Core Products & Services

  • Traditional South Indian Snacks: These snacks are the kind you’d see at every South Indian home during holidays murukku, thattai and a bunch of others we grew up eating. Sweet Karam Coffee gives you that same taste, minus all the frying and fuss in your own kitchen.
  • Ready Meals and Instant Mixes: Let’s be real sometimes you just want good food fast. Their packs of sambar rice, pongal, upma and other dishes are quick to make but don’t taste fake or boring. It’s a shortcut that still feels like a home-cooked meal.
  • Filter Coffee: If you know South Indian filter coffee, you know it’s special. This isn’t instant coffee—it’s slow-brewed, strong and smells amazing, just like at your parents’ place or a typical local cafe.
  • Gift Boxes and Combos: Food is such a big part of celebrations here. Their gift packs are great for Diwali, birthdays, or really any time you want to send someone treats that remind them of home. It’s a simple way to show you care, with treats people actually want to eat.

Business Model & Revenue Streams

  • Direct Sales: Products are sold via the company’s website and mobile app. A considerable share of revenue comes from these online channels. International shipping extends the customer base globally, offering authentic South Indian snacks.

  • Marketplace Sales: Sweet Karam Coffee features on major e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Flipkart, increasing product accessibility. Partnerships with quick delivery services like Zepto provide rapid order fulfillment.

  • Offline Retail Expansion: The company has plans to expand its brick-and-mortar presence by establishing retail stores in different regions across India.

  • B2B Collaborations: Strategic partnerships with hotels and restaurants help supply condiments and signature filter coffee blends.
