Flagship Event
International Trade Show —
Millet on the world stage.
This wasn't just a booth at a trade show. This was India's ancient grain wisdom meeting global buyers, nutritionists and food entrepreneurs — proving that millet is not a niche food. It is the future of food.
Dharthi Foods displayed its complete range of FSSAI-certified millet products — soups, snacks and breakfast mixes — to delegations from across 20 countries. The response? A queue at our booth that lasted the entire day.
"The moment an international buyer tasted our Pearl Millet Tomato Soup and said 'I need 10,000 units' — that was the validation of six years of work."
— Rajput Reshma Singh, Founder & CEO
Our Journey

Our mission, amplified
Why we show up,
everywhere we can.
For most food brands, trade shows are a sales channel. For Dharthi Foods, every event is a classroom. Every booth is a stage to tell the 4,000-year story of millet's role in Indian civilization — and its urgency for modern health.
When a doctor at an IIMR expo tastes our ragi soup and says "I'll recommend this to every diabetic patient" — that's not a sale. That is the mission. Events let us have those conversations at scale.
Build trust face to face
Nothing replaces a person tasting your product and feeling the difference.
Advocate for millet
We use every platform to educate — nutrition facts, GI index, fiber content.
Open international doors
Export leads, partnerships and distribution networks — built one handshake at a time.
"I tried their pearl millet soup at the IIMR expo. I placed a bulk order on the spot. My patients with diabetes need this."
