Who We Are

From confusion to clarity - my journey to making fitness simple, science-backed, and consistent.

Since I was a kid, I always knew exactly what I wanted to do. Growing up in my family’s factory, surrounded by father's courage to start food manufacturing as a 3rd generation in standard manner, products being made with utmost integrity, and endless vendor conversations amongst my father and uncles…just to give respect to my grandmother's recipe formula and make sure it reaches every home. I remember thinking at just 12 years old, “One day I’ll build my own food company.” A few years later, I realised I loved numbers and math so much that I coined the word “Food Engineering” in my head, not even knowing if it was even a thing🤣.Turns out, it was, and I pursued it because I was so sure that’s where I belonged.

But I knew having a vision wasn’t enough. So I went to study entrepreneurship at USF, one of the top schools globally for Entrepreneurship - where Karaki really started taking shape in my mind, surrounded by other entrepreneurs solving real problems. I worked in finance, data analytics, business strategy… anything to build strong business skills, because I knew those, combined with my food tech knowledge, would make Karaki meaningful and strong.

I always wanted to move back to India, but was waiting for the right time. And then my father passed away suddenly, and I left my job over a call (Thank you John, if you’re reading this, for being so understanding 🙏) and came back to be with family. That moment was also when I knew…This is it. My lifelong dream of starting a food company begins here❤️ That’s why I named it Karaki (KAmlesh, RAjesh, KIshore): as a tribute to my father and uncles who stood like fathers when I lost mine. Always there, always supporting me when I needed it the most.

Phew! It hasn’t been easy. I was diagnosed with severe PCOS and gained about 18 kgs in just 3 months - where hormonal imbalance makes protein absorption, energy balance, and inflammation control tricky. I had a grade 3 meniscus tear, a real test of strength and recovery. But this year, I stood on the court as an athlete at the Global Encounters Festival in Dubai : a platform even bigger than the Night Olympics - competing with international athletes 🏆

Every step of my personal journey led me to create a product line grounded in real science, made for real people like us. I ideated every formulation, but worked with the best experts to make them precise, effective, and trustworthy. 👉 Step 1 – Smooth Start Protein Smoothies & Millet SmoothiesI worked closely with scientists at CFTRI (Central Food Technological Research Institute) who helped me design the precise formulations. Why? Because your body doesn’t wake up overnight knowing how to digest 24–28 grams of protein if it’s been inactive for months. So I formulated them with 10–12g of highly digestible plant-based protein, plant fibers, millet, and adaptogens (ashwagandha, chamomile) to help the body gently re-learn protein absorption, support gut health, and manage stress - all backed by research.

👉 Step 2 – Strength & Adapt Collagen Protein MixesFor the strength-building phase, we collaborated with top ingredient researchers and doctors specialising in nutrition and how ingredients interact with the body. Together, we developed a 28g plant-based protein mix with plant-extracted collagen peptides with clinical studies and well researched impacts, plus real cocoa or coffee bean extracts as adaptogens. This helps not only in building muscle but also in supporting tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues as the body adapts to regular exercise and consistency. 👉 Step 3 – Cellular Hydration Mixes for long-term performance and cellular health, we partnered with two world-class squash coaches - one ranked No. 8 in PSA globally and No. 1 in Asia - who know first-hand the science of hydration and endurance. We created hydration mixes with full spectrum electrolytes, natural adaptogens, and precise micronutrients to support tired cells, prevent burnout, and maintain energy throughout intense activity.

There is nothing like “protein for women” or “protein for men.” If my body - full of insulin resistance and imbalance - could absorb these products so easily and show real results, imagine what your body could do? Because these aren’t just proteins…They’re scientifically formulated solutions that work precisely with your biology, no matter your gender.

And I couldn’t have done this journey alone. My husband - my hero and the greatest enabler I could ask for - has always been there holding my hand. Not just with words, but with action. He believed in me, and in these products, more than anyone else. With his 15 years of experience as an ERP consultant, he helped me streamline the entire Karaki operations frontend, making sure everything runs smoothly and the products we make reaches you. He’s not just my cofounder…He’s the real enabler of Karaki.

Honestly, I was so tired of seeing people get lost in a sea of confusing health advice, random supplements, and conflicting trends 😩 I went through that myself… trying to figure out what actually works for my body, meeting so many doctors and fitness experts. That’s why we created Karaki - simple, science-backed guidance and products that help you build healthy habits without all the guesswork. No more wasting time on what to take or when… just easy steps to get you moving and feeling good every day 💪 Our whole goal is to make India fit again by making fitness and nutrition easy, actionable, and consistent ✅ Every product we design fits into a bigger plan so you don’t have to think twice. Just follow along, stay consistent, and build a routine that actually works 🙌 Because real change happens when science meets simple habits 😊
