The name
Sacchai (सच्चाई) is Hindi for truth. Here, it means truth in the most practical sense: whether something is what it says it is. The word describes a quality a product holds, not a mark stamped on it once and trusted from then on. That difference is the whole program.

How it came about
It started on a trip to India in 2022. At a cupping, the question came up of which farm and which lot the coffee on the table had come from. The honest answer was that it was not tracked at that level. Lots had been combined and the record kept more broadly. There was nothing deceptive about it; the information the question needed had simply never been recorded. But it meant that any claim tying the coffee to a particular farm or lot would rest on someone’s word.
The same trip turned up the same gap in other products: claims on a label with no record a buyer could check. The products were different; the problem was not.
Back home, the sentence kept recurring: these beans come from this farm. There was no visible record of the path they had actually taken. Sacchai began there.

Now
The current work starts when the green beans are packed and ready to leave the farm. From there to the cup, it maps where provenance and handling records break apart – and what it would take for them to hold together.

Next
Coffee is the first case, not the boundary. Sacchai is being developed toward a platform that producers, processors, roasters, and retailers could build on wherever claims about origin and handling need to be verifiable, not just stated. Early conversations with prospective pilot partners are welcome.
