Who We Are
Vinay Masala: A Legacy Born from Passion
Founded in 2013 by Mrs. Durgabai Devlal Sontakke in Wadegaon, Akola, Maharashtra, Vinay Masala began as a small-scale venture driven by a powerful vision – to bring pure, authentic, and fresh spices to every Indian household.
What started in the humble setting of Wadegaon has blossomed into a trusted name that represents quality, tradition, and excellence across the region. Mrs. Sontakke’s dedication to preserving the authentic taste of Indian cuisine, combined with her commitment to purity, laid the foundation for what Vinay Masala stands for today.
For over a decade, Indian cuisine has been celebrated worldwide for its bold flavors, vibrant colors, and aromatic spices. At Vinay Masala, we are proud custodians of this rich culinary legacy, bringing you the authentic taste of India with every product we create.
We believe that food is not just sustenance; it’s the heart and soul of our culture, deeply woven into the fabric of our celebrations, traditions, and everyday life. Every spice we offer carries within it the warmth of Indian kitchens, the wisdom of age-old recipes, and the promise of unforgettable meals.
Our Journey
From Wadegaon to Your Kitchen: The Vinay Masala Story
Our journey began in 2013 when Mrs. Durgabai Devlal Sontakke, with deep respect for traditional spice-making methods and a passion for authentic flavors, established Vinay Masala in Wadegaon, Akola. What started as a small-scale family operation has evolved into a mission to preserve and share Maharashtra’s and India’s culinary treasures.
From the very beginning, we’ve maintained direct relationships with farmers in Akola and surrounding regions. We personally visit farms, understanding the soil, the season, and the care that goes into growing premium spices. By purchasing directly from farmers, we ensure they receive fair prices for their hard work while securing the freshest, highest-quality raw materials for our products.
Our commitment goes beyond business – we actively help farmers grow their products by providing support, guidance, and guaranteed purchases. This partnership ensures sustainable farming practices and empowers rural communities while guaranteeing that what reaches your kitchen is nothing short of perfection.
We traverse the diverse agricultural landscapes of Maharashtra and beyond – from the chili farms to the turmeric fields, from the coriander-rich regions to the finest spice-growing areas – personally selecting every ingredient. Our relationships with farmers are built on trust, fair practices, and a shared commitment to quality.
Every step of our process, from sourcing to packaging, is guided by one principle: never compromise on purity. We combine traditional grinding techniques with modern hygiene standards to ensure authentic taste and maximum freshness.

From Our Founder
A Message from Mrs. Durgabai Devlal Sontakke
“When I started Vinay Masala in 2013 from our small facility in Wadegaon, my dream was simple – to bring the authentic taste of traditional Indian spices to every kitchen while supporting the hardworking farmers of our region.
Over the years, what began as a small-scale operation has grown beyond my expectations, but our values remain unchanged. We still source directly from farmers, we still grind in small batches to ensure freshness, and we still refuse to compromise on purity.
Every pack of Vinay Masala carries my personal commitment to quality and authenticity. When you cook with our spices, you’re using the same care and ingredients I would use in my own kitchen.
Thank you for trusting us with your family’s meals. Your satisfaction is our greatest achievement.”
