SANA JAVERI KADRI
Sana Javeri Kadri is the founder of Diaspora Co., a direct trade spice company working towards a radically equitable, sustainable, and more delicious spice supply chain.
Born and raised in Mumbai, India amidst a big family of doers, idealists and changemakers, she’s spent her brief 26 years on earth thinking mostly about food - how it grows, who grows it, and who has access to it. She’s also worked just about every job in the food industry from line cook, to farmer, to historical menu researcher.
She founded Diaspora Co. in 2017 as a wild idea that in less than two years has turned into a nationally acclaimed, cult-followed food brand that supports over 100 small Indian farmers and farm laborers, and is setting a new standard for spices.
She currently lives between Mumbai, India, and Oakland, CA with her partner and rescue pitbull pup, Lilly.
