Our Story
Made before the world wakes up.
A home kitchen, a stubborn belief, and a lot of soaked almonds. This is how Break of Dawn began.
How it started
one woman, one blender, one very early morning.
In 2015, Pardita turned vegan, and quickly found that the hard part was staying vegan. Fresh, dairy-free food simply wasn't accessible, and what sat on the shelves was full of preservatives and stabilisers.
So in June 2017 she founded Break of Dawn with a single batch of fresh, preservative-free almond milk, delivered chilled to doorsteps at the crack of dawn. A former diamond grader, she brought the same eye for quality to food. Today an all-women team makes the whole range from scratch, and the vegan feta, now voted India's No.1 plant-based cheese, has become the most talked-about product in the country.
The hands behind it
every recipe still
passes through her hands.
A former diamond grader, Pardita brought the same eye for quality to food. What began as one woman making almond milk for her own family is now an all-women kitchen that feeds a city, and nothing leaves it until she’s tasted it herself.
taste the range →why "break of dawn"?
the first light is the honest one.
Dawn is when everything resets. It's the freshest hour: before shortcuts, before compromise, when milk is at its creamiest and the day still holds its promise. We bottle that moment. Our sunrise mark isn't decoration; it's the whole idea, drawn in three arcs.

The little *** thing
We censor the names.
Never the label.
Almond m***. Vegan ch***. Good s***. It started as an in-joke and became our signature, a wink that says we don't take ourselves too seriously, even if we take the food very seriously indeed.
Flip any product over and there's nothing hidden: whole ingredients, plainly listed, nothing you can't pronounce. The only thing we'll ever bleep out is the punchline.
gather, by break of dawn
where the good s*** is shared.
Our studio isn't just where we cook. It's where we host. Gather is our table: brick walls, a wall of books, and long lunches over things we made that morning. A place to engage, connect & savour.
