Delhi-based clean-label snacking startup Khari Foods has raised ₹3 crore (~$350K) in a seed funding round led by Meri Punji IMF Pvt. Ltd.
The funds will be strategically deployed to enhance R&D, drive new product innovation, expand the internal team, and scale marketing and distribution efforts, with a focused push across Tier I and Tier II cities.
Founded in 2022 by Yash Bansal (CEO) and Sunil Bansal (COO), Khari Foods is a homegrown brand offering palm oil-free and maida-free snacks, including Ragi Crispies, Oats Crispies, Beetroot Crispies, Jowar Puffs, and dates-based snack bars.
The company targets health-conscious consumers aged 20 to 40 in urban and semi-urban markets.
Operating from its own manufacturing facility in Haryana, Khari Foods maintains end-to-end control over its supply chain, allowing for high product consistency and agile innovation.
The brand has been bootstrapped and profitable since inception and is now positioned for rapid scale.
Khari Foods is on track to achieve a 208% increase in its Annual Revenue Run Rate (ARR) in FY25, highlighting robust market momentum. Its focus on clean-label formulations, functional nutrition, and ingredient integrity has helped build strong resonance with its customer base.
The latest fundraise aims to further strengthen brand presence across both digital platforms and offline retail, while supporting the launch of new product categories that align with evolving consumer preferences.
