In a world constantly seeking balance and well-being, wherein many of us seek a more holistic approach to health and self-care, Meraki Essentials offers a natural pathway to rejuvenation and harmony for the mind, body, and soul. With a focus on purity, sustainability, and the therapeutic benefits of pure essential oils, Meraki Essentials has become a go-to choice for those seeking to enhance their lives through the power of nature's essences. Originating in Delhi in 2016, Meraki Essentials is a family owned aromatherapist-run venture driven by a profound affinity for nature and a passion for alternative and holistic medicine. Co-founded by the visionary Chaturvedi trio (Shishir, Shobha, and Shubhra), the firm embodies the Greek term 'Meraki,' signifying the infusion of creativity, effort, and boundless love into each endeavour. Managing both the Meraki Essentials and Ajneya Naturals brands, the founders ardently champion an extensive array of offerings, including essential oils, carrier oils, artisanal soaps infused with hand blended essential oils, and beeswax candles.

Over 25 years of relationship with essential oils, exporting to many countries, attending international essential oil conferences, and building relationships in the essential oil world across the globe, Shishir Chaturvedi realized that although almost a quarter of the world's essential oils come from India, not even 2 percent of India's population knows about the benefits that can be reaped utilizing essential oils. With this discovery, the urge to start this venture began. In a casual conversation to launch this venture, he toyed with the idea with his family for helping him set up the business. His wife & daughter agreed instantly. It has been seven years since then, and the journey continues. While Shishir focuses on sourcing the finest-quality essential oils for discerning customers, Shobha has a secure awareness of wellness and spiritual principles and believe in age-old naturopathic herbal remedies. The daughter, Shubhra Chaturvedi, a certified essential oil specialist (International Association of Aromatherapists), a trained yoga teacher, & a breathwork trainer, continues to pursue her journey in holistic wellness.

“Since ancient times, essential oils have been used in Indian medicine, with plants and flowers used for extraction. Big corporations often seek recipes that fit everyone to maximize volume. But we believe each individual is wired differently and entitled to work out what's best for them. For us, what is of utmost importance is making customers happy by spreading the goodness & benefits of essential oils and bringing the purest essential oils to the customer because only pure essential oils will give the kind of benefit they are supposed to, which is further backed by the consistency in what we say and do today and always”, says Shishir.

"We only offer such products to the customer that we, as a family of three generations, can use ourselves, which is the guiding principle behind every endeavor of Meraki Essentials. What matters is that we would do what we believe in, and the journey has to be beautiful”, says Shobha.

and yoga practice to chakra alignment and ambiance creation in homes or workplaces. Furthermore, these oils can elevate moods. The pivotal factor, however, lies in the selection of genuinely pure and natural essential oils; synthetic alternatives cannot replicate the effects.

The diffusion of pure essential oils purifies the air and instills a serene atmosphere within homes or workspaces.

The captivating fragrances of pure essential oils contribute to their surging popularity. Meraki Essential Oils boasts an eclectic range of these fragrant and unadulterated essential oils, each bearing distinctive attributes and benefits. Lavender, renowned for its calming properties, soothes the mind and induces relaxation. The invigorating zest of citrus oils - Lemon, Bergamot, Orange, Grapefruit, and Petitgrain - rejuvenates and uplifts the spirit. Eucalyptus, fresh aroma, serves as a stalwart in respiratory support. Cedarwood and Vetiver, exuding warm, woody, earthy notes, evoke inner tranquility. Meanwhile, the delicate floral bouquet of pure roses encapsulates romance in its purest form.
