It Started With Two People Who
Couldn’t Figure Out Breakfast.
Pune has a way of pulling people in from everywhere and giving them exactly one thing in common — a morning that moves too fast.
Two cities. One identical problem.
Joydeep left the slow, calm life of Sibsagar in Assam — where breakfast is a ritual, not a race — for the relentless pace of Pune’s manufacturing and business world. Aditya traded Bhilai’s easy mornings for an MBA at Symbiosis, where every hour was scheduled, optimised, and accounted for. Except the first one.
Two people. Two cities. One identical problem.
No time to cook. Local food — delicious, but heavy. So they did what every health-conscious person eventually does. They switched to oats.
Big mistake.
Plain oats tasted like cardboard. The protein options on the market were mostly whey-based — which meant bloating, discomfort, and that specific feeling of having made the wrong call before 9am. Somewhere in all of that, a question started nagging: why was nobody making a proper plant-protein oat for Indian mornings?
So they started trying to make one themselves.
Small kitchens. Honest feedback. A lot of bad batches.
They weren’t food scientists. They were two people with a problem, a kitchen, and friends willing to be guinea pigs — some voluntarily, some significantly less so.
They tested. Failed. Adjusted. Repeated. Somewhere between the batches that didn’t work and the feedback that actually stung, something started coming together.
A meal that was light. Easy to digest. Real plant protein. And — critically — something people actually wanted to eat again the next morning.
That became Super Oats.
“Even though you’re figuring out your life — at least your breakfast should be sorted.”
The morning two strangers became part of the story
During our 30-day street stall challenge — ten locations across Pune, early mornings, real conversations with real customers — we set up in Koregaon Park on what started as an ordinary day.
Raj and Rushi bought oats. Paid. Left.
That evening, they called.
They wanted to meet. They had done their research — not just on the product, but on where it was being manufactured, how the supply chain worked, what the digital presence could become. They came with ideas. Sharp ones. The kind that come from people who’ve thought about something carefully before opening their mouths.
Raj brings a background in manufacturing — it runs in his family — and a precise analytical instinct that’s helped us understand our operations more clearly. Rushi brings deep expertise in AI and technology, and the same rigour applied to a completely different problem set. Both of them are Gen-AI developers who saw what we were building and decided to be part of it.
They walked into Koregaon Park as customers. They stayed as part of the team.
Four people. One shared obsession with fixing Indian mornings.
We’re not a corporate brand with a backstory written by a PR agency. We’re four people in Pune who found a problem, built a solution, took it to the streets, and kept going.

Because the problem is real.
Because every morning in this country, millions of people start their day on the wrong foot — rushed, under-fuelled, or with something that makes them feel worse than before they ate.
We built Super Oats because we needed it ourselves. Because mornings are hard enough. Because your gut deserves better than something that bloats you before your first meeting. Because there’s enough chaos in a day without breakfast being part of it.
Even though you’re figuring out your life — at least your breakfast should be sorted.
