Bollygood

I was born in Canada. My parents immigrated from Kerala, India in the 1960s. I spent most of my summers in India surrounded by a lot of family, delicious food and great homemade drinks! As a child, I particularly loved the nostalgic Nimbu Pani beverage, and eventually, I learned to make it for my family at home. This is a drink recipe passed down to me by my Grandmother and Aunties from India. Nimbu Pani is also known as Indian lemonade. It is made from a blend of lemon or lime, herbs and spices such as turmeric, ginger and cumin plus sugar and water. I launched Bollygood in the Fall of 2021. After working as an electrical engineer and being a stay-at-home mom for 10 years, I decided to pivot towards entrepreneurship to create something close to my heart. I had my kids in mind when I founded Bollygood. I wanted to make a better-for-you, tasty beverage without artificial ingredients.  We are proud to be the first Indian-inspired sparkling lemonade and limeade based on a Nimbu Pani - a drink enjoyed for centuries in India. We added a sparkling and better-for-you twist to this classic recipe. It's a new and exciting way to experience this timeless beverage. Bollygood is Non-GMO Project Verified, has only 50 calories and 7g of added sugar per serving, and tastes great! I am thrilled to bring East Indian representation to the beverage aisle!
