Hello Everyone , I’m still in Class 12, still balancing school, board exams, the pressure of PCM, all of it… but in the middle of this normal student life, something very unusual started happening inside me. Every time I sat to study, a small voice in my mind kept reminding me of the one thing I can’t ignore:
the purity I grew up tasting in the mountains should reach the world.
This idea didn’t come from a business plan.
It came from a feeling — a very personal, very raw feeling.
Whenever I visit my village in Uttarakhand, I feel like I’m entering a different universe. The moment you step out of the car, the air is cold, sharp, fresh… something that doesn’t exist in the polluted plains. The water tastes natural, untouched. And the food — even the simplest dal and roti — tastes like it’s alive.
It’s hard to explain, but that food carries truth.
It carries the mountains inside it.
I remember my grandmother cleaning grains by hand. No chemicals, no machines, no polishing. Just patience, tradition, and purity. The grains weren’t shiny or artificially perfect — they were real. And I didn’t realize how rare that was until I came back to the city every time.
Here, everything is polished. Everything is “improved.”
Shiny dal, shiny rajma, shiny everything.
But somewhere in that shine, the soul is lost.
And once you know what real food tastes like, it’s impossible to forget it.
That contrast between my village and the city never left my mind.
I would think,
“Why is real food only limited to those who live in the mountains? Why can’t others taste what I grew up eating?”
That question became bigger and bigger inside me.
And one day, I stopped thinking and just started.
That’s how The Himalayan Legacy was born.
Not from money.
Not from experience.
Not from any business background.
Just from a Class 12 boy’s memories and emotions.
I started with what I had access to — the grains that define my region:
Bhatt, Gahat/Kulthi, Pahadi Urad, Soyabean, White Bhatt, Ragi…
The dals that people in the plains don’t even know exist properly, but for pahadi households they are everyday food.
Food full of minerals, strength, and natural purity.
I added a few mountain spices too, because these are the flavours I grew up with.
This felt like the right beginning — simple, honest, and straight from the soil.
But my dream goes way beyond just a few staple foods.
The Himalayas are not just mountains…
they are a living treasure.
They hold medicines, herbs, wild honey, ancient remedies, and superfoods that the modern world still doesn’t truly understand.
In the future, I want my brand to carry everything that represents real Himalayan wellness:
True Shilajit resin, Himalayan wild forest honey, pure rhododendron blends, Himalayan herbal teas, rare medicinal herbs, traditional flours like Jhangora, Chaulai, pure mountain rock salt, cold-pressed oils, and even ancient Ayurvedic ingredients that only come from high-altitude zones.
I want the world to see that purity is not a marketing trick — it is a place, a lifestyle, a culture.
And it’s slowly disappearing.
Whenever I go to my village now, it hurts to see how many houses are empty. How many families have left for cities. How much of our culture is fading because people need jobs, stability, and opportunities. They leave their land not because they want to — but because they have no choice.
I want to change that.
If my brand grows,
if it can create work in the mountains,
if it can give people employment in their own homeland,
if even a few families decide not to migrate because they can work with us —
that would mean more to me than any business achievement ever could.
I don’t know everything yet.
I’m still learning, still making mistakes, still studying, still growing.
But I know one thing very clearly:
This purity, this honesty, this mountain identity —
I will not let it die.
I will take it to every home, every city, and every person who deserves real food.
This is just the beginning.
I’m only in Class 12.
My journey has barely started.
But I can already feel that this path is mine.
The Himalayan Legacy is not just a brand.
It’s me.
It’s my roots.
It’s my mountains.
It’s the purity I grew up with — now moving toward the world.
And one day, I truly believe the world will taste what my village gave me.
