The Story of Root and Soil

The Story of Root and Soil

Dear New Parent,We see you.The early days of parenthood are a beautiful whirlwind—filled with love, exhaustion, doubt, and moments no one truly prepares you for.During pregnancy, support surrounds you. But once your baby arrives, something shifts.Suddenly, you're expected to figure it all out on your own.At Root and Soil, we exist for that exact moment.Because the truth is simple: It takes a village to raise a child. And we’re here to be yours.

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
  That we’ve moved away from simple, effective care
  That modern parenting doesn’t need more products—it needs better onesAnd that’s where Root and Soil began.

What Started Small Is Now a Growing VillageFrom one mother’s search…To a community of 4+ lakh families across 12+ countriesWith 35+ thoughtfully created products, Root and Soil has grown into more than a brand.It has become a support system for parents navigating real-life challenges.
