Kaushal Karia — Co-Founder

I’m the founder of Vedic Garden—a clean-label health-focused snacks and beverages brand I launched in 2021. The idea was born out of my personal journey battling gut health issues, and a deep desire to shift society toward mindful, nourishing consumption. Our mission is to offer authentic, Indian-origin alternatives to mass-market unhealthy snacks—made without palm oil or maida, and rich in superfoods and ancient ingredients. Before founding Vedic Garden, I spent nearly a decade in wealth management, immersed in both quantitative (algorithmic) and qualitative (fundamental) investing. This sharpened my analytical thinking and gave me an eye for scalable opportunities—skills I now apply to building a CPG brand from scratch. I began my career in our third-generation family FMCG distribution business, working with some of the biggest brands in the world—Colgate-Palmolive, HUL, Godrej Consumer, L’Oréal, Mondelēz, and more. This gave me first-hand insight into consumer behavior, branding, offline distribution, and the backend engine that powers India’s massive retail network. Outside of work, I’m a die-hard Indian cricket fan, a peopleholic who loves catching up with friends, and I unwind by playing the keyboard.
