Calmveda: Origin Story

How It All Started

Calmveda was born from a personal journey of healing.
In 2020, our founder Dhruv was a 23-year-old navigating burnout, anxiety, and isolation during the pandemic. When he returned home, his mother began lighting incense while he worked a simple act that brought peace and focus back into his life. That experience became a turning point.
A year later, Calmveda came to life with a clear mission:
to create a stress-free world by reviving the ancient Indian ritual of incense burning in its cleanest and most conscious form.
We craft clean, charcoal-free incense using flowercycling the repurposing of sacred temple flowers that would otherwise be discarded. These flowers are collected, cleaned, sun-dried, and blended with essential oils and IFRA-compliant fragrances to offer a safe and calming experience for the modern world.
Each stick is handmade by rural women from self-help groups across India. Your support empowers them while helping protect our rivers and environment.
What began as a moment of calm in one room has grown into a larger movement, and we’re grateful to have you with us on this journey.

Founder's Message
Hi, I’m Dhruv founder of Calmveda.
During the pandemic, I struggled with burnout and anxiety. The simple act of lighting incense during work brought me unexpected calm. That experience inspired me to create Calmveda.
We craft the world’s cleanest incense charcoal-free and made by repurposing sacred temple flowers to help you pause, breathe, and reconnect.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
