Our "Mama"
Before Mama's Cashews was a business, it was a mother's habit. Her "care packages" are the blueprint for every bag we ship. She isn't just the name on our label. She's the keeper of our quality.
it didn't begin in a boardroom
It began in a travel bag.
For years, our mother couldn't stand the thought of her family settling for the dry, brittle, mass-produced cashews found in big cities. To her, a cashew was a symbol of health and heritage.
Every time she visited, she carried a piece of Kerala with her: bags of the finest, creamiest cashews, hand-picked from local groves she trusted. That "care package" became our standard. We realised everyone deserves that same quality, and so Mama's Cashews was born.

Shriram Pradeep
A data scientist by profession, Shriram brings analytical precision to the world of cashews. He leads vision, marketing and strategy, so the brand can grow without ever losing its soul.
Laya Gangadharan
Laya runs our sourcing on the ground in Kerala. She makes sure every cashew is ethically sourced, traditionally processed and hand-picked. If a batch isn't "Mama-approved", it doesn't leave.
we don't just buy cashews, we choose them
Why Mama's?
The Kerala standard
We source only from Kerala, where the coastal climate and red soil produce naturally sweet, creamy, buttery nuts.
The "Mother's Eye" check
Every batch gets the same scrutiny Mama gave her family's packs. If it isn't Mama-approved, it doesn't make the cut.
Freshness over volume
Small batches keep the natural oils intact, which gives you that signature buttery crunch.
Our vision: to bring the care-package feeling to every home. ♥
