Prana Kitchens is a women- and minority-owned wellness food brand co-founded by Sri Giridharan and Aruna Sankaranarayanan — two women of color, technologists-turned-entrepreneurs. Recognized with the 2026 & 2025 Snail of Approval by Slow Food USA, Prana Kitchens crafts handcrafted, Ayurveda-inspired spice blends, wellness infusions, wholesome meal kits, and spiced nuts — all made in small batches in the USA using fair-trade, ethically sourced ingredients from regenerative farms.

Rooted in the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and inspired by recipes passed down through generations, Prana Kitchens brings together the authenticity of traditional Indian spices and the creativity of global cuisine. Every product is cast-iron roasted by hand, never pre-stocked, and packaged in eco-friendly materials — ensuring peak freshness, quality, and minimal environmental impact.

Beyond products, Prana Kitchens offers experiential wellness programs including mindful eating workshops, Ayurvedic cooking classes, and corporate wellness gifting. With direct sourcing partnerships now spanning 10 regenerative farms across India and the U.S., supporting farming communities is not just a business practice — it is a core value.

Come Alive — where taste meets tradition, and conscious consumption embraces community empowerment.
