In 1999, in a home kitchen, Priti S Shah cooked her first paid order: fifty plates, a Jain wedding, a borrowed second oven. Twenty-seven years later, the house runs eight cuisines out of FSSAI-licensed partner kitchens and holds a single discipline: every plate, at every scale, must taste the same.

Kravvia grew event by event. Family weddings became corporate cafeterias. A four-dish Punjabi spread became a Punjabi-Jain-Gujarati-Maharashtrian-Thai-Italian-Chinese-Mexican canon, all vegetarian, all to one standard. In 2012 Jain service moved to a fully isolated kitchen: separate prep, separate utensils.

The mission has not moved. Support and grow women-driven enterprises while cooking the best vegetarian food in Mumbai. Every senior role (on the floor, in operations, in supply chain) is held by a woman. Hire by hire, year by year, since 1999.

“Cooking is the easy part. The hard part is consistency: two hundred plates, identical, on time, hot. That’s the discipline.”

to a house.

    Year 27. A house, not a brand.

Three differentiators

  • A kitchen apart, for Jain.

    A fully isolated Jain kitchen since 2012: separate prep, separate utensils, no roots, no fermented bases. Cross-contamination handled at the policy level, not the prep level.

  • Every senior role, a woman.

    Floor, operations, supply chain. A hire-by-hire policy since 1999, never a campaign.

  • Eight cuisines, one standard.

    Punjabi, Jain, Gujarati, Maharashtrian, Thai, Italian, Chinese, Mexican. All vegetarian, all produced to Kravvia's specification in FSSAI-licensed partner kitchens.
