<p class="wp-block-paragraph">FMCG Food products manufacturer The Health Factory, which was founded in 2018, has expanded its Zero Maida Range product portfolio with the launch of four news products.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commenting on the occasion, <strong>Vinay Maheshwari</strong>, <em>CEO</em>, said, “At The Health Factory, we have been aggressively expanding our manifesto, portfolio, and operations this fiscal based on our research market and the demand of zero maida products and other baked goods. Based on this, we decided to expand the Zero Maida Range to match the changing demand of new-age consumers. With our new range of healthy products, we will be catering to the needs of every age group.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He added that the company expects 2x revenue growth after the introduction of the new SKUs. “Th new products are expected to contribute up to 15% of the overall revenue. We are aggressively marketing these products.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In addition to being maida-free, The Health Factory’s new products are free of artificial additives, preservatives, and trans fats, making them an ideal choice for individuals seeking clean label options. By harnessing the power of natural ingredients and innovative food technologies, The Health Factory continues to redefine the landscape of healthy, guilt-free eating.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Health Factory’s new Zero Maida products are now available on Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Zepto in Mumbai, Pune, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Chennai and Hyderabad across general and modern trade stores.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dharampal Satyapal Foods Ltd. (DSFL), the confectionery arm of DS Group, has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing ₹1,000 crores in annual sales turnover for FY 2023-24.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The confectionery division of DS Group has grown at over 20% CAGR over the past three years, outpacing the industry growth rate of 9%. The company plans to accelerate its business with an estimated CAGR of 30% over the next five years through&nbsp;both&nbsp;organic and inorganic growth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With one of the largest distribution networks in the country, DS&nbsp;Group’s&nbsp;confectionery products are available in over 26 lakh&nbsp;retail outlets, both directly and indirectly. The company holds a close dominant market share in the Hard-Boiled Candy (HBC) and Indian Ethnic Confectionery (IEC) segments&nbsp;as&nbsp;compared to its competitors. This growth&nbsp;is driven&nbsp;by innovation and a route-to-market omnichannel strategy, including modern retail, e-commerce, and quick commerce channels.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Aligned with its sustainability goals, DS Group has deployed a robust fleet of over 800 electric vehicles&nbsp;for the distribution of&nbsp;its confectionery products, contributing to a cleaner environment. Additionally, DSFL has successfully transformed the Indian Ethnic Confectionery category into a branded and organized market, providing consumers with unique options that cater to their preferences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Leveraging its deep understanding of the flavors and tastes of modern India, DS Group is strategically modernizing its ethnic product portfolio. The company focuses on Gen Z habits, strengthens modern trade channels, capitalizes on influencer marketing, and harnesses new-age technologies to amplify product reach, embodying its corporate ideology of&nbsp;‘Create What is Worth Creating’.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commenting on the milestone, <strong>Rajiv Kumar,</strong> <em>Vice Chairman, DS Group,</em> said, “We are thrilled to announce the ₹1,000 crore sales turnover of our confectionery arm in FY 2023-24. This achievement results from our strategic focus on enhancing indigenization, expanding our product portfolio, and maintaining one of the largest distribution networks in the country. Looking ahead, we aim to grow our presence in the chocolate segment while strategically expanding our leadership position in the Indian ethnic confectionery category with innovative products.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Currently, DS Group holds a strong position in North and East India and is strategically expanding its presence in South and West India. The company aims to achieve a sales turnover of Rs 5,000 crore over the next five years.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ghost Kitchens India, a food-tech platform, has announced its expansion into Gujarat through the acquisition of Shy Tiger, a prominent cloud kitchen company based in Ahmedabad. This strategic move not only strengthens Ghost Kitchens&#8217; presence in the Gujarat market but also provides a platform for further expansion and growth.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The acquisition follows Ghost Kitchens&#8217; successful fundraising round earlier in February 2024, where the company secured USD 5 million in equity and debt, showcasing its robust financial position and strategic foresight.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Established in 2018, Shy Tiger operates five multi-brand cloud kitchens across Ahmedabad, with an annual run rate (ARR) of INR 5 crores. Led by Director Milapsinh Jadeja, the company has built a strong portfolio featuring renowned brands such as KBOB&#8217;S and The Black Chimney. Ghost Kitchens&#8217; acquisition of Shy Tiger Brands aims to consolidate its presence in Gujarat while integrating its existing brands into Shy Tiger’s infrastructure.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Commenting on the acquisition,&nbsp;<strong>Karan Tanna,</strong>&nbsp;<em>Founder &amp; CEO, Ghost Kitchens,</em>&nbsp;said, “KBOB’s and The Black Chimney are 15-year-old brands in Ahmedabad. We saw this as an opportunity to scale these brands and expand our presence in the Gujarat market. Moreover, brand affinity and customer repeat ratio give us a strong position to build up a business. Apart from plugging our brands in their existing kitchens, we could improve their unit economics and get a substantial yield from each kitchen in the state.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Earlier in 2022, Ghost Kitchens had acquired a technology company- WTF which helped them create their proprietary technology, allowing Ghost Kitchens to manage their end-to-end business and to make it more efficient to generate organic revenue, better customer experience, and higher profitability. In February 2023, Ghost Kitchens expanded its portfolio by acquiring Speak Burgers, a venture by celebrity Chef Vicky Ratnani, with plans to establish 25 offline retail stores in the next 18-24 months.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Milapsinh Jadeja,</strong>&nbsp;<em>Director, Shy Tiger,&nbsp;</em>expressed confidence in Ghost Kitchens&#8217; business model, praising its use of technology to optimize operations. With Ghost Kitchens&#8217; capabilities, processes, and tech stack, Shy Tiger&#8217;s portfolio brands have the potential for nationwide expansion.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Ghost Kitchens, founded in 2019, and operates over 15 company-owned and operated cloud kitchens in Mumbai and Ahmedabad, along with 1200 internet restaurants across 40 Indian cities. With its plans for growth, including launching celebrity brands and venturing into retail stores, the company aims to achieve an annual revenue of approximately 200 crores in the next 2 years.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the year 2018, a new startup dared to step into the formidable realm of the FMCG industry which is known for its intricacies and challenges that can daunt even the boldest of entrepreneur.&nbsp; udaan kicked off in this realm relentlessly and in a mere seven years since its inception in 2015, udaan tapped into the treasure trove of opportunities in the FMCG sector waiting to be explored.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">udaan set out to become the bridge between manufacturers, wholesalers, and retailers, with a mission to reduce inefficiencies and expand the array of FMCG products available in the market. Their strategy was nothing short of meticulous. Every facet of FMCG trade underwent thorough scrutiny, guided by a crystal-clear vision. udaan’s FMCG business success story is an ode to ambition, strategy, and an unyielding spirit. It serves as a reminder that within challenges lie immense opportunities. Inefficiencies can be transformed into streamlined efficiency, and dreams can be turned into a thrilling reality. udaan’s journey in the FMCG landscape has been significant, but the story is far from over.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Bridging Gaps and Streamlining Trade</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the dynamic world of the FMCG industry, udaan has become a champion for small and medium-sized retailers, bridging access gaps and opening doors to a wider array of choices for retailer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Retailers have the convenience of downloading the udaan app and uploading the necessary documents for placing orders. They no longer need to wait for a specific representative to visit them. With udaan, buyers of all classes can directly order products through the app from their outlet and enjoy the benefits of doorstep delivery.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Conventional distribution systems restrict direct delivery to high-level outlets.&nbsp; A larger number of buyers had to visit wholesale markets to procure their merchandise. This poses significant challenges for the buyers, impacting their business operations as they have to temporarily close their outlets during these trips.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Going beyond its own corporate ambitions, udaan is making a determined effort to revolutionize the FMCG sector, embedding efficiency into every aspect of the trade. <strong>Vinay Shrivastava, Business Head for FMCG</strong> at <strong>udaan</strong>, is a driving force behind this transformative mission. He emphasizes the company’s strong commitment to customer satisfaction, with a vision to provide a convenient one-stop shop where tailored product availability is the norm.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="316" height="304" src="https://businessoffood.in/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/vinay-shrivastava-udaan.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-1091" style="width:310px;height:auto"/></figure>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">‘‘Our objective is to build udaan as the most favored destination for FMCG buyers. udaan’s motto for the FMCG retail buyer is: ‘<strong>One Stop Shop Available Every day at Fair Price</strong> and <strong>Easy to Deal With</strong>,’’says Shrivastava.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He further adds that udaan’s platform has an extensive catalog of 2,000-3,000 SKUs from over 400+ FMCG brands which is available every day making udaan one of the largest for any eB2B company. From home care to personal care and foods to beverages, udaan offers an extensive range of products. And it doesn’t just stop at listings; the platform has set high standards with a remarkable 98.4% compliance rate for Next-Day Delivery (NDD).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Geographic expansion forms the cornerstone of udaan’s strategy, and it extends beyond mere geographical reach. It’s about democratizing the FMCG sector and igniting economic growth. udaan has become the trusted partner for businesses of all sizes, offering not just reliability but timely deliveries and a level of transparency in the industry.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what set udaan apart are not just its extensive offerings or efficiency but it’s their commitment to fair pricing. They employ dynamic pricing that reflects real-time market conditions, giving retailers access to transparent and equitable pricing. Their digital platform is more than user-friendly and it’s a game-changer in the world of hassle-free purchasing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tracking shipments and processing payments has becomes a breeze, thanks to udaan’s intuitive platform. But their support goes beyond the basics; they empower buyers with accessible credit options, offering a financial lifeline to retailers.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Perhaps one of the most remarkable aspects of udaan is their “<strong>no-questions-asked” return policy.</strong> “It’s not just a policy; it’s a testament to our commitment to customer satisfaction. When a product falls short, we take it back without hesitation, underlining that ‘trust’ isn’t just a slogan; it’s a way of life for us,” avers Shrivastava.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But udaan’s mission extends far beyond to cover many more aspects. They offer data-driven insights that enhance profitability and foster win-win partnerships with their customers. Their vision is clear: to become the “<strong>Partner of Choice</strong>.” It revolves around trust, transparency, and customer-centric solutions. In a competitive market, udaan is well-positioned to support retailers and establish themselves as a partner of choice where trust fuels retail’s success.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Transforming Rural FMCG Distribution</strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The company has embarked on an ambitious initiative called ‘<strong>Project Vistaar’</strong>, designed to overhaul the FMCG distribution landscape. Its impact is particularly profound in rural India, where udaan initially focused on ten districts in Eastern Uttar Pradesh and aspires to extend its influence to Bihar, the North East, and Karnataka.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We initiated Project Vistaar to empower small retailers and kirana store owners with access to a wide range of food and FMCG products. Our initial goal is to onboard retailers in 4,100 towns and villages across Uttar Pradesh, expanding our regional presence. Our vision is to reach 15,000 towns and villages by the end of 2023, providing a comprehensive range of products and services to an expanding network of retailers,” says Shrivastava.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As a modern commerce trailblazer, udaan’s commitment extends beyond urban landscapes; it ignites economic growth by democratizing commerce in the heart of rural India through Project Vistaar, expanding horizons for partner brands.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Presenting Extensive Product Portfolio and New Launches</strong></p>

Their innovative approach solidifies their position as the preferred brand choice, especially those brands/companies seeking for product launches.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In the world of FMCG, launching new products can be a daunting challenge, but udaan has ingeniously designed a cost-effective platform for new product launches within their existing buyer base, underpinned by their resolve to innovate.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Execution of new product launch has always been challenge for most FMCG companies and it’s one of the unsolved problems. udaan has built a very strong vehicle for new launches across our existing buyer base. It allows our partners to test the market much more economically and tweak their offerings accordingly. We have become a partner of choice or I would like to say a ‘favored new launch vehicle’ for brands,” says Shrivastava.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Going beyond transaction facilitation, udaan nurtures substantial relationships with vendors and partners, while delivering comprehensive data and data-driven insights that catalyze collective business growth. More than being just a platform for driving commerce, udaan plays the role of a progressive partner, steering businesses towards a brighter and more prosperous future.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This success is rooted in their meticulously organized supply chain, made sharper with cutting-edge technology. The platform ensures that products reach buyers, whether they reside in bustling urban centers or remote rural landscapes, acting as a catalyst for economic growth on every front.</p>

This has made our supply chain more responsive and ensures high availability of our entire portfolio every day to the buyer.’’</p>
