Who We Are

A US Importer Built on Grain, Trust & Grit

ONDSHIP is a San Jose, California-based Basmati rice importer. We source exclusively from NPPO-verified, FSSAI-licensed mills across the GI-designated Basmati growing belt of Northern India — Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh — and bring that quality directly to US food service operators and retail buyers.

Every shipment we bring in is lab-tested for pesticide residues and heavy metals before it leaves the mill. If it doesn't pass inspection, it doesn't ship — period. FDA-ready, CBP-cleared, and traceable back to the mill it came from.

What We Stand For

Our Core Values

Everything we do at ONDSHIP is guided by a clear set of principles — from how we source our grain to how we serve our partners.

🌾
Uncompromising Quality

We source only from select farms in Punjab's prime Basmati belt. Every batch is tested for aroma, grain length, moisture content, and cooking quality before it leaves our facility.

🤝
Integrity in Every Deal

We believe in transparent pricing, honest documentation, and clear communication. Our partners trust us because we say what we do — and do what we say.

🚢
Reliable Delivery

Our slogan says it best: "Right. on the Ship." We coordinate every step of the supply chain to ensure timely dispatch, proper packaging, and smooth customs clearance.

📋
Tested Every Shipment

Before any container ships, we require lab test reports confirming pesticide residue and heavy metal levels are within safe limits. Only clean shipments get our approval. This isn't optional — it's the baseline.

🌾
Mill-Level Traceability

We know exactly which NPPO-approved mill every bag came from. That traceability is your guarantee — and ours — that the rice inside is authentic, safe, and exactly what the label says.

🌱
Long-Term Partnerships

We're not in the business of one-time transactions. Our goal is to build lasting relationships with importers and distributors who value consistency and craftsmanship.

Our Journey

How ONDSHIP Came to Be

🌾
The Insight

A Gap in the US Basmati Market

US food service operators and retail buyers were struggling to find a reliable, consistent source of authentic Basmati rice — one they could trust for quality, documentation, and on-time delivery. Most importers treated Basmati as a commodity. We saw an opportunity to do it differently.

🏢
The Start

Founded in San Jose, California

ONDSHIP was established as a US-based importer, headquartered in San Jose, CA — positioned at the heart of one of America's most diverse and food-forward markets. From day one, the model was simple: source only from NPPO-verified mills, handle all customs ourselves, and stand behind every shipment.

📜
Sourcing Standards

Building the Mill Network

We spent considerable time vetting mills across the GI-designated Basmati belt — Haryana, Punjab, Uttarakhand, and Uttar Pradesh. Every partner mill we work with holds NPPO phytosanitary clearance, an active FSSAI licence, and meets FDA pesticide residue standards before we commit to a single container.

🚢
First Shipments

Rice Arriving, Cleared, Delivered

Our first shipments arrived with full pre-shipment lab reports — pesticide residues and heavy metals tested and within limits — FDA-compliant and CBP-cleared, on time. Buyers who'd previously dealt with delays, inconsistent quality, and documentation headaches noticed the difference immediately.

🚀
Today & Beyond

Scaling With Purpose

Today ONDSHIP is growing its buyer network across the US — food service distributors, ethnic grocery chains, restaurant groups, and specialty retailers. Our focus remains unchanged: premium GI-tagged Basmati, sourced right, cleared right, delivered right.
