Soni Yadav — Co-Founder

I am Soni Yadav, founder of Salteen, a women-led traditional food brand rooted in the authentic flavors of Banaras. My journey began with a simple belief: homemade food is not just about taste, it’s about culture, care and connection. Through Salteen, I am building a brand that brings hygienic, handcrafted and culturally rich Indian food products to modern consumers while preserving the essence of traditional recipes. Beyond building a brand, my mission is deeply social. I am working towards creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural women by connecting self-help groups (SHGs) with structured supply chains and growing markets. Salteen is not just a food business, it is a platform for empowerment, dignity and financial independence. With a focus on quality, authenticity and scalability, we are developing a strong ecosystem for products like pickles, papad and snacks, ensuring they meet modern standards while retaining their traditional soul. I believe the future of Indian entrepreneurship lies in blending heritage with innovation and I am committed to building Salteen as a brand that represents both.
