Meet the Founders!

Nitesh Kapuri

Founder

I lead the vision and strategy for Himalayan Blends, making sure every product tells a meaningful story. From sourcing to storytelling, I work closely with our team to build a brand rooted in purpose, purity, and heritage.

"If my role were a drink, it would be a single-origin pour-over coffee — rare, intentional, and rooted in purpose. Like my role, it brings out the best of where it comes from and connects people through craft and story."
