Jaisingh Vaerkar, Managing Partner, The Peninsular Export Company – Makers of SAARRU. Says, “There were not many soup options in the market, and this gave us an idea for easy to make soup options. SAARRU soup mixes offer the most authentic taste of traditional soups with the goodness of fresh ingredients. Apart from the three non-vegetarian soup mixes currently available, the brand is also working on a variant for vegetarian soups and will make it an instant product with vegetables and mushrooms added in. We are also looking at consumer delivery options and looking at soup kiosks and a vending machine-ready product as well.”

Targeted to woo the young urban youth and working women – who are managing family and work, making traditional soup has become a breeze with SAARRU.
