Our Story
Discover the passion and tradition behind SpiceMantra's premium Indian spices and seasonings
The SpiceMantra Journey
SpiceMantra was born from a desire to bring the authentic flavors of India to kitchens worldwide. Its founder, Arjun Sharma, grew up in a family where cooking was not merely about nourishment but a celebration of culture and tradition.
After moving abroad for his studies, Arjun quickly realized how much he missed the vibrant and rich flavors of his mother’s cooking. The spices available locally lacked the freshness and depth he had grown up with. This realization sparked his mission to source and share the finest Indian spices with the world.
In 2010, SpiceMantra was founded with a commitment to quality, authenticity, and sustainability. What started as a small venture has grown into a trusted name for premium spices, but the core values remain the same. Each product we offer is carefully selected, ethically sourced, and handled with great care to preserve its natural essence.
Today, SpiceMantra takes pride in connecting spice lovers, home cooks, and professional chefs with the true flavors of India. Our journey continues as we discover new spice varieties, traditional blends, and innovative ways to enhance your culinary experiences.
Our Story

The Foundation
SpiceMantra was born with the aim of sharing the rich and authentic flavors of India with the world. Our first batch of spices was sold at local markets, where we introduced our unique blends to a small but eager audience.
Opening Our First Store
In Mumbai, we opened our first store, bringing a curated collection of premium spices and blends directly to our customers. It was a chance for them to experience the true aromas and vibrant colors that make Indian spices so special.
Digital Growth
We expanded our reach by launching our online store, allowing spice enthusiasts across India and beyond to access our products. This marked a major milestone in our journey to bring Indian spices to kitchens around the globe.
Commitment to Sustainability
We built direct relationships with farmers across India, ensuring fair trade practices and promoting sustainable agriculture. This initiative helps us guarantee the quality and ethical sourcing of all our spices.
Expanding Globally
Our products reached specialty stores in Europe, North America, and Australia, allowing us to bring the authentic taste of India to kitchens worldwide, further solidifying our global presence.
