#62 East Meets Southwest - Rippy and Sukdev, Khalsa Salsa Meaningful Marketplace Podcast
-
- Business
Indian fusion salsas. Sound new and tempting? Trust us, they are. Rippy and Sukdev have taken Indian spices and blended them with three vegan salsa recipes, classic, black bean and mango habanero. The literal meaning of Khalsa means honesty and is also the name of a religious group meaning the same and reflects honest, hard working way of life. And, as both of them say, it also rhymes! The ingredients reflect this philosophy, they use only wholesome ingredients and the three flavors are vegan. The couple made the recipes for their friends at first and got rave reviews - a common story amongst food company founders. However the big push came when they had a big party of friends who adored their salsa. Unfortunately, they ran out of their own salsa, so Rippy ran down to Costco and bought some national brand and served it. After severe disappointment from their guests, the couple knew they were on to something. Although both had steady jobs they had the hard talk and in June, 2018, they went to the SBA and then came their big moment, talking with our own Sarah Masoni. As they say, "the most valuable one hour we ever had" was spent with Sarah as she walked them through the stages of taking something great from the kitchen and putting it on a grocery shelf while maintaining the magic of its original taste. The couple now has distribution in nearly 20 stores and the reputation is growing.
