Mission

Nuvedo empowers wellness seekers by making available legitimate gourmet and functional mushrooms.

Vision

Nuvedo aims to be India’s largest functional mushroom brand by 2025.

A half-decade-long quest to find the ultimate food source.
A food source that is sustainable, nutrient-dense, and which has useful byproducts. This search culminated in the formation of Nuvedo. Deeply understanding food in every form and what it does to our body and mind.

How do we get readily available, abundantly grown nutrients from a species on earth that will remain unaffected by a complete food shortage or global shutdown? How does one ensure a circular economy with already existing resources?
Enter Mushrooms. While traditional methods existed, there was skepticism within the food industry while promoting fungi, and with a monopoly of button mushrooms in the country, our need to find alternate mushrooms came to fruition. We explored, experimented, and began to dabble with all varieties of mushrooms - medicinal, exotic, gourmet.
Most of our answers,
came with the exotic & medicinal mushrooms.
We at Nuvedo, strongly believe that mushrooms have the ability to change the world.
