𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝑶𝒏𝒆 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚, 𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒆 𝑨𝒏𝒚𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 – 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒆𝒊𝒏 𝑩𝒐𝒙 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒀𝒐𝒖! Like many startups, Protein Box began with modest roots, launching its journey in Nagpur. More than just a meal delivery service, Protein Box is a lifestyle brand dedicated to promoting healthy eating habits. Given the nature of nutritious meals, consistency is key, and that's why many of our customers choose long-term subscriptions to maintain their health goals. Our vision goes beyond delivering meals to one city. We imagined a seamless experience where, once someone becomes a Protein Box customer, they should never have to miss out on their healthy meals, even when traveling or relocating. Eventually, we aim to make Protein Box available in every major city. The image you see isn't just another meal being delivered to an office. This particular customer initially enjoyed Protein Box meals in one city, and after being transferred, they continued receiving our meals in their new location. It's a small but meaningful step toward our larger goal: making nutritious, healthy meals accessible to everyone, no matter where they live, work, or travel. Think Health! Think Protein Box! www.protein-box.com

Many people know me as the founder of FirstBud Organics But it is not my first business. Back in 2014 I started my own agency named as Viralwid Media. But it failed in 3 years, and after that, Fisrtbud got into the picture. So here are the 3 mistakes that I made in my business that led it to drop, and I didn't repeat that mistake in my second venture. I'm sharing these because I don't want you to repeat these mistakes for your first business, which I did. 1/ Not researching the market enough: I didn't check the demand or competition properly before starting. 2/ Growing too fast: I expanded our services too quickly without thinking about whether we could handle it. 3/ Hiring early: I hired too many people without thinking if they were the right fit. What were the mistakes you made while building your first business? #MitreshSharrma #Fisrtbud #founder

Sports nutrition startup Nutrabay has launched Shilajit, marking its entry into the ayurvedic market, co-founder Shreyans Jain announced. This move helps Nutrabay expand its audience and strengthen its position as a holistic nutrition brand. "Although Shilajit is an ayurvedic product, it is popular among gym-goers, and this launch aligns with our goal of becoming the go-to for all nutrition needs," Jain stated. The product is priced 15% lower than similar offerings, allowing for lower margins and significant savings on marketing costs. Founded in 2017 by Divay Jain, Sharad Jain, and Shreyans Jain, Nutrabay operates in sports nutrition, vitamins, and health foods. The startup recently secured $5 million in Series A funding and reported Rs 99 crore in revenue for FY24.

Subculture evolving with Plant-based food category.  Plant-Based Food Market Booming: A Look at the U.S. and India The plant-based food industry is experiencing significant growth, driven by factors like increasing health consciousness and environmental concerns.  According to a report by GFI, the U.S. plant-based food market is valued at $8.1 bn and is projected to continue growing. However, the industry also faces challenges such as price increases and inflation. Consumers are demanding more affordable and tastier plant−based options. India′s Plant−Based Food Market: A Land of Opportunity India presents a fascinating market for plant−based foods. The Indian vegan food market was valued at US 1,372.3 million in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2,756.6 million by 2030, reflecting a CAGR of 9.1%. This growth is driven by several factors, including: 😀 Rising health awareness: More and more Indians are becoming aware of the health benefits of plant-based diets. 😀 Environmental concerns: There is a growing concern about the environmental impact of animal agriculture, which is leading some consumers to choose plant-based alternatives. 😀 Cultural acceptance: India already has a large vegetarian population, making transitioning to plant-based foods easier. However, some challenges need to be addressed, such as: 🤑 Affordability: Plant-based meat alternatives can be expensive compared to traditional meat products. 😎 Availability: Plant-based food options are not yet widely available in all parts of India. 😉 Awareness: There is still a need to educate consumers about the benefits of plant-based foods. Overall, the plant-based food market in India is poised for significant growth, development of subculture and evolution till it becomes a pop culture to help the category grow. #plantbased #india #foodindustry #sustainability #health #subculture #consumerbehaviour #popularculture

𝗕𝘂𝗳𝗳𝗮𝗹𝗼 𝗠𝗶𝗹𝗸 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘀: 𝗔 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗧𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗕𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮? India, as the largest producer of buffalo milk globally, has immense potential to turn buffalo milk products into a mainstream category. With buffalo milk's higher fat content and superior cheesemaking properties, it’s ideal for producing premium dairy products like artisanal cheeses and desserts. A 2022 study found buffalo milk yields more fresh cheese than cow’s milk and firms up faster, making it highly efficient. In Europe, artisanal producers like Quattro Portoni Srl Società Agricola and La Dispensa di San Salvatore have already tapped into this potential, offering a range of award-winning cheeses and desserts like #cremoso. Though still niche in the UK market, consumer acceptance is rising, especially for its mild, creamy flavor. The question is: can India replicate this success? Opportunities in India: 1. Cheese Production: With buffalo milk’s rich properties, Indian producers can explore more artisanal varieties beyond mozzarella. 2. Premium Desserts & Yogurts: Flavored yogurt and desserts like cremoso could cater to India’s premium segment, offering a high-quality, natural alternative. 3. Foodservice Expansion: Hotels, gourmet stores, and premium restaurants can introduce these products to consumers seeking new experiences in dairy. 4. Challenges: To go mainstream, buffalo milk products need more exposure and marketing, positioning them as premium, health-conscious alternatives. There’s also an opportunity to collaborate with local suppliers to drive both consumer awareness and sustainable growth. India is poised to become a leader in buffalo milk-based premium products. The time is ripe for this trend to flourish. #BuffaloMilk #ArtisanalCheese #SustainableDairy #Shuddhilok #DairyInnovation #OrganicFarming

Ready to disrupt the Indian food market? Start by watching this Podcast. At Bajo Foods, we believe building a brand that resonates with consumers goes far beyond creating a great product. 🎙️ Recently, our founder was invited by Dilip Kumar from Rainmatter by Zerodha for an insightful podcast. They were joined by Ahana Gautam, Founder of Open Secret. In this podcast, they explore the journey of creating products that health-conscious Indians love, navigating India's diverse market, setting sustainable prices, and overcoming distribution challenges. But here’s the kicker: 📊 60% of Indians are trying to eat healthier, but only 20% understand what makes a product healthy. How do you educate and convert this audience? 💡 70% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for healthier options, yet only 30% do. What drives this gap? 🤝 95% of consumers say they’re more likely to be loyal to a brand that’s transparent about its ingredients. How do you build that trust? The answers to these questions might surprise you. Go and watch the Podcast. 🎥 It is live on YouTube! 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gyn6r5BY If you’re curious about how to build a brand that not only stands out but also makes a real difference in people’s lives, this Podcast is for you. #BajoFoods #HealthyEating #HealthyIndia

Boost isn’t the secret of Sachin’s energy anymore. Have you seen this news? Bournvita, Horlicks, and Boost are out of the health drink category. After the Union Ministry’s advisory ecom companies need to remove them from the health drink bracket. The interesting thing for me as a media buying guy is -  > Health (& taste) has been their USP. > How much impact the change in USP will have in upcoming sales. In our campaigns, we always notice the importance of a consistent USP. Campaigns with a clear USP woven through  ⤷ the ad copy ⤷ product page ⤷ checkout page ⤷ even WhatsApp follow-ups Those are the winners. Break that flow, and you lose the customer. . . . . . P.S. What’s your prediction? Will their sales tank, or will people buy them anyway? It's a real-world test case for the importance of USP 🙂 . . . . . #ecommerceagency #ecommerceads #metaads #whatsappmarketing
