Veda Farms is a holistic wellness company rethinking the future of healthcare and agriculture.
We are a team of farmers, doctors, entrepreneurs and medicine-makers combining regenerative agriculture with Ayurvedic medicine to create plant-based alternatives to mass-marketed pharmaceuticals.

Our vision.
The American healthcare system is built to generate shareholder wealth, not individual health. We believe that Ayurveda, an ancient system of personalized wellness, provides an alternative, time-tested approach to proactively building wellness through herbs, diet, exercise, yoga and meditation.
Our mission.
In order to provide our society with alternatives for mass-marketed pharmaceutials that are overprescribed and misused, we are reviving some of Ayurveda's most potent medicines, formulated with the world's most powerful medicinal botanicals.

Our team

Founder // Chief Executive Officer
Smrita M. Choubey started her career in healthcare investment banking, and realized that the American healthcare system had many systemic challenges preventing our society from being happy and healthy. She decided to use the knowledge she gained studying economics at the University of Chicago and getting her MBA at Columbia Business School, along with the healthcare and corporate strategy skills she gained from working at J.P. Morgan and American Express, to start an alternative healthcare company rooted in Ayurveda. She founded Veda Farms to grow, research and formulate plant-based alternatives to mass-marketed pharmaceuticals.

Co-Founder // Chief Science & Research Officer
Dr. Bhaswati Bhattacharya, MD PhD MPH is one of the foremost minds in Ayurveda in the US. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, has degrees from Harvard, Columbia and UPenn, and is the world's only Fulbright Scholar to get a PhD in Ayurveda from Banaras Hindu University. With deep experience in the clinical study of Ayurvedic medicine, Dr. Bhaswati will be leading Veda Farms' efforts to grow, formulate and research powerful medicinal botanicals and ground authentic Ayurvedic knowledge in modern clinical science.
