Taste meets convenience
In the F&B landscape there didn't exist any brand who we could befriend as a customer and have conversations with. Brands have always been pushing products that suits them in terms of achieving economies of scale and profitability but ignored the customer completely. But times have changed and now the customer is looking for more context and information than mere products.
It really bothered us as to why is there no brand which ticked all boxes for the customers; Taste, Nutrition, Safety, Versatility, Trust worthiness.
Therefore, the day we started our entrepreneurial journey in food, we were very clear we got to address these pain-points of customers. It took us months of hard work figuring it out & btw, we leant it the hard way. We are happy that we have been successful in building a superior product. Of course we love to learn & unlearn, while we continue to grow.
Our Story
Kalchi was born in summer of 2017, when Sudeep and Payal having already ventured into diverse formats in the food & beverage industry, identified a gap in the availability of safe, affordable and nutritious packaged products. Like other young & busy parents, they were always struggling to prepare delicious and nutritious quick meals for their children.
Then began the real work. A skilled Chef was hired, trials began in Payal's home kitchen, lab tests were done to get reasonable shelf life. First product prototype was ready for A/B testing within their residential community. Feedback was gathered and iterations were made again and again to achieve the best results.
