Founder Journey

“It started with my search for the Real Hapus. Every mango season, while buying Alphonso mangoes in the market, I often wondered whether the mangoes being sold as Hapus were genuinely from the right variety and region. That curiosity led me to look beyond the market and find the source myself.”

Founder Journey

This is the journey of Behest of Nature — from the source, with integrity.

It started with my search for the Real Hapus. Every mango season, while buying Alphonso mangoes in the market, I often wondered whether the mangoes being sold as Hapus were genuinely from the right variety and region. That curiosity led me to look beyond the market and find the source myself.

I travelled to Ratnagiri in the Konkan, visited mango orchards, met the farmers and experienced the mango season at its source. I saw how authentic Alphonso is grown, harvested, sorted, graded and naturally ripened on the farm.

I also became aware of the use of calcium carbide for artificial ripening, a practice that I did not want associated with the food I offered to my customers.

That is where Behest of Nature began.

I wanted to bring food to people through a more direct and transparent connection with its source — working with farmers and producers rather than simply buying through conventional market channels.

With our fresh Alphonso mangoes, we source directly from trusted orchards in the GI-recognised Ratnagiri and Devgad regions, where the mangoes are sorted, graded and naturally ripened before being packed and sent to you.

Naturally ripened. Calcium-carbide free. Direct from the orchard.

For me, it is equally important that the farmer benefits from the value of what they grow and that consumers receive products they can trust.

What began with my search for the real Hapus has now taken me across Bharat, discovering foods that are authentic to their region, grown naturally and connected to the people who grow them.
