SoupX opened its first outlet – SoupX – Sip of Health – at Aarvy Healthcare Hospital, Gurugram, signalling the scale-up of a hospital-linked food services format designed for patients, caregivers, medical staff, and visitors.
“When people are in a hospital, they are often there for extended hours: patients, family members, and medical teams alike,” said Surinder Arora, Chairman, Jasper Group, who joined as the Guest of Honour. “In such environments, access to food that is clean, balanced, and easy to consume becomes important to the overall experience. SoupX – Sip of Health has been created to work alongside existing hospital facilities by offering a reliable option for simple, nutritious meals within
the premises, through a format that can be maintained with consistency as it expands to more locations.”
The inauguration was attended by Radha Mohan Singh, Member of Parliament (BJP), Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Defence, and former Union Cabinet Minister,
who served as the Chief Guest, along with policymakers and industry representatives. The event also saw the presence of Mahender Singh Prajapati and Naresh Kumar Kumawat, along with senior officials from government-linked banking institutions.
These outlets operate on standardised preparation processes, hygiene protocols, and portion-controlled menus suited for high-footfall healthcare settings. SoupX plans to open 12–15 additional outlets across Delhi-NCR over the next three months and scale the network to around 1,000 outlets nationwide over the next five years.
Uttam Kumar, Founder & CEO, SoupX, said, “The outlet format has been built around operational consistency, from sourcing and preparation to hygiene and portion control, to ensure the same experience is delivered every day within hospital settings. Our immediate focus is on getting the execution right across healthcare locations, understanding footfall patterns and usage behaviour, and only then taking the model to other suitable environments.”
India’s institutional food services market has expanded steadily alongside the growth of private healthcare infrastructure, with hospitals increasingly seeking structured food partners that meet hygiene and nutritional standards.
