Ridhima Arora’s keen interest in nutrition and the right kind of food started during her own weight loss journey, where she lost almost 30 kgs in 2 years. However, the problem of wrong foods later affected her personal life through a serious disease, which made her find her way “Back to the Roots” – the natural way of living and diet. It was while running across hospitals for treatment that she realized there was a major gap in understanding nutrition even among dietitians, and a lack of education about the right foods and diet that could help patients get rid of their diseases completely. The founder also found that the “health food fad” industry has made the situation even worse, with products like “healthy oats biscuits” hardly containing any oats, and the dangers of “sugar-free everything” being largely unknown.
So in summary, the founder of Namhya Foods is an individual who, through her own personal health journey and realizations, was inspired to start a company that would provide sustainable and natural food solutions based on Ayurvedic principles.
