Our Story

Brewed with
Obsession,
Not Algorithm

Kultura wasn't born from a business plan. It started with a SCOBY in a jar, a founder who couldn't stop learning about gut health, and a deep frustration with the lifeless, pasteurised beverages claiming to be "healthy."

Anika Sharma

Founder & Head Brewer

"I didn't set out to build a company. I just wanted to heal my gut — and fell completely in love with the ancient magic of fermentation."
The Founder

From Gut Issues
to Gut Guru

After years of digestive issues that conventional medicine couldn't solve, Anika stumbled onto kombucha during a trip to Tbilisi, Georgia — the ancestral home of fermented tea. She was immediately transformed.

Back in Mumbai, she became obsessed. She studied fermentation science, flew to South Korea to apprentice with master brewers, and went through over 200 test batches before she found the exact process that produced living, complex, genuinely health-giving kombucha.

Kultura exists because Anika believes that food can be medicine — but only when it's real, alive, and made with integrity.
