Founding Story

Perfecting this signature chutney for over a decade, we’re Cashu and Tan, the spirited mother-daughter duo behind Elephant Green Chili Chutney™.

Our chutney chronicles kicked off when Cashu (a former recipe columnist, culinary enthusiast and talented home chef) was persuaded by Tan (an economics-driven foodie on a mission to share her mom’s chutney mojo) to bring their cherished green chutney to every table.

Simple ingredients with just the right notes, this delectably addictive chutney is inspired by Cashu’s culinary adventures in New York City, her Indian roots, and her family and friends’ obsession with this secret blend.

Its versatility is boundless, effortlessly enhancing or adapting to almost any culinary creation, making it a kitchen essential.

At Elephant Green Chili Chutney™, our mission is clear yet profoundly heartfelt: to share our passion for vibrant flavors and wholesome food, making every cook’s journey, across cultures, just a little easier and a lot more zesty.

We believe food is more than just sustenance—it’s a way to express love, celebrate life, and connect with one another.

We are thrilled for you to join us as we stir up our chutney tales!

Stay Zesty, Sweet, and Spicy!

Vegpreneur - Jan 05, 2026 Founder Spotlight: Cashmira S (Elephant Green Chili Chutney) "Startup Stage? Bootstrapped, actively growing, and scaling. What led you to where you are today? We were led here by a passion for clean, bold flavor and a belief that chutney deserves a bigger place in the American pantry. What started as a simple idea evolved through countless tests, conversations, and community support. Every step to retail shelves — reinforced our mission and shaped the brand we’re building today. What do you wish you knew before embarking on your entrepreneurial journey? We wish we knew how emotional and personal the entrepreneurial journey truly is — it’s an evolution that demands resilience, stamina, and constant adaptation. We also wish we had understood earlier that growth is rarely linear; it happens through pivots, experiments, and continuous learning. What is the most difficult decision you've had to make regarding your business so far? The most difficult decision we’ve had to make so far has been prioritizing how and where to allocate our limited funds. Every choice—whether it’s production, marketing, or growth opportunities—comes with trade-offs, and learning to invest wisely while staying true to our mission has been both challenging and essential. What can you help the VEGPRENEUR community with? We can support the VEGPRENEUR community by sharing insights and connections from the CPG world to help strengthen our collective growth. I’m excited to collaborate, network, and create synergistic opportunities that elevate all plant-forward founders. How can the VEGPRENEUR community help you? The VEGPRENEUR community can help me by offering thought partnership, shared learnings, and supportive connections as we scale our CPG brand. I value the insights, collaboration, and visibility that come from being part of a mission-aligned network. Fun fact about you: Fun fact about me: I can turn any ingredient in my kitchen into a chutney experiment — sometimes at 2 AM. Anything else you would like to share? We’re proud to share that we are a top-three sofi™ Awards Finalist in Condiments for 2026. We’re launching on Amazon for the holiday season, and within just 12 months of debuting, our chutney is now in over 30 stores across the Northeast. Come sample us at the Winter Fancy Food Show in San Diego in January 2026!"
