Karan Savio Menon and Joanita Gabriela Britto Menon- A Journey Rooted in Tradition, Guided by Passion, and Shaping the Future of Baking.

Karan, a financial planner, and Joanita, a human rights lawyer, embarked on their baking adventure, driven by their deep connection to the art of baking that spanned generations. Karan's grandparents owned a renowned Irani café in Bombay, celebrated for their irresistible bun maska, while Joanita's grandfather established a bakery in Chapora, Goa. It was here, in the warmth of their family kitchens, that the seeds of their baking passion were sown.

Their love for all things baked blossomed into Menitto Bakers—combining Karan's surname, Menon, with Joanita's maiden name, Britto. The duo's journey took a transformative turn during the lockdown of 2020 when the craving for delectable desserts prompted them to experiment with healthier alternatives. Dissatisfied with the excessive use of refined flour and sugar, they innovatively substituted freshly ground oat flour and powdered jaggery, unlocking a new world of guilt-free indulgence.
