IKSVAKU Group

Who we are

Our Story

Made the way our grandparents knew — and delivered to your door.

Why we started

We started IKSVAKU Group after watching something that shouldn't happen — young, healthy people dying of heart attacks. People who exercised, watched what they ate, and still fell to bad cholesterol.

The culprit, more often than not, was the oil in their kitchen.

The problem with refined oil

Refined oils are stripped of everything good. They are processed at high temperatures, bleached, and deodorised until nothing of the original seed remains — only the fat and the damage it quietly does over years of daily cooking.

We knew there was a better way. Our grandparents knew it too. They cooked with cold pressed oils their whole lives — oils extracted slowly, at low temperatures, by wooden presses that have existed in India for centuries. They had strong hearts. They lived long lives. The oil was part of that.

How IKSVAKU Group was born

IKSVAKU Group was born from that realisation.

We make our oils in-house at our facility in Secunderabad, Hyderabad, using two cold press machines and two traditional wooden ghani presses. We source our seeds — sesame, groundnut, coconut, mustard — from trusted farmers across South India, choosing regions known for the best quality of each crop.

What goes into every bottle

Every bottle that leaves our facility is pressed fresh, unrefined, and free of chemicals. What you get is the oil exactly as nature made it — full flavour, full nutrition, and a taste that takes you straight back to your grandmother's kitchen.

We make our oils the way we care for our parents — with patience, attention, and love. That is IKSVAKU Group.

“The oil my grandfather pressed had a smell that told you exactly what was in it. That’s what we’re trying to give back.”
