Anjali Bhargava of Anjali’s Cup!
Inspired by the culture and rituals of her family’s native India, Anjali Bhargava (whose name means divine offering in Sanskrit) founded Anjali’s Cup as her own offering of good roots with the hope of making turmeric part of consumers’ daily habits through authentic, Ayurvedically-balanced drink mixes and spice blends. Passionate about introducing consumers to India’s authentic flavors and rituals and relentless in her pursuit of balance, health and wellness, the brand is Anjali’s love letter to her ancestors, crafted with reverence and gratitude.
Anjali’s reverence for turmeric began in childhood, when she would watch her mother use the golden root to treat colds, upset stomachs, sore muscles, and the autoimmune issues Anjali began to struggle with when she was just eight years old. Anjalis migraines became debilitating at 37, and Anjali again turned to turmeric for support, developing her own delicious recipe featuring turmeric’s trusted benefits. After her migraines disappeared for good within two months, she knew she had created something special, and the brand’s signature Resilience® Turmeric Elixir blend was born.
“Invest in yourself—your mental and physical well-being—at all times. Nothing is more important for a business owner than your resilience.”
Years later, Anjali set out to produce a chai masala that would reflect the flavors and traditions of her beloved subcontinent. Championing authentic representation continues to be a driving force of Anjali’s business, which has grown to include two turmeric elixirs, two chai masala blends,and a golden milk mix. Now 46, Anjali remains grounded in her commitment to sharing her good roots so that others may nourish theirs.
When it comes to quality, taste and function, Anjali makes no compromises. Anjali’s Cup’s Ayurvedically balanced drink mixes and spice blends are sustainably sourced and deliciously versatile, making them easy to incorporate into a daily routine.
