About Us

Millet Matters began with a powerful idea — to reconnect people with grains that truly matter. We weren’t just bringing millets back for nostalgia’s sake — we were building something practical, purposeful, and rooted in today’s reality.

While our inspiration lies in the past, everything we do is made for the present — and the future. Our ready-to-cook formats are designed to help you eat cleaner without overthinking it. No maida. No preservatives. No complicated prep. Just honest, millet-based meals that actually fit into modern life.

We focus on Positive Millets — like Kodo, Foxtail, Little, and Barnyard — known for their gut health benefits, low glycemic index, and nutrient density. These grains are our foundation — and everything we create is built around preserving their integrity. Alongside them, we also work with neutral millets like Jowar and Ragi, which offer excellent versatility and nutrition. It's not about purity — it’s about balance, intention, and making millets work for real life.

Millet Matters isn’t just about what’s inside the pack. It’s about what that pack stands for: clean food, cultural pride, everyday convenience, and long-term health — for you, for farmers, and for the planet.

Because millets have always mattered. We’re just making sure they matter more — now, and for the future.

Meet the Founders

Parth parikh

As a Chartered Accountant, Parth Parikh spent years evaluating businesses through the lens of the 3Ps — People, Planet, and Profit. But over time, he began asking deeper questions -  not just about business models, but about the food systems that fuel them. What if food could deliver on all three? What if it could nourish people, support the planet, and still be economically viable - especially for Indian farmers, producers, and everyday consumers?That question led Parth to a fourth P: Positive Millets. Nutrient-dense, climate-resilient, and culturally rooted, these ancient grains had nourished India for generations — yet quietly faded from modern diets. Millets weren’t new - they were necessary. But they lacked visibility, convenience, and relevance in today's world.That’s where Millet Matters was born — from a vision to take something truly Indian in origin and reintroduce it to the world in its most modern, meaningful form. For Parth, this wasn’t a career pivot — it was a purpose-driven pursuit to make food that honours health, heritage, and the future — all in one bite.

Aparna Bhatt

While modern science is rediscovering millets, Aparna Bhatt has been advocating them for over 25+ years. A dedicated researcher in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Astrology, she has spent decades guiding patients through food — not just as nutrition, but as a form of everyday healing. For her, millets were never a trend; they were tools of transformation.Through years of practice, she saw how millet-based diets could help manage lifestyle disorders, restore balance, improve gut health, and reduce dependency on medication. Her holistic clinic became a space where ancient wisdom met practical recovery — and millets were often at the heart of that healing.With Millet Matters, Aparna brings this deep therapeutic understanding to a wider audience — turning time-tested dietary principles into accessible, ready-to-cook solutions. Her role isn’t just scientific or advisory; it’s foundational. She ensures that what we make isn’t just convenient or delicious — it’s something that truly matters.
