The Pahadi Story

Messy desks. Packed Meetings. Clear purpose. If you ever peeked behind the scenes at Pahadi Story, you’d find scattered papers, half-written ideas, empty chai cups and a WHOLE LOT of organized chaos. It’s not always pretty but that’s where the magic happens. Every clean, honest product we bring to you is born in this beautiful mess. We obsess over the smallest details, carefully selecting ingredients, testing recipes and crafting stories that matter. Why? Because delivering something pure, something that carries the soul of the mountains, takes more than just good intentions. It takes passion, patience and a desk that rarelyyy stays tidy! So while our workspaces might be a little chaotic, the purpose is always clear: bringing you the goodness of clean living, one honest product at a time. Pravin Shah Mujahid S.

Raw talent doesn’t ask for attention. It demands silence. When we met Akshita, a young girl from Almora, we thought we were just meeting another playful kid from the mountains. Then she started singing  and the room fell silent! Her voice carried more than melody. It carried stories. In this song, a beautiful Kumaoni folk tune, she sings of the unseen struggles of women — the quiet strength they carry, the tireless work they do and the rare moments they get for themselves. At that moment, we knew her voice needed to be heard. Beyond Almora. Beyond Uttarakhand. Raw talent like this doesn’t just deserve appreciation; it deserves a platform. We hope we can be a part of her journey. Pravin Shah Ninoshka Mascarenhas Mujahid S. Shreya Mishra Gaurav Saklani #ThePahadiStory #Talent #Uttarakhand #Almora

Team bonding is overrated. Because real connections don’t happen over forced icebreakers or trust falls. They happen when you’re 1,800 km from home, sharing chai on a cold morning, laughing over missed turns, and working with the mountains as your backdrop. They happen when you sit cross-legged on the floor, sharing a meal with women farmers who teach you more about resilience in one conversation than any leadership book ever could. They happen when work doesn’t feel like “work” because the people around you make it feel like purpose. We didn’t go to Almora for team bonding. But we came back as something stronger- a team with a shared story, a bigger mission, and a few new dance moves. What’s one experience that brought your team closer without even trying?

Why Aren’t We Eating Millets? - Watch this Video!🚨 For years, we’ve been eating the same two grains—rice and wheat. Every meal, every plate, the same routine. But here’s the real question: Is it working for us? Our soil says no. Our farmers say no. Our health? Definitely no. For centuries, millets thrived in India’s fields, keeping our ancestors strong and our land fertile. Then industrial farming pushed them aside, calling them "poor man’s food." Millets are actually the smartest choice we could make today. - Climate Resilient – Survives drought, heat, and tough soil - Nutrient-Packed – More fiber, protein, and iron than refined grains - Eco-Friendly – Needs a fraction of the water that rice demands - Farmer-Friendly – Supports small growers with better income opportunities That’s why we started The Pahadi Millet Impact (PMI) We’re not here to preach—we’re here to make millets a delicious, easy choice for everyone. Through PMI, we are: 1. Reviving Tradition Millets have been at the heart of Himalayan farming for centuries. We work closely with local farmers to preserve indigenous knowledge, improve farming techniques, and ensure these grains continue to thrive—not as a trend, but as a way of life. 2. Nourishing Futures Food should be nutritious, accessible, and sustainable. Millets are packed with fiber, protein, and essential minerals—making them a smart choice for modern lifestyles. Through PMI, we’re making millet-based foods effortless, delicious, and a part of everyday meals. 3. Transforming Lives PMI is more than just a food movement—it’s about people, empowerment, and impact. By supporting small-scale farmers, especially women, we’re ensuring fair wages, better market access, and a stronger rural economy, creating a future where food benefits everyone—from the growers to the consumers. Because the future of food should be as strong as the hands that grow it. Join us on this mission for a better tomorrow. Pravin Shah Mujahid S.

Women’s Day comes and goes, wrapped in applause and well-meaning words. But this time, we wanted more than a celebration. We wanted a conversation. So, we gathered in Dhamas, Almora, sharing warm millet rotis, fresh mountain vegetables, and speaking about what truly matters. The Pahadi Story We spoke about the quiet strength of our Pahadi women, the challenges they meet with unwavering grit, and the change they are ready to create. And somewhere between stories and smiles, a mission took shape. A promise. An impact. The Pahadi Millet Impact was born—standing on three pillars: - Reviving Traditions - Nourishing Futures - Transforming Lives The reality on the ground is clear. - Farming must become rewarding for the younger generation. - Water scarcity is real, and conservation is critical. - Wild animals continue to destroy crops, threatening livelihoods. This Women’s Day wasn’t just about looking back at how far we’ve come. It was about looking ahead—to everything that’s still possible. You can be part of this vision. - Include our upcoming millet-based snacks and ready-to-eat foods in your home. - Corporates can integrate millet wellness into gifting and employee well-being. - Retailers and sellers can help bring Pahadi nutrition to more people. Here’s to walking forward with the strength of our women. Celebrating them today, yes, but standing beside them every day. The hills are calling. This time, we answer—together. #IWD25

At 8 AM, I Saw What True Teamwork Looks Like—A Room Full of Passionate Women, Packing 1,000 Boxes!” There’s something magical about early mornings. At 8 AM, I walked into a room buzzing with energy. A room full of incredible women, sleeves rolled up, smiles intact. They were hand-packing 1,000 beautifully curated gift boxes. Each box was for Phillip Capital’s 25-year celebration. PhillipCapital The Pahadi Story But these weren’t just boxes. They were tokens of thoughtfulness and purpose. Every detail—from vibrant colors to curated products—was a labor of love. Sales might win the contract. But it’s the team that delivers on the promise. And this team delivered in the most inspiring way. A heartfelt thank you to Phillip Capital for this opportunity.

Our journey has always been about honoring traditions while embracing the future—and when we see a like-minded partner sharing that vision, we know it’s a collaboration meant to be. This year, we joined hands with Garuda Aerospace Private Limited at their ASCEND 2025 event, a platform celebrating community empowerment, technology, and impact-driven progress. Garuda’s commitment to uplifting women through innovation, from Drone Didis revolutionizing agriculture to creating new economic opportunities, aligns perfectly with our mission to empower women farmers of Uttarakhand through sustainable livelihood initiatives. As a token of this shared vision, we curated exclusive gifting hampers for distinguished guests, filled with handcrafted, all-natural Himalayan products—a tribute to the power of conscious consumption and mindful gifting. Each box wasn’t just a gift; it was a story—a story of women, wellness, and the wisdom of the mountains. 🚀 When innovation meets tradition, we create impact. 💡 When women rise, industries transform. We’re grateful to have been a part of this meaningful event and look forward to more collaborations that amplify purpose and progress. Here’s to building a future where heritage and innovation walk hand in hand! #ThePahadiStory #GarudaAerospace #WomenLedImpact #ConsciousGifting
