offerings.
Fast forward to 2023, and the founders are conjuring up smarter ways to make festive drinking a healthy affair. “We recently made kombucha, ginger ale and the like to avoid guilty festive drinking. How could we possibly wish our loved ones the best and still offer them alcohol or sugary drinks that are laden with preservatives, harmful dyes and flavours in the name of celebration?” opines Vikram, adding, “This is precisely why we created MAVI’s Pantry so that we can wish and also offer good health and joy to our loved ones over great tasting immunity- boosting drinks.”
