Meet the Team!
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."
Nitik Thapa
Co-founder
I lead the brand design and structure.
"If my role were a drink, it would be a white tea. Light and refreshing."
Zoe
Creative Lead
I design branded visuals for Himalayan Blends, including merchandise, and social media content that reflects the company's values and origin. My work helps visually tell the story of our Nepali-sourced coffee and connect with our growing community.
"If my role were a drink, it would be a lavender coconut cold brew. I'm bold, creative, and a little unexpected. I bring refreshing ideas with a calming aesthetic, but still pack a caffeine punch when it's time to deliver."
Vasanth
Software Engineer
I help build and improve our web tools and apps to enhance the customer experience, while also supporting analytics and SEO to better reach and serve our audience.
"Me and my mug have commitment issues - coffee, tea, chai, matcha... anything, everything, as long as it keeps me going."
Sayush Shakya
Field Research & Stakeholder Insights Intern
I help in managing both countries communication and manage teams. Making sure the work gets done with the outsourcing team.
"I drink tea even in summer"
Timothy
Sales & Partnership Representative
I connect Himalayan Blends to the marketplace and introduce them into communities where Nepalese coffee and tea is still being discovered.
"I would be cup of Aeropressed coffee. 25 grams of medium grind coffee brewed @ 195*F for 3 minutes for an exceptional batch of brew. "
Lennox Jeffries
Digital Content & Social Media Strategist
I help plan and come up with content ideas, as well as figure out how to improve current content ideas. I also help improve our socials and along with the rest of the marketing team think of ways to improve it.
"A caramel iced latte. It’s familiar to most but you can always add something to make it more creative."
Kazi Nahian Haider Amlan

I partner with our roasters to share the story behind each blend and bring their craft to life through PR and collaborations.
"I can turn a “we’re just roasting coffee” moment into a full brand story."
Aashrut
Supply Chain Intern
I help the team to navigate through supply chain issues faced in the high altitude coffee sourcing.
“I’d be an espresso, small but concentrated with knowledge, ready to give you a powerful shot of clarity whenever you need it.”
