Your fav PODI is now AWARD WINNING! š„š
Iāve got some exciting news to shareāIām thrilled to announce that weāve been named the winner in the 2024 Startup CPG Shelfie Awards - Seasonings category! š
When I first started this brand, I had my fair share of doubts. Sure, I love PODIs, but would others feel the same? And letās be honest, bringing a product rooted in another culture into the mainstreamāwould people really appreciate it? The imposter syndrome was real. I didnāt have any experience in the CPG world, and I constantly wondered, Can this actually work?

Why this is a Big Deal:
The Shelfie Awards are no jokeātheyāre the biggest free awards program in the CPG space, with over 1,500 entries this year. The competition was fierce, with judges looking at everything from product quality to sustainability, and even our digital presence. They had to really dig deep into the nitty-gritty, asking themselves, "Would I buy this again? Would I recommend this to someone else? Will buyers like this enough to put it in their store?" And they said YES to us!
Weāre so thrilled that the judges saw the care we put into our productsāfrom sourcing the best ingredients to our focus on sustainability, from the artistry in our branding to the way we engage and educate our community through social media. This recognition is not just a win for us; itās a win for anyone who believes in the power of quality, authenticity, and a little bit of cultural spice!
