Purva Naturals, an esteemed organic brand, has emerged as a shining example of excellence in the organic industry. With a humble beginning a decade ago, the company has successfully combined traditional values with innovative techniques to offer pure, organic, and cold-pressed oils. The inception of Purva Naturals can be traced back to Raja Sankar, the founder of the company, who made a remarkable career shift from being a Director at Cognizant Technology Solutions to becoming an organic farmer. Inspired by a desire to create a more meaningful impact, Raja embarked on a journey to explore the world of organic farming. During his exploration, Raja received positive feedback about the quality of his products from friends and acquaintances. Encouraged by their words, he decided to step into the market and establish Purva Naturals. The company's focus was to keep the oil extraction process simple and maintain the highest standards of quality.

to oil production. Rather than complicating the process with excessive technology, the compa ny strives to keep things simple. Purva Naturals takes pride in nurturing its farmers and providing them with a platform for marketing their organic produce. This approach ensures the sustainability of the organic supply chain and fosters a mutually beneficial relationship between the company and its suppliers.
To deliver the best quality oils, Purva Naturals invested in proprietary technology. Raja, along with his friend Ravi, designed a unique slow-moving rotor that ensures oils are crushed at a controlled temperature below 50 degrees Celsius. This specialized machine preserves essential nutrients and meets the standards set by European guidelines for cold-pressed oils. “By combining traditional practices with innovative techniques, we can successfully meet the expectations of modern consumers”, adds Raja Sankar.

Starting with organic coconuts, the company expanded its product range to include sesame and groundnut oils. Despite its growth, Purva Naturals remains dedicated to affordability and maintaining the highest quality standards.
