Our Story
We started TaoRani because no one was making drinks for women's hormones.
By Roshni Razdan, M.S. Food Science · Founded 2025, Chicago
TaoRani is a women-founded Ayurvedic wellness beverage company based in Chicago. Founded by Roshni Razdan (M.S. Food Science, IIT), TaoRani's flagship drink Cycle Glow combines shatavari, spearmint, and ginger in a zero-sugar sparkling format for daily hormonal support.
The Problem
Why TaoRani Exists
The beverage aisle has treated women as an afterthought — sugary teas, energy drinks, "functional" sodas that don't match real cycles or life stages.
You're stuck between sugary drinks and chalky powders. We get it.
TaoRani exists to change that. Our botanicals — Shatavari, Ginger, and Spearmint — are calm, culturally rooted, and easy on your body, from first period through menopause.
"I couldn't find a single grab-and-go product that took women's hormonal health seriously. So we made one."— Roshni Razdan, Founder

I formulated Cycle Glow because I couldn't find a single grab-and-go product that took women's hormonal health seriously. The beverage industry has $200B in revenue and almost nothing designed for the hormonal reality of half the population.

The Name
What Does TaoRani Mean?
Tao (桃) means peach — a symbol of longevity. Rani (रानी) means queen — sovereignty and strength. Together: the queen's path to harmony.
Tao (Peach)
A symbol of longevity. Real white peach for natural sweetness — never fake syrup.
Rani (Queen)
Sovereignty and strength. Formulated to help you rule your cycle, not suffer through it.
The Paisley
Fertility and flow. Our adaptogens support your natural rhythm from first period to menopause.
The peach + paisley badge on every can is a small promise: made with intention, tradition, and respect for your real life.
