About Cumin Co
Niharika Joshi co-founded Cumin Co in Gurugram in 2025, moving from corporate careers into cookware after questioning what most non-stick pans leach into food. The brand builds an integrated kitchenware line around non-toxic materials and raised about $5 million in a pre-Series A round to scale it. Its pitch is simple: the pan you cook in shouldn't be the health risk.
