Nikhil Solutions | Authorized Dealer Of Adivasi Hair Oil

Hakki Pikki Tribe is primarily found in Western and Southern India. Generally, this tribe resides in forest-adjacent areas. In the Kannada language, “Hakki” means bird, and “Pikki” means one who catches. Their lifestyle was semi-nomadic, and their primary means of livelihood were hunting birds and animals. The community’s mother tongue is Vagri, which belongs to the Indo-Aryan language group, while they use Katrad for daily communication with outsiders. According to the 2001 Census, the population of this community was around 8,414, which increased to 11,892 in the 2011 Census. Today, members of this tribe are mainly found in Pakshirajpura and Tiger Point in Mysore district, Karnataka. As the government banned hunting, the Karnataka government resettled some members of the tribe in 1970 by allotting them land. Over the past 40-50 years, most of them have moved away from hunting and started producing traditional herbal medicines. They have particularly focused on the production of herbal hair oil, made from approximately 108 types of herbs and plants. To sell their traditional medicines, members of the Hakki Pikki tribe travel to various countries, including South Africa, Sudan, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. Today, the hair oil produced by the Hakki Pikki community is globally recognized and in high demand for treating hair fall, dandruff, and regrowth of lost hair. The person who worked tirelessly to establish this Adivasi Hair Oil on a global level is Vinay Kumar, a resident of Pakshirajpura in Hunsur Taluk, Mysore district. Every evening, he and his community collect various herbs from the forest and prepare oil in a large vessel, a process that requires immense effort. Despite its usefulness, the oil initially lacked demand due to limited advertising and public awareness. In 2023, Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi visited the Hakki Pikki community, bringing their oil into global focus and creating a large customer base. Even with high demand, the oil is still made using traditional methods, making it highly beneficial for hair health and beauty.
