From a Simple Idea to a Loved Brand

The story of Oh! So Achari began with Shashi Singh’s love for family recipes. During a visit to Bihar, she was captivated by the colourful jars of achar sold everywhere, but when she tasted them back home, something was missing. That spark pushed her to recreate the pickles in their purest form — handmade, sun-dried, and blended with mustard oil and natural spices, just like grandmothers once made.

What started as a small experiment soon grew into a trusted local brand. Today, Oh! So Achari represents not just food but a journey of tradition meeting entrepreneurship.
