The Story Behind Uncle Saba’s Poppadoms

The journey of Uncle Saba’s Poppadoms began in late 2015 when co-founder Sreenivas Saba and his father, Mr. S R Saba, decided to reposition their existing ready-to-cook poppadom brand ‘Tajmahal Pappad’ as a plant-based snack that would appeal to a wider audience. The company’s roots can be traced back to over a century ago when Uncle Saba’s father first arrived in Singapore in 1919 and set up a small shop. Today, Uncle Saba’s Poppadoms is a global brand, proudly sharing its delicious and nutritious snacks with the world.
