CHACHA’S Pickle enters the Indian market

At a time when speed has replaced patience and convenience has overtaken craft, CHACHA’S, a heritage-inspired food brand from Mohali, Punjab, has officially entered the Indian market with a mission to revive the disappearing art of traditional chulha-to-jar pickling, aiming to bring its slow-cooked flavors to 10 million people across India.

Rooted in ancestral Punjabi recipes, CHACHA’S manages every step entirely in-house at Sohal’s residency from hand-selecting ingredients and whole spices to slow cooking, natural ageing, and final packaging. This end-to-end approach ensures uncompromised quality, consistency, and authenticity in every jar.

What sets CHACHA’S apart in an industry often challenged by hygiene and sourcing concerns is its family-led model  . With no external labour involved, the founding family oversees every stage from sourcing and cooking to packaging, label design, and even the website. Hygiene is not just a compliance requirement but a personal commitment: the same pickles sold to consumers are enjoyed by the founders’ children. This dedication is reflected in strong consumer loyalty, with 60–70% of customers returning for repeat purchases.

Even before its market debut, CHACHA’S successfully defended a trademark challenge from ITC under Class 29 in 2018–19, underscoring the brand’s integrity and long-term vision.

Founded by the chacha–bhatija duo Manpreet Singh and Ravinder Singh, CHACHA’S revives homestyle pickles made using time-honoured methods once common in Punjabi households. Unlike mass-produced condiments, every jar begins on a slow-burning flame, allowing spices to bloom naturally and flavours to mature patiently. 

“Facing a trademark objection early on taught us the importance of building a brand the right way from day one,” said Manpreet Singh, Founder, CHACHA’S. “We didn’t just want to sell a product; we wanted to preserve a memory. Our goal is to keep the fire of traditional pickling alive.”

“We take it straight from the stove to the jar,” added Ravinder Singh, Co-Founder, CHACHA’S. “It’s not just a pickle, it's a piece of home that time couldn’t change. We’re bringing the village to the city, one jar at a time.”

Beyond tradition, CHACHA’S is redefining pickles as a new-age snacking category rather than just a side dish. The brand aims to build a strong community of consumers who value authenticity and flavour, with the long-term vision to become India’s most trusted homestyle pickle brand, known for ethical practices and uncompromising quality from kitchen to consumer.
