About Aikyam
Aikyam is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. We export from Mumbai, India's primary agri-export hub, which gives us access to the most competitive freight rates and fastest shipping timelines.
Exclusively B2B buyers: importers, distributors, wholesale grocers, food manufacturers, nutraceutical companies, supplement brands, and wellness product businesses. We do not supply retail quantities or individual consumers.
Three things. First, quality discipline: we do not ship without lab-tested, documented batches. Second, market knowledge: our founder has 25 years of consumer brand experience across India and the Middle East, so we understand your end customer, not just the product. Third, direct communication with senior management, not an account manager or call centre.
Products & Quality
We export across three categories. Ayurvedic & Superfood Range: Moringa Powder, Ashwagandha Powder, Safed Musli, Shilajit (resin/powder), Punarnava Powder, Shatavari. Premium Spices: Saffron, Turmeric, Cumin Seeds (Jeera), Onion Powder, Ginger Powder, Garlic Powder. Grains & Pulses: Brown Rice, Kabuli Chana, Lentils (Masoor Dal / Toor Dal).
Yes, always, across the full range. Every batch is tested for the relevant active compounds for that product (e.g. curcumin for turmeric, withanolides for ashwagandha, fulvic acid for shilajit, crocin for saffron), moisture, heavy metals, and pesticide residue. We provide the Certificate of Analysis with every shipment.
Yes. Organic-certified options are available for turmeric, moringa, and ashwagandha. We provide NPOP (Indian organic) documentation. NOP (US equivalent) certification is available on specific lines, please specify at the enquiry stage.
Yes. We source saffron exclusively from Kashmir, the only region in India with protected Geographical Indication status for saffron. GI documentation is provided with every saffron order.
We work with a fixed set of verified supplier partners for each product. Specifications are locked: we define curcumin content, withanolide content, moisture maximum, and admixture tolerance before procurement, and test to confirm compliance before dispatch.
Sampling
Yes. We send curated sample kits, 100g per product, fully labelled, with spec sheets, Certificate of Analysis, price list (FOB Mumbai), and documentation package. Delivered by DHL or FedEx internationally.
Samples are complimentary, except for Saffron. You cover international courier costs to your destination.
10–15 business days. Tracking information is sent on the day of dispatch.
