OUR STORY
A Food Explorer Meets a Mechanical Visionary
Vedik Oils is the coming together of two minds driven by passion but from completely different worlds.
Gaurav Wasan — The Food Explorer Who Wanted Real Purity
A renowned YouTuber, food documentarian, and explorer of India’s oldest food traditions,
Gaurav has spent years traveling across the country. He has seen how real food is made,
how original ingredients taste, and how aggressively the modern market has drifted away from purity.
His biggest learning was simple:
Good food can exist only when the ingredients are pure.
This search for authenticity led him to the world of truly cold-pressed oils — the backbone of Indian cooking. He wanted oils that were not just “cold-pressed” as a label, but genuinely slow-extracted, nutrient-rich, clean, and untouched by industrial processes.
Rakesh Kumar Pahuja — The Engineer Who Revived Ancient Oil-Making
A mechanical engineer with an MBA by profession and a student of traditional Indian oil extraction for over 15 years, Rakesh Kumar Pahuja has devoted his life to understanding oils — their chemistry, their behaviour, and the machinery required to extract them authentically. But he didn’t stop there.
He designed his own custom oil-extraction machines, fine-tuned through years of studying old manuscripts, modern engineering texts, and traditional ghani techniques. At 68 years old, he brings with him not just experience, but wisdom — the kind that knows what the human body truly needs today. His machines extract oils at just 2-RPM, replicating the slow, gentle movement of ancient kath-kohlu ghanis.
This technology is rare today — and Vedik Oils is built on it.
THE HEART OF OUR PROCESS — 2 RPM BULL-DRIVEN TECHNOLOGY
Unlike mass-produced oils that spin at 50–150 RPM or more, our oils are extracted at 2 rotations per minute at the optimal temperature of 30–35°C — the true hallmark of cold-pressed oils. This slow pressing ensures:
Every drop is extracted with patience — because nature takes time.
WHY WE EXIST
Because the world deserves honest oils. For decades, the market has been flooded with refined, polished, chemical-treated oils that damage health in the long run. Even commercial “cold-pressed oils” are often extracted at high speeds that generate heat and destroy nutrition. Vedik Oils stands against this. We exist to bring back:
OUR PROMISE
From seed to bottle — everything is controlled by us.
OUR MISSION
To revive India’s ancient oil-making heritage and make the purest, most trustworthy oils accessible to every household.
OUR FOUNDERS' BELIEVE IN
"Good oil is not made in factories.
It is made with knowledge, patience, and respect for nature."
At Vedik Oils, we honour that belief every single day.
