Meet the Father-Son Duo Behind Munch Craft

Every Munch Craft flavor starts with the same question founder Zubin Kuvadia kept asking himself: why are "clean" snacks so boring, and "craveable" snacks so full of junk?

An engineer's problem to solve

Zubin holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering and an MBA in Business Analytics, with 15+ years spent working at the intersection of science and business. Snack nuts should have been the easy category — naturally great, minimally processed — but most packaged options on the shelf were either fried in cheap seed oils, coated in sugary syrups, or just flavorless. There was a real gap between "healthy" and "actually good."

Bringing in the "Flavor King"

Rather than solve it alone, Zubin partnered with the person who'd spent 40 years doing exactly this professionally: his father, a food scientist and technologist he calls, simply, the Flavor King. Together they split the work the way you'd expect — his father brings the culinary artistry and decades of flavor development experience, Zubin brings the engineering rigor. Every flavor, from Peri-Peri Lime to Salted Caramel to Coffee Mocha, is the product of that combination: a scientifically balanced flavor profile that never leans on any single note too hard.

Houston based brand

Munch Craft — the flagship brand from AuraVi Foods — is Houston-based and Houston-warehoused. The nuts themselves are sourced, air-roasted, and packaged at a dedicated FDA-registered partner facility in Western Maharashtra, India, home to some of the world's finest cashews, then shipped and fulfilled out of Houston, Texas. Most of the brand's early wholesale partners — 15+ retail doors and counting — are right there in the Houston area.

The mission, in plain terms

Make everyday snacking more adventurous and more flavorful, without ever compromising on ingredients. No added oil. No artificial colors or flavors. Just bold, globally-inspired flavor built on a genuinely better process — Precision Air-Roasting and Nitro-Seal freshness sealing in every bag.
