In the mid-2000s, three close friends—Robins, Naushad, and Jith—graduates from an engineering college nestled in Central Kerala, set off on a journey that countless young Malayalees of their generation embarked on: the pursuit of jobs in the Middle East. Bright, ambitious, and full of hope, they believed the world beyond their homeland held the key to success and stability. Each had secured promising positions in the bustling cities of the Gulf, surrounded by the booming oil economy and the shimmering skylines.

But despite the impressive careers they began to build, something always felt missing. These three friends, bound not just by their shared academic backgrounds but by an intense love for food, found themselves lost when it came to satisfying their cravings.

Sure, it was a land of opportunity, a melting pot of cultures and cuisines, but what their souls yearned for was the comforting, authentic taste of Kerala—food that reminded them of home, made with the care and love of a mother’s kitchen. The bustling food courts, lavish restaurants, and fancy hotels offered variety, but none could deliver the nostalgic flavors that transported them back to their childhood days in Kerala.

As months turned into years, their conversations during weekend meetups often circled back to the same topic—food. “How great would it be,” Naushad would muse, “if we could just walk into a place and order a simple, homely meal, made with love and priced reasonably?” Robins, ever the practical one, would sigh, “We can afford fancy meals, but where’s the joy when it doesn’t taste like home?” Jith, the dreamer of the trio, would nod in agreement, his mind already brewing ideas. Their cravings didn’t fade—they grew stronger, infiltrating their thoughts at work, and even haunting them in their sleep. They dreamt of the crisp appams, the rich stews, the earthy biryanis, and the spicy fish curries, all tasting as though they came fresh out of their own kitchens.

It became clear: their hearts, their souls, and most importantly, their taste buds weren’t satisfied. The trio began to feel that their future wasn’t tied to the oil-slicked fortunes of the Gulf but to something deeper—something closer to home. Driven by a relentless hunger—literally and figuratively—they made a bold decision. They would leave their promising careers and travel across the world in search of a solution to this “tummy pain point” that plagued not only them but countless Global Malayalees longing for a taste of home.

Their journey took them across continents, through the kitchens of grandmothers and street vendors, Michelin-starred chefs and humble home cooks. They learned the secrets of spices, the art of crafting dishes that spoke to the soul, and the importance of using fresh, local ingredients. Every step of their journey brought them closer to a realization: they didn’t just want to recreate Kerala cuisine—they wanted to make it accessible, affordable, and authentic for the Global Malayalee diaspora.

And thus, Vayaranz was born. The name itself a playful nod to the Malayalam word "vayaru" meaning stomach, and "vayaranz," symbolizing their deep love for food. It wasn’t just a food brand; it was a promise. A promise that anyone who laid hands on their products would be treated to a meal that tasted like home, made with care, priced fairly, and served with a generous helping of love.

What started as a dream shared by three friends, fed the hearts and bellies of Malayalees across the world. Vayaranz quickly becoming a beacon for those seeking solace in a simple meal that transported them back to their roots. It wasn’t just about food—it was about family, memories, and the shared love for the taste of home.

Their story, inspiring others to chase their passions, to take risks, and to remember that sometimes, the road to success isn’t paved with gold, but with the simple, authentic joys that bring people together—like the smell of a freshly cooked meal, or the laughter shared over a plate of steaming rice and curry.

And so, Vayaranz became more than just a food brand. It became a home away from home, for the Global Malayalee community, and for the three friends who started it all.
