Shashaiv Enterprises began with a powerful personal transformation when our founder, Shalaka Kadam, chose to leave her familiar life as a homemaker in Mumbai and return to her roots in Devgad. Driven by a mission to build something meaningful from the ground up, she started at age 48 with a modest ₹5 Pepsicola. This foundational chapter was defined by micro-batch learning, mastering taste consistency, and earning local trust one bottle at a time. As the “Home-Led” initiative earned community loyalty, operations professionalized and expanded to celebrate regional heritage, giving rise to authentic Konkan staples like Solkadhi and Natural Kokum Sarbat under our Aparanta brand.
