Our Journey
We began as a small soap-making project and livelihood initiative at Rishi Valley School. During the pandemic, we transitioned into a small business, partnering with a group of local women to begin manufacturing. We started small, reaching our first customers through flea markets, local cafes, and like-minded retail stores.
As we grew, we moved our operations into our own FDA-certified manufacturing facility in Andhra Pradesh to ensure full control over our quality and standards.
The Saka Solution
We address industry failures through three clear principles:
High Active Concentrations
Most products contain minimal active ingredients (3–5%) to protect margins. Our formulations use concentrations of 12–18% so that ingredients actually deliver visible results, not just a place on the label.
Multi-Functional Formulations
We design products that work harder so you can do less. Instead of a cluttered shelf, a single Saka product is formulated to address multiple needs, simplifying your routine without sacrificing outcomes.
End-to-End Control
We maintain full Farm-to-Face ownership. By sourcing directly from farmers and manufacturing in-house, we guarantee ingredient integrity, traceability, and batch consistency that outsourced brands cannot match.

A Note From Our Founder
"I’ve been making things by hand since I was in school. What I learned early - from that first soap project to years of formulating - is that most products are made with far less care than consumers assume.
Active concentrations are kept low to protect margins. Supply chains are outsourced because it’s easier. Routines are made complicated because complexity sells.
Saka exists because I believe you deserve better: more actives, honest sourcing, and real accountability. We’re still building, but every formulation is held to the same standard: Clean as the baseline, performance as the proof."
— Seethala Karipineni, Founder & CEO
