Our Story
Pri and Kanth, our founders, were deeply moved to action upon discovering the artificial, ultra-processed, and animal-source ingredients in the food they were giving their adopted niece.
Determined to create a global impact, they established Live Green to accelerate the discovery of healthier, sustainable ingredients. Choosing collaboration over building their own brands, they embraced minimalism and relocated 18,000 km to Chile. There, they immersed themselves in the local culture, successfully piloted The Live Green Co, and adopted a sustainable lifestyle in a tiny home made from recycled shipping containers. As the startup grew during the pandemic, they embraced venture capital, driven by the belief that purpose and profit can coexist. With a passionate global team sharing their mission, Pri and Kanth view this as just the beginning of their journey toward a healthier, more sustainable world.
