Nitakshi was born out of curiosity, concern, and deep research into what we consume every day.
Both founders came from different professional backgrounds, yet one question remained constant in daily life — “The oil we use every day, what exactly is it made of and how is it produced?” People often say, “Village oil is the best.” To truly understand this belief, we traveled to our village and closely observed how oil was traditionally made.

What we discovered was eye-opening. Even in villages, most oils were being produced using oil expellers that operate at high heat, resulting in a burnt, smoky smell that overpowered the natural aroma of the seeds.To verify whether authentic cold-pressed oil still existed, we traveled across different parts of India and visited multiple units claiming to produce cold-pressed oils.

We found that nearly 95% of so-called cold-pressed oils were actually hot-pressed, and in some cases, chemically processed to increase yield.

During deeper research, we uncovered the true meaning of “Kacchi Ghani,” which refers to true cold pressing — a slow extraction process that preserves nutrition and aroma. Authentic cold pressing is only possible using a traditional wooden churner operated at low RPM, where minimal heat is generated.
After extensive research and trials, we chose the traditional wooden cold-pressed method, using premium-grade seeds, low RPM extraction, and no chemicals or excessive heat.Nitakshi is a commitment to purity, honesty, and traditional wisdom — crafted for modern, health-conscious families.

— The Problem We Saw

The Indian Oil

Market Was

Broken.

The label says "cold pressed." The bottle shows a golden farm. Inside? Oil extracted at 180°C with hexane solvent, then bleached and deodorised to erase the evidence. Most Indian families have been deceived for decades.

This gap — between what people paid for and what they actually got — is the entire reason Nitakshi exists. We built this brand to fix one thing: to make traditionally processed food accessible, affordable, and verifiable.

95%

of "cold pressed" oils in India
are heat-processed or solvent-extracted

01

The Labelling Lie

FSSAI permits oils extracted at up to 120°C to be labelled "cold pressed." We press at ambient temperature — no heat generated at all. We publish temperature logs for every batch.

02

The Solvent Secret

Over 80% of commercial oil brands use hexane solvent to maximise yield. It leaves chemical traces in your oil. Every Nitakshi batch is third-party tested for zero solvent residue.

03

The Nutrient Destruction

Heat processing destroys Omega-3, Omega-6, Vitamin E, and glucosinolates. You buy "healthy" oil and receive an empty calorie vehicle. Our cold-press preserves the full natural profile.

04

The Farmer Exploitation

Spot-market procurement crushes farmer margins. Nitakshi pays pre-agreed annual prices before harvest — so farmers can plan, plant with confidence, and grow without fear.

— Our Mission

To Put Real Food
Back on the Table.

Every Indian family deserves cooking ingredients that are exactly what they claim to be — free of solvents, chemicals, and industrial deception. We exist to make traditional, honest food the default, not the exception.

— Why Choose Nitakshi

What Makes Us

Actually Different

Every organic brand says "pure" and "traditional." Here — precisely and verifiably — is how we differ from every other bottle on the shelf.

Real Wooden Ghani. Every Single Batch.

We press in a traditional wooden kolhu at 20–25 RPM. Commercial expellers run at 150–200 RPM, generating destructive heat. We can show you the video of every pressing on request.

Verifiable Process

You Know Which Farm Your Oil Came From.

Every bottle carries a farm code. Scan it to see the farmer's name, location, harvest date, and the price we paid them. Radical traceability — not a marketing line.

Full Traceability

Zero Heat. Temperature-Logged,.

We log temperature on every pressing. Our oil never exceeds ambient temperature — typically 24–28°C. .Scan any bottle code to check Batch temperature records

Temperature Logged

Pressed Fresh. Never Warehoused.

We press on a rolling 30-day schedule. Large brands manufacture months ahead and warehouse. Your oil is alive, not stored. Pressing date printed on every bottle.

Always Fresh

No Solvents. No Bleaching. No Exceptions.

Hexane, bleaching agents, deodorisers — none of it touches our oil. Third-party lab tests for solvent residue are published for every batch. Zero means zero.

Lab Certified

The Farmer Gets Paid First. Always.

We pay farmers before receiving goods — locked annual contracts, not spot-market rates. When our costs rise, we absorb them first. Farmers' livelihoods are not a variable in our spreadsheet.
