Not every beverage brand starts with a dream. Some start with two decades of hard-won experience, a clear gap in the market, and the kind of restless ambition that refuses to sit still.

That is the story behind GreenHorn NZ and its flagship product, Mango Blast. Co-founder Ravinder Singh brings more than 20 years of retail and beverage industry experience to the brand, including time spent launching major international names like Johnnie Walker across the New Zealand market. He knows what it takes to build consumer trust around a drink, and he knows what Kiwis actually want when they reach into a fridge.

"Like any passionate business owner, my goal with GreenHorn NZ is to grow the market by offering something people already love," says Ravinder. That instinct led him to mango, a fruit universally adored, unmistakably tropical, and deeply familiar to New Zealand's diverse communities.

The result is Mango Blast: a caffeine-free, sparkling refreshment made with real mango pulp and natural flavours, no artificial sweeteners, no jittery energy spike, just an honest, vibrant drink built for everyday moments and special occasions alike.

Since launching, GreenHorn NZ has wasted no time getting in front of New Zealanders. The brand has appeared at CreatorCon and The Food Show, giving people the chance to taste Mango Blast firsthand, generating strong early feedback, particularly among younger consumers and families. The brand has also partnered with national platforms like Miss New Zealand 2026 and Miss Teenager Universe New Zealand 2026, putting Mango Blast on the table at some of the country's most high-profile celebrations, and with the partnership already confirmed for 2027, that presence is only set to grow.

Driving it all is a vision bigger than a single can. Ravinder's goal is to build a proudly New Zealand-made product that earns global recognition, something Aotearoa can call its own on the world stage.

And if a few dads cracked one open to celebrate Father's Day this weekend? Even better. That is exactly the kind of everyday moment GreenHorn NZ was made for.
