Mitra Raman had been working as a Software Engineer at Amazon since graduating from college with a B.S. in Computer Science for 2 years when she got an idea to help people make authentic, healthy, and fresh ethnic foods with just 10 minutes and a pot of water. After a few months of figuring out the business model and nailing down the recipes, she officially launched The Buttermilk Company in June 2017. The name hits close to home -- Mitra's parents immigrated to the United States from India and buttermilk is used in many traditional South Indian dishes that she grew up with. She hopes that the food she provides will make customers feel at home, too. The Buttermilk Company opened to its Beta users in October 2017 + will be opening to all Washington residents on 11/15!
