01 / The Realisation

Fourteen years away from home, one problem kept repeating.

Hostel rooms, PG kitchens, rented flats in cities that kept changing — but one scene followed Deepak everywhere: a vegetable going soft in the back of the fridge, and a packet of instant noodles eaten without the vegetables it was made for.

It wasn't laziness, it was time. Nobody moving between a 9-hour workday and a new city has twenty minutes to peel, chop, and wash a vegetable for a two-minute meal — so people skipped it, or bought it and watched it rot. Deepak saw it in his own kitchen first, then everywhere around him.

02 / The Catalyst

The question that started it all

“If noodles can sit in a pantry for months and be ready in two minutes — why can't a vegetable?”

That question followed him through a B.Tech degree and an MBA from one of Pune's most respected institutes — and the answer always came back to the same root cause: fresh vegetables were never built for a life this busy. So he decided to rebuild them.

03 / The Innovation

From a kitchen problem to Sukhauta

Could a vegetable be dried down to its essentials, sealed in a jar, and brought back to life with just a minute in hot water? It could — and that became Sukhauta.

Up to 1 Year

Shelf Life

Keeps on your pantry shelf with no fridge and zero spoilage.

60 Seconds

Hot Water Prep

Ready in one minute to drop into curries, sabzi, or noodles.

Zero Waste

No Peeling or Prep

No knife, no cutting board, and nothing ever thrown away.

A minute in hot water, and it's ready — straight into that same packet of noodles, a curry, or a quick sabzi.

04 / Social Impact

Not his first time building something that matters

Cowrganic Initiative

Deepak is also the founder of Cowrganic, which works with and empowers over 80 women from rural communities, training them to craft products from cow dung into sustainable livelihoods.

Outside of business, he’s also spent years quietly working as a social activist — work he’s never looked to publicize.

80+ Women Empowered
The Philosophy Behind It All
“Sukhauta isn't about reinventing food — it's about giving people back the twenty minutes they didn't have, without asking them to give up on eating well.”
— Dr. Deepak Chourasia Vedkia Industries

Today, as Founder & Managing Director of Vedkia Industries Pvt Ltd, Deepak builds Sukhauta around the same instinct that started it all:

“Notice the problem everyone else has learned to live with, and simply fix it.”
