From the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, Namakwali emerged in 2018 as a celebration of tradition, taste, and sustainability. Founded by Shashi Bahuguna Raturi and co‑founded by Suvendu Raturi, the brand began with a simple yet powerful idea: to share the ancestral recipes of Uttarakhand with the world.

What started as flavored salts crafted by women in village courtyards has now grown into a diverse organic brand offering salts, spices, A2 Badri Cow Ghee, and other premium ingredients—all rooted in authenticity and care.
The Story of Flavoured Salts
The heart of Namakwali lies in its flavoured salts, prepared using traditional methods on the silbatta (stone grinder). Women from different regions of Uttarakhand came together, handpicking herbs and spices from the high altitudes of the Himalayas.
The process itself is a cultural ritual:
- Sitting together in courtyards.
- Grinding salt with laughter and folk songs.
- Packing each blend with love and tenderness.
When you open a packet of Namakwali salt, you don’t just taste seasoning—you taste heritage, community, and the warmth of home.
Organic Commitment
Namakwali’s philosophy is deeply tied to sustainability and health. Every product is:
- 100% organic and chemical‑free.
- Handpicked from Himalayan farms.
- Cultivated using traditional methods without harmful fertilizers.
Among its offerings, the A2 Badri Cow Ghee stands out. Made from cows raised in pristine Himalayan conditions, it is rich in nutrition and celebrated for its health benefits.
Empowering Communities
Beyond products, Namakwali is about people. The brand empowers local women and farmers by giving them a platform to share their ancestral knowledge and skills. By turning traditional recipes into modern offerings, Namakwali ensures that heritage is preserved while communities thrive economically.
Expanding the Flavour Palette
The women behind Namakwali didn’t stop at salts. They introduced a wider range of organic products—spices, herbs, and premium ingredients—all designed to bring the authentic taste of Himalayan villages to kitchens across the globe.
Each product carries the essence of the mountains: pure, wholesome, and deeply connected to nature.
Mission & Vision
Namakwali’s mission is clear:
- Expand its product line while staying true to tradition.

It’s not just about food—it’s about savoring every moment and celebrating the cultural richness of Uttarakhand.
