Bridging centuries of traditional farming wisdom with modern export excellence. Discover the journey that transformed local spice trading into global partnerships.
I’m Harsh Arun Kumar Dave, the founder of Hamptons Spice. My journey into the spice industry began from a place of passion rather than family tradition. While pursuing my Master’s in Computer Engineering at the University of Southampton (UK), I discovered how deeply the world admired Indian food. Yet, I also noticed something was missing—most people outside India were not experiencing the true richness, aroma, and authenticity of Indian spices. That realization sparked my mission: to share the authentic taste of India with the world. I wanted to create a brand that delivers pure, premium-quality spices—sourced directly from trusted Indian farmers—to kitchens across the globe.
Today, with every jar and pack of Hamptons Spice, we carry the promise of authenticity, freshness, and the heritage of India, blended with the trust and quality that modern consumers expect.
"During my time in the UK, I realized that while Indian food was celebrated, the spices often lacked the authenticity I grew up with in India. This gap inspired me to bring the true essence of Indian spices to global tables."
"From engineering to entrepreneurship, my path was driven by passion. I worked with Indian farmers and suppliers who shared my belief in quality and transparency, ensuring every spice tells its original story."
"Hamptons Spice was created with a simple belief: when you combine authenticity with modern excellence, you don’t just sell spices—you share India’s heritage with the world."
"Every spice tells a story, every farmer is a guardian of tradition, and every export carries the essence of India's heritage to the world."— Harsh Dave, Founder & CEO
