Mission

At Nuvedo, we're committed to bringing the healing benefits of functional mushrooms to the people and the planet, through highest quality products and services, setting the standard for mushroom wellness in India.

Vision

To be India's premier and most trusted mushroom brand, establishing ourselves as thought leaders in the realm of functional fungi.

A half-decade-long search for the ultimate food source - its biology, its psychology, and its future, led us to one big, slightly outlandish question: What if the ultimate food source has been growing quietly under our feet this whole time?
We wanted something nutrient-dense, sustainable, regenerating, and resilient enough to survive global shutdowns. Something that could even repair ecosystems. Enter mushrooms. Enter extracts.
While India stayed stuck on button mushrooms, we went down the mycelial rabbit hole - experimenting with medicinal, gourmet, and exotic species, studying their bioactive compounds, nutrient cycles etc.
That journey became Nuvedo. 
Today, we’re spearheading India’s Mushroom Revolution, bringing functional mushrooms into everyday health.
Spore to extract - our fully vertically integrated process keeps things clean, potent, and transparent.
But beyond products, we’re building a wild, curious myco-community of growers, foragers, artists, and fungi-obsessed explorers.
Well, because mushrooms aren’t just food
they open up new ways of thinking about resilience, regeneration, care, and wellness
We at Nuvedo, we believe that, fungi are
the future of our world, in more ways than one.
