Ms. Manisha Manasvini · Founder & CEO
Leadership
“A nutrition label should read like a promise you can keep. That is the whole business.”
Manisha founded SAMRATHA in Salem after a decade of community nutrition work across the Kongu belt, where she kept meeting the same problem: good local grain, sold with nothing on the pack a mother could trust.
She now leads a team of food technologists, dietitians and field workers who split their week between the test kitchen and the districts it serves.
