How Saritha SS is nurturing a healthy future with her organic food range?

When Saritha SS first started harvesting vegetables without using any chemicals back in 2013, no one took her seriously. Today, she is successfully running Jivan Organics, an organic food retailing business in Bengaluru. An ardent believer in the benefits of meditation, Saritha was drawn towards spirituality from a young age and used to conduct free meditation camps in schools and colleges. It was during one such session that a student asked her if one could treat all diseases with meditation that got her thinking. “After talking to a meditation expert, I realised that people were suffering from various diseases due to the kind of food they were having. Indians have always been eating food products grown without the use of chemicals. It was only later that the use of chemicals was introduced in farming in India to increase yield.” Sowing seeds of hope The realisation goaded her into giving up her corporate job and turning an entrepreneur in 2013. She began by visiting farmers and agricultural experts and learning about the basics of organic farming. She then went on to grow organic fruits and vegetables in her garden and supplied them to friends and family. “As the demand started increasing, I was unable to keep up. By then, the awareness about organic farming was spreading among the general public and I started meeting organic farmers associations who agreed to supply vegetables and fruits,” says the 42-year-old entrepreneur.

She opened the first Jivan Organics store in October 2014 in Yelahanka Newtown in Bengaluru. Initially, the store sold millets, cold-pressed oils, and organic fruits and vegetables. Over the years, she has added stoneware and earthenware utensils to her range. Surviving the challenge While other businesses were crumbling after the nationwide lockdowns due to COVID-19, sales were skyrocketing at Jivan Organics. “We saw more and more people being drawn towards organic products due to health concerns,” says Saritha. Talking about her future plans, Saritha says that she wants to make organically produced food more affordable for the common man. “I feel having good and safe food is every human’s birthright.”

She plans on expanding her brand into Tier 2 cities next. Saritha is among the 24 women entrepreneurs who are participating in the GAME Xcelerator Bangalore programme and is looking forward to hone her leadership skills during the sessions Xcelerator Bangalore is a programme for women entrepreneurs in Bengaluru. It helps women scale ahead by bolstering their businesses. “I want to learn about sales and marketing and how I can hire an efficient team and to increase Jivan Organics’ brand value,” says Saritha.

What Our Custumers Says ?

One-stop to buy all your essentials. Right from vegetables, fruits, groceries to shampoo, soap, etc.
The very friendly staff explained all my questions in detail.

An authentic place in north Bangalore to get organic supplies and groceries, very well curated by Sarita. She personally evaluates the products before she puts it on the shelf. Always nice to chat with her in case you want to know more about the product. Very well stocked, with fresh vegetables and seasonal fruits too.

For lovers of organic, clean, sustainable, eco-friendly, vegan friendly and non-toxic products, Jivan Organics is heaven on Earth.

Honestly I could browse through their shelves all day, marvelling at the sheer variety of health foods they’ve stocked up on!

For a considerably small store, they have a wealth of great products, that you’d typically only find online, but with the added bonus of not having to pay delivery charges for it.

They have delicious cacao nibs, my favourite vegan milk brand -Goodmylk, a variety of herbal teas, eco-friendly and bio degradable shampoos and detergents and a lovely array of pet products.

I don’t even mind going out of my way to stop by here for all my health food needs.

Really commend this place for their vast variety of fresh produce and other products.
