Shri Ahimsa Naturals, established in 1990 by Nemi Chand Jain, is among the world's leading players in the extraction and processing of Natural Caffeine Anhydrous (natural caffeine) and Green Coffee Bean Extracts (GCE). The company is also engaged in the supply of a diverse range of herbal extracts, including Senna Leaf Extract, Ashwagandha Extract, Turmeric Extract, Curcumin, Garcinia, and others.

Initially, the company's operations were focused solely on the extraction, manufacture, and sale of Natural Caffeine Anhydrous. Through continued research and development on crude caffeine sourced from certain suppliers, the company discovered the presence of GCE in the raw material. To capitalize on this opportunity, it developed a process to extract GCE from crude caffeine and subsequently added GCE to its product portfolio. In response to growing customer demand for other herbal extracts, the company expanded its product portfolio in 2021 to include a variety of herbal extracts. Since 2022, the company has been manufacturing crude caffeine from tea waste and coffee waste, which is both sold in the open market and utilized for captive consumption.

From its humble beginnings in natural caffeine extraction, the company has evolved into a global, research-driven enterprise committed to innovation and sustainable chemistry. Currently, it is one of the largest manufacturers of natural caffeine globally, exporting its products to countries across the United States (US), Europe, and other international markets. The company's world-class products are used in the food and beverage, nutraceutical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries and have received approvals from premier international institutions, reinforcing its unwavering commitment to quality, excellence, and sustainability.
