Our Story
From an inspired kitchen table idea back in 2019 to becoming the UK's first fresh, direct and 100% plant-based Indian food delivery service.
Our Journey
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut elit tellus, luctus nec ullamcorper mattis, pulvinar dapibus leo.
Combining traditional Punjabi home-style cooking with modern gastronomy, we’re on a mission to share the Giyan (wisdom) of plant-based eating. Our team prides itself on bringing the freshest of foods, the fullest of flavours and best of health to all.
The wisdom of eating more plants is all around. It’s more sustainable. More nutritious. More healthy. Learn about our path to wisdom and how we are spreading compassion and contentment along the way.

A bit about Indi & Balkar
Indi and Balkar run an organic farm in rural Oxfordshire, but their origins stretch right back to the Punjab in India, where their foremothers and forefathers were farmers who lived solely on the plants they raised. Now that rich cultural history of living in harmony with the land is at the very heart of what we do.
We’re on a pioneering foodie adventure to prove that 100% plant-based cuisine really does have something for everyone.
Mission Statement
Spreading our message of compassion & contentment
At V-GIYAN, we are advocates for natural produce and vegan wisdom that awakens contentment and compassion. Our decision to be 100% plant based and use only natural ingredients is based on three clear, proven points:
- It delivers better quality food
- It promotes better health
- It’s better for our planet
Mother Earth needs our help and time is of the essence. Even the smallest change, like a meat-free day, will help make a significant difference if enough of us care to do it.
Let’s change the future of our planet and our food… together.
