The story of Svástya

“You are what you eat.”

Like many of us, I was swept up in the hustle and bustle of a fast-moving life. I hardly paid attention to what I ate, if it had the nutrients essential for my well-being. For me, eating was just another task to check off my to-do list. Looking back, I realize how misguided that mindset was.

Things began to change after my marriage. I was fortunate to have a partner who prioritized healthy eating habits. His awareness about food and nutrition deeply influenced me. The transformation became even more profound when I conceived. Determined to give my best to my little one, I started eating mindfully—ensuring my meals were healthy, balanced, and nutrient-rich every day. Through this journey, I realized that eating nutritious food isn’t just a choice; it’s a way of life. While it may not guarantee a longer life, it certainly ensures a better and healthier one.

During my postpartum phase, I began reflecting on the importance of proper nutrition for mothers during this critical time. I asked myself how we could ensure that mothers receive the nourishment they need, and how they can provide the same for their newborns, giving them the best start in life. This led to an even broader question: how can we create an environment where children grow up surrounded by healthy food choices?

As the saying goes, “Charity begins at home.” It must start with those who matter the most—mothers. This realization sparked the idea for Svástya.

With the unwavering support of my husband and friends, I founded Svástya in 2024 to turn this vision into reality. Svástya is dedicated to providing products that are rich in nutrition and services that inspire and enable a healthier way of living.
