About Diaspora Co.

Founded by Sana Javeri Kadri

Diaspora Co. sells single-origin and heirloom spices and spice blends sourced directly from small family farms across India and Sri Lanka, from turmeric and black pepper to saffron, cardamom and chillies. Every tin carries a harvest date, ground spices and masalas are milled in small runs, and the company says it pays farm partners several times the commodity price. Sana Javeri Kadri, who grew up in Mumbai, started the brand in 2017 with a single spice, Pragati Turmeric.
