About us

Three friends, one idea, far too many voice notes.

Asanoha started the way most good ideas in India start: over chai, after a long day, with someone saying “yaar, hear me out.”

Adarsh had the idea. Joseph asked how everyone felt about it. Soumyadev asked what it would cost, who would do the paperwork, and whether any of us had eaten. Between an MBA at IIM Indore, two day jobs and Bangalore traffic, we built this one weekend at a time.

The honest reason behind it is simpler. We missed people. School friends in other cities. College friends in other time zones. The friend who stayed when things were hard, and whom you haven’t called in four months because work. We wanted to make something that comes with a built-in reason to reach out. So every pack comes in two halves, and the second half is never for you.

The founders

Our slam book pages.

We asked each other to fill these in honestly. Mostly honestly.

Founder and CEO

@____a.d.a.r.s.h____

Techie by training, IIM Indore student by choice, explorer by habit. Adarsh has started more side projects than most people have tabs open. This is the one he refuses to leave half done, which is ironic, given the brand.

Pankaj Singh

Product and Quality Assurance Consultant

@pankaj447

Adarsh’s elder brother, which means he has been doing quality assurance on Adarsh since childhood. Pankaj has an M.Pharm, so he actually understands the chemistry part (wink). He reads a Certificate of Analysis the way other people read cricket scores, and once returned a packet of namkeen because the batch number “looked suspicious”. He was right.

What we care about

Three rules we don’t break.

Two of everything

Every pack is made to be shared with someone who matters, because that’s the point.

Honest labels

Leaf-only extract, strength printed on every label, and a Certificate of Analysis for every batch. No miracle claims.

Made by the right people

Our medicines are made under an AYUSH manufacturing licence, and every batch is tested before it reaches you.

Prescription, always

Adults only, and only with a practitioner’s prescription. Being fun doesn’t mean being careless.
