Our Journey

From a Folding Table to Your Pantry

Lila's Pops didn't start with a business plan. It started with a market stall, a college care package, and a name that came later than you'd think.

From the Farmers Market

It started after COVID, with a folding table at the Royal Oak Farmers Market. The very first thing we ever sold wasn't a snack. It was meal kits, the same ones we used to send to Rishabh when he left for college in California.

Karma Pops Is Born

Our first batch of Makhana pops came in 5 flavors, a snack we grew up eating, shared first with Rishabh, then friends and family. It caught on fast enough that we brought it to the Farmington Farmers Market next.

Our First Store

Word of mouth turned into our first real shelf space: Meijer's Bridgestreet store in Grand Rapids. That's the moment this stopped being a market-stall side project.

Becoming Lila's Pops

In 2026, we renamed our pops Lila's Pops, after our mothers, both named Lila, who passed us their love for food. Karma Teas kept its name, as the kitchen kept growing around both of them.

Today & What's Next

Lila's Pops is now on shelves in 150+ wholesale stores. We're expanding into flavors familiar to the American palate: Apple Cinnamon, Pumpkin Spice, and Candy Cane are already out, with Habanero Lime and Dill Pickle coming soon.
