Indian healthy food startup Khetika has successfully raised $18 million in its Series B funding round, marking a significant milestone for the brand focused on preservative-free processed foods. The funding round was co-led by the Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office and Anicut Capital, showcasing strong investor confidence in Khetika's mission to revolutionize the healthy food sector in India.
Founded in 2021 by Darshan Krishnamurthy, Prithwi Singh, and another co-founder, Khetika has quickly gained traction by offering a range of dry fruits, pulses, and other wholesome products. The brand aims to cater to the growing demand for clean, natural food options among health-conscious consumers.
This fresh capital infusion will enable Khetika to scale its operations, enhance product development, and expand its market reach across India and potentially beyond. The company plans to invest in innovative packaging solutions to maintain product freshness without artificial preservatives.
'We are thrilled to partner with visionary investors who share our goal of making healthy eating accessible to everyone,' said a spokesperson from Khetika.
The Indian food tech industry is witnessing rapid growth, with startups like Khetika leading the charge in the healthy food segment. The $18M funding will also support Khetika in strengthening its supply chain and building a robust distribution network to meet rising consumer demand.
As Khetika continues to grow, it faces competition from numerous players in the food tech space, with over 589 competitors in the market. However, its focus on quality and transparency positions it as a promising contender in the industry.
