Meet the Founders.
Mrs. Bandana Sharma
Founder & CEO
Bandana witnessed firsthand the incredible vitality of traditional diets managed by older generations. Moving to urban hubs, she realized pure, ancestral staples were buried under commercialized synthetic alternatives. She built Karnella to change that paradigm.
To build India's most trusted ancestral nutrition house — one that protects biodiverse crops, empowers farming communities, and sets an uncompromising standard for absolute transparency.
Mrs. Madri Sheryl Prabhudas
Co-Founder & CFO
With an extensive background in finance, Madri noted deep vulnerabilities in localized agricultural value chains. She co-founded Karnella to construct an equitable model that rewards smallholders while delivering unadulterated heritage grains to the world.
To prove that ethical business architecture — protecting farmers, planetary ecology, and consumer wellness — is the most sustainable approach to modern food production.

The Bridge.
Karnella was born from a fundamental thesis: India's expansive ancestral food ecosystem isn’t obsolete—it is severely underutilized. The complex wellness solutions needed today don't require synthetic synthesis in isolated bio-labs; they require rediscovery within pure, native ecosystems.
We are building a comprehensive nutrition institution designed to identify hyper-dense native crops, protect their cultivation, and carefully structure them into functional formats suited to modern metabolic requirements.
While Sattu represents our structural blueprint and opening release, our vision encompasses the vast breadth of traditional Indian agricultural biodiversity.
