A Letter from Founder
Dear Friend,
Do you remember the last time food tasted like home? Not expensive restaurant food. Not packaged snacks with fancy labels. I mean real home food – the kind your mother made, with her hands, with love, without thinking about profit margins or shelf life.
For me, that moment came three years ago. I was sitting in my tiny apartment in New Delhi, eating yet another 'healthy' snack bar, when I got a call from my mother. 'Aaj til ladoo banaye hain,' she said. 'Tumhare liye pack kar deti hoon.'
Something broke inside me. Here I was living in a city where everything is available in just a click, and I couldn't even get simple, real food without waiting for a visit home.
"That's not progress. That's a compromise."
I started researching. Do you know what's actually in most 'traditional' snacks sold in stores? Palm oil, highly processed sweeteners, and Preservatives. These aren't traditional. They're industrial.
So I made a decision: I would bring real local regional food to people like me. People who moved away but never wanted to leave the taste of home behind. I went back to my Hometown. I worked with local mothers who still made food the right way. We started small – just til ladoo and thekua. But we made them exactly how they should be made. No palm oil. No refined sugar. No shortcuts.
Today, The Heritage Peti aims to serve as many people as we can across India. Working professionals who refuse to settle. Families who care about what goes into their bodies. NRIs who thought they'd never taste authentic Bihari food again.
A Vision of 28 States
But this is just the beginning. India has 28 states. Each has unique recipes. Each with mothers who know the right way to make them. My goal is to bring them all to you – one region at a time. Because you shouldn't have to choose between modern life and authentic food. You deserve both.
Welcome to The Heritage Peti family.
