  • Ep 9: Maya Kaimal - Founder of Best Selling Indian Food Brand in Whole Foods USA
    Nov 13 2024

    In this episode of Indian Diaspora Podcast, we interview Maya Kaimal - the founder of Maya Kaimal foods. In 2003, Maya—Founder, Chief Culinary & Creative Officer— launched her namesake company with her husband, Guy Lawson, out of their Brooklyn apartment after seeing a lack of quality Indian products in grocery stores. Maya personally oversees the creation and curation of her entire collection. Raised in Boston then Boulder, Maya’s passion for food and cooking blossomed at a young age. From watching Julia Child’s The French Chef with her mother, Lorraine, to tasting her father Chandran’s vibrant South Indian dishes—coconut milk-laced fish curries and tamarind-tangy lentil stews—Maya’s interest in food was piqued. Her curiosity in spice, taste and cooking developed during trips to her father’s home in Kerala as Maya learned to cook with her Aunty Kamala. With her collection of family recipes, she worked to create convenient Indian food that tasted as good as homemade. Today, her brand is the best selling Indian Food brand in Whole Foods USA in the pre-packaged Indian Food category. Follow IndianDiaspora.org for more stories:
