Our Story

Sahaji is a family-run business from Basirhat, North 24 Parganas, West Bengal, bringing pure and natural food to families since 1979.

Where we began

How it began

In the year 1979, G. M. Sahaji, a young beekeeper, started nurturing a few bee colonies of Apis cerana indica, an indigenous subspecies of the Asiatic honey bee, in a village near Sundarban with a noble vision to educate people about honeybees and their instrumental role in nature.

Sahaji, from individual to collective

Though G. M. Sahaji started his beekeeping journey alone, he started inspiring his friends and family members to become beekeepers. Over the years, from an individual's small initiative, ‘Sahaji’ transformed into a collective of bee-lovers.

Why Sahaji

Sahaji is a family-run business. For generations, our family has upheld the values of purity, quality and trust — every product is naturally sourced, carefully processed and packed with authentic taste.

  1. A family business since 1979

    The people behind Sahaji are the same family that started it. We stand behind every jar and packet that reaches your home.

  2. Nothing added to our honey

    Every Sahaji honey jar carries our promise: no adulteration, and no added flavour, colour, preservative or sugar.

  3. Carefully sorted and packed

    Dates and dry fruits are sorted by hand. Honey, ghee and honey-based products are packed in glass jars, and every order is packed in a corrugated box for safe transit.

  4. Made the traditional way

    Kachchi ghani cold-pressed mustard oil, deshi gawa ghee, chhatu from roasted chana and grains, and seeds roasted in a kadai — prepared the way our family always has.

What খাঁটি means to us

৯৯ নয়, খাঁটি বলতে আমরা বুঝি শতভাগই।

Because purity isn't 99%. It's 100%.
