What happens when a young entrepreneur looks at something that has existed in Indian homes for centuries and decides to build a modern brand around it?
The answer is Sanatan Dharma™—an emerging Indian consumer brand founded by Shivek Tyagi, which is now stepping into the rapidly evolving market for puja essentials and devotional products.
At a time when India's young entrepreneurs are increasingly building brands around traditional Indian products, Sanatan Dharma is attempting something particularly interesting: taking products that families have used for generations and presenting them to a new generation of consumers through modern branding, packaging and digital commerce.
And the idea is beginning to create attention.
From an Everyday Need to a Brand Opportunity
For generations, products such as camphor, cotton wicks, kumkum, kalawa, sindoor and other puja essentials have been purchased almost automatically from neighbourhood stores.
There was rarely a brand conversation around them.
Shivek Tyagi saw an opportunity in exactly that gap.
The thinking was simple: if consumers expect quality, consistency and trust from almost every other category they purchase, why should the products used in their most personal and meaningful rituals be any different?
That thought became the foundation for Sanatan Dharma.
Today, the brand is developing a growing portfolio of puja essentials, devotional products and curated puja kits, with an approach that combines traditional relevance with modern consumer expectations.
Why Is Sanatan Dharma Getting Attention?
Part of the answer lies in timing.
India's relationship with tradition is changing—not disappearing.
Young Indians are increasingly comfortable with digital commerce, modern packaging and online shopping, while at the same time remaining closely connected to festivals, family rituals and cultural practices.
This creates a fascinating opportunity.
A consumer can order groceries online, discover a new brand through social media and still sit with their family for Diwali puja in the evening.
Sanatan Dharma is positioning itself right in the middle of this changing behaviour.
Its proposition is not to change the rituals people follow.
It is to modernise the way the products behind those rituals are discovered and purchased.
From Camphor to Curated Puja Kits
The brand's portfolio includes everyday essentials such as camphor, Bhimseni camphor, cotton wicks, ghee cotton wicks, kumkum, kalawa, sindoor and Ashtagandh, along with curated kits designed around specific pujas and occasions.
The idea of curated kits is particularly relevant to today's consumer.
Instead of searching for every individual item required for a particular ritual, consumers can find products brought together for specific occasions.
It is a simple example of how traditional shopping behaviour can be made more convenient without changing the tradition itself.
The Shivek Tyagi Story
At the centre of this emerging brand is Shivek Tyagi, a young entrepreneur looking at an established category through a different lens.
Rather than entering an already crowded mainstream consumer category, Tyagi chose to build around a segment that is deeply connected to Indian households but has historically had relatively limited organised branding.
That decision reflects a broader entrepreneurial trend in India: finding opportunities not only in new technology or entirely new products, but also in categories that have existed for decades and are ready for a fresh approach.
Sanatan Dharma is still a young brand, but its ambition is considerably larger than its current footprint.
The objective is to build recognition, earn consumer trust and eventually create a household name in the puja and devotional products category.
The “New-Age” Puja Brand
Walk through a modern Indian home and you will see something interesting.
Tradition and technology now exist side by side.
A family may perform the same puja their grandparents performed, but the products for that puja can now be discovered through a smartphone.
That is the market Sanatan Dharma is entering.
The brand's identity combines traditional Indian cultural associations with contemporary packaging and digital accessibility. Its online presence allows consumers to explore its products beyond their local market.
For a category historically dependent on neighbourhood availability, this represents a significant shift.
Building a Brand, Not Just Selling Products
The real challenge for Sanatan Dharma will be building long-term trust.
Creating initial curiosity is one thing.
Becoming a brand that families repeatedly choose is another.
The company, a unit of Sara Greenworks Pvt. Ltd., is therefore looking beyond individual online sales. Its broader plans include expanding through retail stores, distributors, wholesale partnerships and digital commerce.
The ambition is to take the brand from individual households to retail shelves across India—and eventually to Indian communities around the world.
Why the Timing Could Be Right
India's consumer market is increasingly showing an appetite for brands that understand Indian culture.
From food and Ayurveda to handicrafts and traditional wellness products, entrepreneurs are discovering that heritage itself can become the foundation for modern businesses.
Sanatan Dharma is attempting a similar journey in the puja essentials category.
Its biggest advantage may be the familiarity of the products themselves.
Consumers already understand the need.
The opportunity is to give them a brand they can remember.
From Hype to Household Trust
Every emerging brand goes through a stage where curiosity turns into conversation.
Sanatan Dharma is now entering that phase.
Its combination of a young entrepreneurial vision, a culturally significant category and modern consumer positioning is attracting attention among consumers looking for more organised and accessible sources of puja essentials.
But Shivek Tyagi's larger challenge—and opportunity—is clear.
Can a new-age Indian brand become part of an age-old tradition?
If Sanatan Dharma succeeds, its journey could represent more than the growth of another consumer company.
It could demonstrate how India's oldest traditions can create opportunities for India's newest entrepreneurs.
Because the products may be traditional.
The rituals may be centuries old.
But the brand building around them is very much happening in today's India.
