DesiNutri: brand naming, identity and packaging architecture for a D2C millet food brand

India's oldest grain, and a generation that had never learned to cook it.

Skandhanshi Agro Foods set out to build a consumer brand around millets, the grain that fed Indian households for generations before convenience quietly moved it off the shelf. BBT partnered with the founders from the ground up, from strategy and naming through to packaging architecture and launch.

Reviving a category is harder than entering one. Millets were not unknown, they were unfashionable, and no brand can argue a household into nostalgia. The job was never to explain the grain. It was to make it look like something a modern kitchen would choose on a Tuesday.
