The expansion comes at a time when there’s an increasing global appetite for authentic, regional Indian cuisines. KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED is well-positioned to meet this need with a varied product line. Each product is made using time-honoured Goan and Portuguese techniques, ensuring that consumers can experience the culinary heritage of Goa in their own kitchens.
Mrs. Maria Vaz, the founder of KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED, reflecting on the company’s growth, shared, “When I started KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED, my goal was to make authentic Goan cooking accessible to busy families. We’re excited to bring the authentic taste of Goan home cooking to more families with our new factory.”
KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED has built its reputation on a range of over 35 products, including cooking pastes, pure spice powders, seafood pickles, and Goan vegetable pickles. “We’ve always believed in preserving the essence of Goan cuisine,” Mrs. Vaz added. “With our expansion, we are not only expanding our business but also ensuring that Goa’s traditional flavours and cooking techniques survive in modern times.”
The company’s product line includes the famous Cafreal masala- a cooking marinade made from grinding Fresh coriander, Ginger, Garlic and a mix of spices. The Traditional Recheado Masala is made from Red Chillies and Toddy Vinegar, as well as the Famous Goan Coastal Seafood Curry Called the Goa Red Curry, is available in Paste as well as in Powder form. The use of ingredients such as tamarind, jaggery, vinegar, and All-natural spices is crucial not only for Goan cooking but also for providing several health advantages. The distinct flavour sets KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED apart from other products in the market.
One of the noteworthy aspects of KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED is its women-led foundation. Since its inception, the company has been primarily run by women, from production to management. This ethos of women’s empowerment continues with Its Expansion at its new Factory at Verna Industrial Estate in Goa.
KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED is also venturing into new product categories. The company has recently launched a Ready-to-cook gravy range, allowing consumers to prepare rich, aromatic Goan gravies in just two minutes. The products are available in easy-to-use pack sizes of 100gm, 200gm and 400gm. This innovation speaks to the brand’s understanding of modern consumers' needs while staying true to traditional flavours.
The company is looking to expand its supplies to Institutional Buyers with its special 4kg packs as well for all products. It is already a regular supplier to a popular restaurant chain in Germany called ‘Amrit’, serving authentic Goan flavours to European palates. Closer to home, KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED has entered the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) sector, supplying masalas to ‘THE TEMPTATIONS’, a 24/7 café chain in Goa known for its Goan-flavoured sandwiches and burgers.
“Our new factory allows us to reach more people, but our essence remains unchanged,” Mrs. Vaz emphasised. “Every product that leaves our facility carries with it the true taste of Goa - No artificial colours or flavours, No compromises.”
As KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED enters this new phase of growth, it stands as an example of how traditional culinary arts can be preserved and promoted in today’s food industry. With its expanded capacity and commitment to quality, KARMAFOODS PRIVATE LIMITED is ready to provide the authentic taste of Goa to dinner tables across India and around the world.
