About Company

Incorporated in 2017, Millet Amma has a vision to offer millet-based products to the world. The idea was conceived in our founder, Ruchika Bhuwalka’s kitchen, when she had the arduous task of switching her family’s diet to a healthier millet-based one.

With the majority of our modern diet consisting of refined grains grown using harmful agricultural practices- more people are falling ill and have become heavily dependent on medication. Ruchika is a firm believer that food can be medicine, and was looking for healthier carbohydrate alternatives. Through her research she came upon the marvelous world of millets. She wanted to bring this ancient crop, that was once a staple, back to its former prominence.

While trying to incorporate this phenomenal grain into her family's diet, Ruchika saw how challenging it was to include millets and acclimatize tastebuds that were so accustomed to rice and wheat. This inspired her to develop recipes to make it easier for families to include tasty millet dishes and even satisfy the pickiest of palates, so they too can experience the benefits of millets.

Ruchika’s mission was driven by millets being not only healthy, but also beneficial to the environment and economy of the farmer community. She started developing recipes to offer millet-based alternatives to accommodate various cuisines and dietary preferences- so that more people can start consuming millets as their staple. This is where our name ‘Millet Amma’ comes from. It was the endearing nickname given to her by her husband because of all the millet meals she keeps creating.

We've come a long way from supplying batters to family and friends from Ruchika's kitchen, to today where we’ve taken an omni-channel approach for distribution from where we serve several families in India and around the world. Our millet product line currently comprises nearly 40 SKUs including batters, mixes, pizza base, lavash, cookies, grains, flours, and more, that have been created from this home maker’s heart.
