Tejas Dudhade & Alasha Shirke

A chemist and a daughter of Chiplun. One house, two Konkan origins.

Tejas grew up inland, in Ahmednagar — but his family travelled, and every school holiday ended on a Konkan beach. The kokum stands in Chiplun, the monsoon terraces above Ratnagiri, the rice fields outside Dapoli: the region was the backdrop of every childhood summer, and somewhere in that repetition he fell permanently in love with it. He trained as a chemical engineer, then moved to the United States and joined the largest Korean cosmetic contract manufacturer in the country. Over several years there, he rotated through formulation, quality, packaging, and customer service — the full arc of how a lipid becomes a shelf SKU. Precision Organics is the response to everything he learned in that rotation: that the best formulators ask better questions than the industry usually answers, and that a short, specific house of Indian butters, shipped with real documentation, would finally give them the answers. He runs the press, writes the Konkan Daily, and still hand-grades the first kernels of every season.

Alasha was born and raised in Chiplun — a town on the Vashishti river, deep in the Konkan belt that gives this company its name. She grew up among the kokum trees that now line our sourcing map, with kernels drying on terracotta every April and the monsoon arriving on schedule in June. Her childhood is why the brand reads the way it does: patient, specific, regional by instinct. She co-founded Precision Organics with Tejas and remains the custodian of its Konkan voice — the person who reads every label, every dossier, every line of the Intelligence Desk before it leaves the press.

Together they hold the company to a single test: would the village that grew this fruit recognise the butter we send out?
