Sreevaidhya Organics
Introducing Chennaiites to the world of “clean eating” this Deepavali is Geethalatha M’s Sreevaidhya Organics. Established in 2021 out of a personal path in finding and consuming organic products at a nominal price. “For any small quantity of any organic product, the price was too much. And I have been consuming organic-based recipes for 16 years. So, what I developed [the recipes] for my personal health should be shared with everyone,” says Geethalatha, a retired English language trainer. This festive season, they are offering a box of ragi sweet made with pure ghee, ragi, nuts, and jaggery, a jar of carrot kheer, semiya payasam, and palkova, along with two decorative clay diyas — curating a gift box that blends taste, health, and tradition, at just Rs 675. Geethalatha says, “Each of the ingredients that goes into each sweet has a story to tell because we use locally-sourced ingredients at a fair price.” The entrepreneur’s Deepavali message, this year, is to “Eat clean and stay healthy.”
