The spice supply chain isn't transparent, it doesn't recognize the role of farmers (particularly women), and it's missing mind blowing flavour.

Shilpa, founder and CEO of No Women No Spice, has spent decades working in agriculture, the environment, and gender equity across Asia, Africa, and Latin America. During her journey, she saw how outdated, colonial-era systems still control the way we grow and trade food—and it’s not working for farmers or consumers.

It’s time for a reset. To truly face today’s challenges, we need to rethink how we eat, live, and work. At No Women No Spice, buying spices isn’t just about flavor—it’s about creating a better future for both farmers and food lovers.

We’re here to bring color, flavor, and goodness to your meals—and to the world.

Great spices, great outcome.

No Women No Spice isn't just an alternative; its an example. An example of an industry that can shed its exploitative past to create a modern economy that is better for the all of us.

Let's Reboot the Spice Route!

Hi, I am Shilpa, my journey in sustainability is a story of passion, perseverance, and purpose. As a teenager, I dared to dream of traveling to Nepal—a dream met with skepticism and laughter from my peers. Yet, with unwavering determination, I turned that dream into reality, earning an innovative research award for my master’s research in Nepal and trekking to Mt. Everest Base Camp. This experience taught me that belief in oneself can turn even the boldest dreams into tangible achievements.

Navigating a path often paved with firsts as one of the few professionals of color in sustainability, I’ve had the privilege of leading impactful initiatives and shaping transformative ESG strategies for multi national corporations, and steering sustainability marketing for CPG companies. Each step has been a stride toward a world where diverse voices are not only heard but are leading the charge.

From Africa to Asia and Latin America, my work has been about connecting with people, understanding their challenges, and crafting solutions that truly resonate. At No Women No Spice, we’re more than a brand; we’re a movement. Our commitment to sustainability and equity shines through every detail, from our products to our packaging. We believe that when you build something rooted in these values, you create a beacon that draws those who share our vision for a fairer, more sustainable world.

I am deeply passionate about creating a future where sustainability and social equity are at the heart of everything we do. My approach is driven by a belief that real change starts with daring to dream big and working relentlessly to bring those dreams to life.
