About Anna Kirana
OUR STORY
About Anna Kirana
Anna Kirana began with a simple purpose: to bring the true taste of South India to families living in Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. What started as a single store in Kharghar in 2018 has now grown into a trusted name for authentic ingredients, traditional products, and a familiar shopping experience that reminds customers of home. Over the years, the brand has expanded thoughtfully, ensuring that every store reflects the same warmth, culture, and quality that define South Indian living.
As the community around us grew, so did our responsibility. We focused on building a dependable supply chain, strengthening our product range, and creating a shopping environment that feels personal and comforting. Today, Anna Kirana serves thousands of families through its retail stores, wholesale network, and export division, while staying committed to authenticity, fair pricing, and the cultural identity that shaped our beginning.

OUR PURPOSE
Our Mission
To make authentic South Indian products accessible to every household, retailer, and global market by maintaining strong sourcing relationships, ensuring consistent quality, and providing a retail experience where every customer feels at home.
OUR PURPOSE
Our Roots and Sourcing Story
Our strength begins at the source. Many of our products come directly from farmers, small producers, and traditional cottage industries across Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh. We work closely with these communities to ensure that the rice varieties, jaggery, spices, pickles, papad, and other essentials we offer are produced with care, respect, and age-old expertise.
This connection to the grassroots allows us to bring genuinely fresh and authentic products to our customers. It also supports the livelihoods of farmers and rural artisans who preserve South Indian food traditions. By choosing Anna Kirana, customers not only experience true South Indian quality but also contribute to the growth and sustainability of the communities behind these products.
