From One Mother’s Search to a Global VillageRoot and Soil began in 2019, not as a business idea—but as a mother’s need.Founded by Priyadarshini Krishnan, a mother and certified Newborn Care Specialist, the brand was born from a reality many modern parents silently face:
- No elders nearby
- No traditional guidance
- No support system during sleepless nights
Like many, she found herself navigating motherhood alone.Then came a moment that changed everything.When her daughter Paridhi developed a stubborn rash, nothing on the market seemed to work. Product after product failed.Out of options, she turned to something simple.A bottle of hand-extracted coconut oil from a childhood friend’s farm.The result? The rash disappeared overnight.That moment wasn’t just relief. It was a realization. That nature already holds answers
