Our Story
Born from a Love of Ritual
We believe that a cup of tea is more than a beverage - it's a moment of mindfulness, a pause, and a quiet celebration of the senses.
The Beginning
A Founder's Journey
Feelinga was born when our founder and managing director, Kailas Ishwar Mane, decided to share his passion for premium Indian teas with the world. A B.Sc. Agriculture graduate from VNMKV, Parbhani, Kailas brings a deep understanding of cultivation, soil science, and sustainable farming to every cup of tea we offer.
Raised in Pandharpur, Maharashtra - the spiritual heartland of the Deccan - Kailas developed a deep appreciation for authentic flavors and the simple joy that a perfect cup of tea can bring. In January 2025 he turned this passion into a venture, incorporating Vithubadayaji Industries Private Limited and launching the Feelinga brand to bring India's finest teas to every doorstep.
Standing alongside Kailas is his co-director Jagabai Ishwar Mane, whose unwavering support and shared belief in the brand has been a cornerstone of Feelinga's journey from day one.
"I wanted people to experience tea the way it's meant to be - not just a drink, but a daily dose of happiness." - Kailas Ishwar Mane, Founder and Managing Director
