Om Baby Story

Once upon a time in our home in Nashville I went to the kitchen to give food to my 9 month old. He was being extremely fussy, so I called my mom. She told me I loved lentils and rice with veggies as a baby and to try that with my son. I made him lentils and rice with carrots and he loved it! I then later tried it with peas, apples, green beans and spinach. All were a hit! So how did Om Baby Foods come about? One very early morning, I jumped out of bed with an idea for a business. I quickly went to the computer to do some research and 14 hours later put my pencil down. I bounced the idea of a holistic children's food company off of some friends and all seemed to have the same response...GO FOR IT! We soon moved to Cherry Hill, NJ where I worked in an amazing coffee shop. There I met a team of angels who encouraged me to pursue my dream of providing holistic and nutritious meals to children. Om Baby Foods, founded in 2004, is a company devoted to providing holistic and delicious meals with recipes from the Far East (or at least San Jose, CA where I grew up) spiced with a bit of Tennessee warmth and Jersey love.

Om Baby’s Mission - "Life happens between meals"

We believe that “Life happens between meals”. Each child is happier when their lil’ bellies are full. They have more energy to play and run around. We also believe that it’s possible to fight childhood obesity if we feed our children different ethnicities of food at a younger age. They will have a better palate for food and grow up to make better food choices.

About Us - Father/Daughter/Mother/Neighbor Team

Seema G. - Founder and CEO
VG G. - Founding partner and COO

Roisin M. - Marketing Support
Rani G. - Recipe and Business Consultant

Seema holds a degree in Microbiology from U.C. Davis and is the founder of Om Baby Products. She is the mother of 2 boys (5yrs and 1yr). Her passion for introducing children to international cuisine has been perfectly packaged in each Om Baby meal kit. She hopes that by introducing children to a variety of cuisines at an early age, they will develop better eating habits as they get older. Her oldest eats almost every ethnicity of food and if Seema puts something on his plate which he has not eaten before, he will give it an honest try. Her youngest tries everything and already has an affinity for spicy food with robust flavors.

VG is grandfather to Seema’s boys and brought up on organic food for most of his life in India. VG is the former CEO of a major manufacturing company located in the Bay Area. He brings 40 years of expertise in all aspects of the Operations side of business. Hearing that Seema was getting involved with creating food for children, the chef at heart came out of retirement, rolled up his sleeves, and got on board.

Rani is grandmother to Seema’s boys and formerly worked with VG, at their bay area company, in Human Resources and order processing. She has a knack for speaking with buyers and customers. When she heard about what her daughter was thinking of doing, she too rolled up her sleeves and took on the role of recipe consultant and child-care. I LOVE YOU MOM!!
