Authentic regional Indian cuisine received a massive upgrade when Harish Visweswaran joined forces with co-founders Ragoth and Kiru to solve a major everyday dining challenge: how to bring wholesome, traditional Indian meals to busy consumers in a fast, convenient format. As Co-Founder and Lead of Growth and Analytics at The Cumin Club, Harish is driving the retail expansion and data strategy behind a brand on a mission to shift food culture toward nourishing, clean-label, five-minute meals.

A lifelong foodie whose passion naturally aligned with the food industry, Harish shares how he applies data-driven decision-making as a co-founder to scale retail channels, optimize operations, and make high-quality, flavorful Indian dishes accessible to households everywhere.
