Our First Year at Kaaram OK Please: A Little Heat, A Lot of Heart 🌶️

kaaramokplease Admin

March 2025 marked the beginning of something very close to our hearts — the official start of sales for Kaaram OK Please. What followed has been a year of learning, experimenting, travelling, meeting incredible people, and watching our jars find their way into kitchens across India.

Here’s a little round-up of what this first chapter has looked like for us.

Where Our Kaaram Travelled

In less than a year, KOP made its way into retail stores across:

  • Bangalore

  • Coonoor

  • Coimbatore

  • Goa

  • Cochin

  • Chennai

  • Pondicherry

  • Auroville

Seeing our products sit proudly on shelves in so many food-forward cities has been deeply affirming.

Pop-ups, Exhibitions & On-Ground Love

We took KOP on the road and showed up — jars, stories and all — at exhibitions and pop-ups in:

  • Chennai

  • Bangalore

  • Hyderabad

  • Bombay

  • Cochin

  • Pondicherry

  • Auroville

Some of our most exciting moments came from two incredibly successful gym pop-ups, where bold flavours met strong communities. We’re definitely doing more of these in the new year.

By the Numbers (So Far!)

  • 600+ bottles and jars sold

  • 150 Deepavali hampers delivered (our very first festive season!)

  • 40 Kutti Kaaram boxes sent out

  • 25 Christmas hampers wrapped, packed, and shipped with care

Each one felt personal — because it was.

On the Menu

We’re proud to work directly with 3 cafés, where KOP products are now part of their menus. Seeing our flavours used creatively by chefs and baristas has been one of the quiet joys of this year.

The Best Part: You

We’ve received countless messages of love, thoughtful feedback, and enthusiastic reviews, along with something that means everything to a young brand — repeat customers who keep coming back for more heat.

Looking Ahead

This year taught us patience, resilience, and the power of doing things slowly and honestly. As we head into the new year, we’re excited to do more pop-ups, collaborate deeper, and keep building a modern Indian pantry rooted in heritage, fermentation, and bold flavour.

Thank you for being part of our first year.
This is just the beginning.
