About Kaizer

Kaizer exists because the oils most Indians cook with, dress with, and apply to their skin are not what they appear to be.

Refining, bleaching, deodorising and hexane solvent extraction are standard practice in commercial oil production. These processes extend shelf life and produce the clear, odourless oils that line supermarket shelves. They also destroy vitamins, eliminate polyphenols, degrade omega fatty acids, and in some cases produce harmful compounds. The label says olive oil, groundnut oil, or coconut oil. What is in the bottle is a chemically processed derivative of those things.

Kaizer was founded to offer the alternative: oils that are cold-pressed, unrefined, and chemically unprocessed, exactly as the source plant intended them to be.

The Founder

Kaizer was founded by a biochemical engineer from IIT Delhi with an MBA from Columbia University. The scientific background is not incidental to the brand. It shapes every decision, from how oils are sourced and tested to how their properties are communicated.

The premise is straightforward: the health claims made about cold-pressed oils are either supported by peer-reviewed research or they are not. Every oil in the Kaizer range is chosen on the basis of documented nutritional science, not tradition or marketing convention. The fatty acid profiles, polyphenol content, and bioactive compounds that make each oil worth using are measurable, testable, and verifiable.

Kaizer measures, tests, and verifies them. The results are published on every product page.

 

The Co-Founder

Kaizer's second co-founder is a mechanical engineer from IIT Delhi, a year ahead of his eventual co-founder, who began building businesses immediately after graduating. He went on to found and run an industrial manufacturing company, exporting high-end cranes to nearly 20 countries.

His manufacturing footprint has since expanded well beyond cranes, including a wire product facility in Sri City, Chennai producing quality fasteners for export to the US, and a plant in Dakar, Senegal manufacturing tubes and wire products, with a new facility planned in Rwanda as part of a broader expansion into African markets.

Across every one of these ventures, the same philosophy has held: customer-first, quality-first, and an unwavering focus on the experience the customer has with the product. That conviction is what brought the two founders together. India had access to plenty of commercial and refined oils, but not to the quality standard already available in Western markets. In 2020, they founded Kaizer to close that gap, committing to nothing less than the world's highest achievable quality in cold-pressed oil.

 

Our Oils

Kaizer does not refine, bleach, deodorise, or use chemical solvents on any oil in the range. Cold pressing at low temperatures is the only extraction method used. The result is oil that retains its natural colour, aroma, fatty acid profile, and bioactive compounds, all of which are destroyed or diminished by conventional processing.

The trade-off is shelf life. Unrefined cold-pressed oils do not last as long as their commercially processed equivalents. Kaizer oils carry a two-year shelf life from manufacture. That is the honest cost of making the right choice, and one we make without reservation.

The range covers three categories:

•       Cooking oils for high and medium heat Indian cooking

•       Drizzle and finishing oils for raw application, salads, and skin care

•       Health-focused seed oils with documented bioactive properties and peer-reviewed research citations

Testing and Certification

Every batch of every Kaizer oil is tested by ITS Testing Laboratory Pvt. Ltd., an ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018 certified independent laboratory, against FSSR 26th Edition 2025 standards (India's current national food safety specification).

Testing covers:

•       Purity: argemone oil, mineral oil, pesticide residues, heavy metals, aflatoxins

•       Freshness: peroxide value, free fatty acids, acid value

•       Microbiological safety: E. coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus

•       Fatty acid profiling: complete composition of every oil in the range

Every product in the range has its Certificate of Analysis available directly on its product page. No request required. The data is public.

The standard does not stop at the oils themselves. The water used in our production facility is independently tested and certified to confirm it meets food-grade quality standards.

Our Customers

Kaizer customers are people who read ingredient labels, question health claims, and want to know exactly what they are putting into their bodies and their food. They are not looking for the cheapest option. They are looking for the right one.

The range is used by home cooks who have made a permanent switch away from refined commercial oils, by nutritionists and health practitioners who recommend specific oils for specific applications, and by individuals managing specific health conditions who want food-grade oils with documented bioactive properties.

If you have a question about any oil in the range, its sourcing, its testing, its recommended use, or its scientific basis, write to us. We will answer.

A Note on What You Will Not Find Here

Kaizer does not make disease treatment claims. Oils are food, not medicine, and the distinction matters.

What we do assert, and what the third-party laboratory data supports, is that the fatty acid profiles, polyphenol content, and bioactive compounds in cold-pressed unrefined oils are meaningfully different from their refined equivalents, and that this difference has documented nutritional relevance.

The Certificates of Analysis on each product page show exactly what is in every bottle. The scientific references on our blog articles show why it matters.
