Built From the Ground Up

pH6 started on a coffee estate in Karnataka in 1999. Twenty-five years later,
we own three estates, trade 15,000 MT annually across four origins, and have
facilitated over $50M in coffee sector M&A deals. We're not consultants who
studied coffee—we're operators who live it.

Built From the Ground Up—Literally

pH6 started on a coffee estate in Karnataka in 1999. Twenty-five years later,
we own three estates, trade 15,000 MT annually across four origins, and have
facilitated over $50M in coffee sector M&A deals. We're not consultants who
studied coffee—we're operators who live it.

Aterra PH6 is built on practical, execution-driven experience, developed through years of direct involvement across the coffee value chain.

Before incorporating Aterra PH6, Sawan worked independently across:

  • Green coffee sourcing and trading
  • Estate-level advisory and agronomy support
  • Coffee processing and roastery setup advisory
  • Business setup and market entry for coffee companies
  • Investment evaluation and transaction support

In 2025, Aterra PH6 Private Limited was incorporated to institutionalize this experience into a structured platform, enabling long-term engagement with suppliers, clients, and partners.
