Bollygood is the first Indian-inspired sparkling lemonade and limeade brand. We took Nimbu Pani, the classic South Asian drink also known as Indian lemonade, and gave it a sparkling, better-for-you twist inspired by my grandmother’s recipe. Each can has just 50 calories, is Non-GMO Project Verified, and is made without artificial ingredients. Our flavors, Lemon Ginger Mint, Lemon Mango Turmeric, Lemon Pomegranate Cardamom and Lime Basil Cumin serve shoppers looking for a tasty, better-for-you drink and anyone culture-curious to try something new. We exist to spread happiness and culture and to bring East Indian representation to the beverage aisle.

I was born in Canada to parents who immigrated from Kerala, India, in the 1960s. Most of my childhood summers were spent in India, surrounded by family, food, and homemade drinks, including Nimbu Pani, the South Asian classic also known as Indian lemonade. My grandmother’s recipe stayed with me.
I started my career as an electrical engineer, then spent 10 years as a stay-at-home mom. As an adult, I began making Nimbu Pani for my own family and evolved the recipe to blend my Indian and Canadian (now American) cultures. My husband, Alan, encouraged me to create something close to my heart and home, and that support led us to co-found Bollygood.
