Founding Story

The story of Humble Origins Superfoods is built upon a 21-year friendship and the shared experience of founders Ushma and Malvika, both of whom traversed continents and cultures—from Mumbai and Vadodara to the US—while remaining anchored to their Indian heritage. A defining element of their upbringing was the presence of ancestral wisdom in their kitchens: traditional remedies passed down by their mothers and grandmothers, where simple ingredients like turmeric and ginger were the default cure for every ailment. Although they didn't fully appreciate the power of these foods at the time, this cultural foundation later became the blueprint for their brand.

The pivotal "aha" moment arrived as both women navigated motherhood and demanding professional lives, leading them to critically examine their families’ modern diets. Despite Malvika’s family turning vegetarian and Ushma’s focus on clean eating, both realized that processed food systems had stripped purity and potency from even seemingly healthy ingredients. Driven by a desire to understand why those ancient remedies worked, the friends decided to bridge that gap. They combined their complementary strengths—Malvika’s background in mindful living and Ushma’s expertise in strategic communication—to create a brand defined by transparency, simplicity, and reverence for the land. Humble Origins Superfoods was born from this commitment: a mission to reintroduce the authentic, potent ingredients—ethically sourced from pristine regions like Meghalaya, India—that had nourished their families for generations.
