OUR JOURNEY
combines the wisdom of three generations with modern food science, creating snacks that honor tradition while meeting today's nutritional needs.
THE BEGINNING - A HUMBLE START
In the beginning was the Late Ram Chandra Sah, our beloved grandfather (fondly known as the Makhana Wala). He started cropping and selling makhana when only a few people knew about this crop.
EXPANDING CULTIVATION
We owned ponds in the Mithila region of Bihar to cultivate seeds and trade raw makhana in the wholesale market. At this stage, makhana was primarily used during Indian festivals.
SPREADING AWARENESS BEYOND TRADITION
The second generation continued to spread awareness of makhana, aiming to position it beyond its traditional use in Indian festivals.
ENTERING RETAIL: BIRTH OF MARUTI MAKHANA
With the opportunity of makhana being a big healthy snack, we set up scalable production and started selling branded raw makhana in retail chains under the name 'Maruti Makhana'.
INNOVATION IN SNACKING
The third generation, Alpana Jayant Sahne launched roasted and flavoured healthy makhana snacks in India, and for export.
