About Naanke

Grandma’s wisdom. Made for today.

Naanke brings the comfort and wisdom of home-style cooking into modern life. Inspired by recipes passed down through generations, we combine familiar flavours and thoughtful ingredients with modern preservation to make nourishing food more convenient and accessible.

Our mission

To bring the comfort of traditional home-style food into modern life through thoughtful ingredients and modern preservation.

Our vision

To make the wisdom and warmth of home cooking accessible to more people, wherever life takes them.

For the crews, camps and groups we supply, “wherever life takes them” is a ship’s galley, a mine camp or a mountain trail: places where a home-cooked meal is hardest to find.

Why choose Naanke

Built to make your service easier

01
It tastes like real food, never a packet

We cook the actual recipe in a real kitchen, then freeze-dry the finished dish. Boiling water brings back a proper hot meal.

02

Preserved freshness

12-month shelf, no refrigeration. Stock that never rots.

03

Consistent quality

Made the same way every batch under GMP and HACCP, so taste and portion stay reliable.

04

Quick & effortless

Hot water, ten minutes, served. No chef, no chopping.

05

No kitchen required

If you have a kettle, you have a kitchen.

06

Nothing thrown away

Open only what you serve. The rest stays sealed on the shelf.

Responsibility & impact

Our commitment to sustainable development

Crews at sea, workers at remote sites and groups on the move all need real, familiar food far from a kitchen. Solving that well means our work aligns with four UN Sustainable Development Goals.

SDG 2: Zero Hunger

A real meal where food is hardest to get

Freeze-drying keeps the nutrition of a freshly cooked meal, and boiling water is all it needs. That puts a complete Indian vegetarian meal within reach on a ship, at a remote site or on a trail, where fresh food is hardest to get.

SDG 8: Decent Work & Economic Growth

Feeding the workforce far from home

Seafarers, site workers and camp crews keep economies running from places most people never see. A proper, familiar meal matters to their wellbeing and morale. On the supply side, our work helps small Indian food manufacturers reach international markets, creating economic opportunity from Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra to the world.

SDG 12: Responsible Consumption

We don't ship water

Freeze-drying removes the water, so the same dal makhani that weighs a full portion in a retort pack weighs a fraction in our format. Add a 12-month ambient shelf life, preservative free, and open only what you serve: a format built to reduce waste at every stage.

SDG 13: Climate Action

No cold chain to power

Meals that need no fridge or freezer at any point, from the facility to the plate, take refrigeration out of the supply chain. Less weight per unit also means lower fuel use and fewer shipments.

How we work

Made with care, and made to last

Made in an FSSAI-licensed, GMP-certified, US FDA-registered facility in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. A 100% vegetarian facility. Real ingredients, slow-cooked, then freeze-dried, checked against a fixed spec under GMP and HACCP, and sealed to keep for twelve months with no cold chain.
