Preserving Heritage, Empowering Futures
We blend ancestral wisdom with modern technology to preserve Goa’s cultural legacy and enhance everyday wellness through specialized digital tools and resources.
Our Story
Founded by visionary Usha Sardesai, GoaRoots emerged from a profound realization: as Goa’s beaches drew millions, its soul—the traditions, recipes, and stories passed through generations—needed a bridge to the future.
Simultaneously, Usha saw technology’s potential to empower informed decisions about health and wellbeing. GoaRoots was born from this dual passion: honoring the past while embracing the future through innovation.
Today, GoaRoots stands as a unique confluence of cultural preservation and digital empowerment, dedicated to safeguarding Goan treasures and enhancing lives globally.

This method eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, producing nutrient-rich food while fostering a deeper connection between the farmer, the land, and the cosmos. It’s about growing food that nourishes both body and spirit.
