Leadership & Governance

Founder-led
since day one.

Quessentials was co-founded in 2017 by two engineering graduates from NIT Bhopal — Krishna Kanth and Mohan Reddy. They continue to lead the company today.

Co-Founders

Two engineers,
one operating thesis.

Krishna Kanth and Mohan Reddy met as engineering students at NIT Bhopal and co-founded Quessentials in 2017 with a shared conviction that India's superfood and oilseed exports needed a quality-first platform.
