About Us

Zesty grew out of a simple belief: dips should taste fresh, bold, and real. We wanted flavours that felt alive, not heavy, not mayo-loaded, and not the usual supermarket stuff.

So we started crafting globally inspired dips for the modern Indian palate, using honest ingredients and clean recipes. Every batch is small, every flavour is balanced, and everything is made to feel light, vibrant, and easy to pair with the food you already love.

What this adds up to is straightforward: dips that lift a meal instead of masking it.

Zesty is just getting started. The menu will grow in phases, but the idea stays the same — flavour first, always.

THE BRAND STORY

A taste of home. A touch of the world.

Zesty didn’t start with a big business plan. It started at home.

I had just come back from Dubai after finishing my master’s, still figuring out what I wanted to do next. My dad, who has spent more than three decades in the hospitality world, kept doing what he always does, talking about food, flavour, and how people connect over it.

One evening, we were sitting together, and the topic drifted to dips. India had plenty of them, but most of what you’d find on shelves tasted the same, mayo-heavy, thick, and predictable. Meanwhile, flavours from around the world were taking off everywhere else.
It made us wonder: why shouldn’t Indian homes have access to those cleaner, brighter, global-style dips too?

That question stuck. And slowly, it turned into an idea.

There was no fancy kitchen. It was just the two of us experimenting at home. I’d make a batch, he’d taste it, suggest a tiny change, and we’d go again. Some recipes worked, some didn’t, but every version got us a little closer to something that felt right, flavourful, honest, and suited to the way we eat here.

That’s how Zesty was born.
Not imported. Not mass-produced.
Just crafted slowly, with intention.

What Makes Zesty Different

Every dip is built with intention:

  • Real ingredients that let the flavour shine

  • No mayo base, so everything feels lighter and clearer

  • Small batches to keep the taste consistent

  • Global inspiration, but tailored for Indian taste and habits

Who Zesty Is For

  • For people who care about flavour.
  • For families who like trying something new without stepping too far from home.
  • For anyone who wants their food to feel a little more alive.

The Vision

Zesty isn’t just about hummus-based dips. It’s about a movement of bringing global flavour experiences to India, in a way India loves.

And someday?
Zesty aims to take these uniquely Indian-tailored flavours back to the world, closing the loop, one jar at a time.

The Heart of It

Zesty didn’t begin in a boardroom. It grew out of conversations at home, shared memories, and a deep love for food that carries a sense of place. A father’s years of experience and a son’s curiosity came together with one simple intent: "to let flavour tell its own story."

Each dip is crafted to reflect where it comes from. When you taste it, you don’t just notice the ingredients, you feel the character of the region behind it. The warmth, the balance, the familiar notes that make that cuisine what it is.

It’s not about copying flavours. It’s about capturing their soul and shaping them so they feel right on your plate.

Not just taste.
A sense of place.

Taste it once, and it feels like it belongs, as if it’s always been part of your table.
