ASAVI Revives India's Agricultural Heritage with Stone-Grinding
Anuraj Rana, who used to help big farms in Australia, came back to India to start ASAVI.
He wants to make food healthier by using old stone-grinding methods instead of modern machines that can burn the food.
ASAVI's food keeps all the good stuff in it, like vitamins and natural oils, and doesn't use any bad chemicals.
They are now selling this healthy food all over India and even plan to sell it to other countries.
They also help poor children get good food to eat.
ASAVI, led by Anuraj Rana, is reviving traditional stone-grinding methods to improve food quality in India.
Industrial mills burn grains at high temperatures, whereas ASAVI's cold-milling preserves nutrients and avoids chemical additives.
ASAVI has expanded nationwide and plans to export globally, positioning India as a benchmark for functional, Vedic-standard nutrition.
The company collaborates with Vaani Kavachh to combat nutritional poverty among vulnerable children.
Anuraj Rana's mission is driven by a desire to improve India's food sovereignty and health.
