A New Standard for Clean, Conscious Food

KSKT’s core value proposition is simple yet powerful:
to make chemical-free, naturally grown produce truly accessible, reliable, and affordable.

The company operates across three high-impact verticals:

1. Kisaan Se Kitchen Tak (D2C):
   A direct-to-consumer brand offering traditionally processed staples — bilona ghee, wood-pressed oils, stone-ground spices, flours, grains, honey, and clean-label essentials. Every product respects India’s rich traditional food-processing heritage.
2. Kaze Living (Healthy Lifestyle Marketplace):
   A curated online marketplace featuring premium health-focused brands and gourmet foods. Built around the philosophy “Eat Better, Live Healthy”, Kaze Living offers category-leading healthy alternatives for the modern consumer.
3. Direct Bagaan Se (Farm-to-Business Linkage):
   A modern agricultural supply chain that connects farmer clusters directly to large food processors, modern retail formats, and quick-commerce platforms — ensuring better realization for farmers and consistent quality for businesses.

Recognition and Vision

Speaking about the recognition, Ishaan G. Hukku, Co‑Founder of KSKT, said:

“Being selected for Forbes DGEMS 2025 is a validation of our belief that food should be pure, transparent, and connected to its source. We set out to build a platform that honors both farmers and consumers, and this honor strengthens our resolve to grow deeper, serve wider, and deliver real value. KSKT is more than a business — it’s a bridge between conscious consumption and sustainable food.”

Founder & CEO, Santosh Srivastava, added:

“Sustainability and health are not just trends for us but a way of life. Our model helps farmers thrive, customers trust their food, and communities flourish. This DGEMS recognition inspires us to scale our farmer partnerships, expand into more cities, and educate our consumers on why truly good food matters.”
