Gourmet retail startup Foodstories has secured ₹50 crore in a funding round led by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, with continued backing from the Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office.
The company plans to deploy the capital towards expanding its retail footprint, enhancing its digital capabilities, and strengthening its delivery network.
Founded in 2021 by Avni Biyani and Ashni Biyani, Foodstories is a premium gourmet food and lifestyle platform that blends experiential retail with omnichannel commerce. Its offerings include a curated range of international ingredients, organic produce, artisanal food products, and wellness café experiences across both physical and digital channels.
The brand currently operates stores in Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, and recently launched a flagship outlet in Bandra. It is also preparing to open another store in Mumbai’s Lokhandwala area.
Foodstories allows customers to shop through its website, WhatsApp, phone-based ordering, and brick-and-mortar stores, creating an integrated shopping experience across touchpoints.
Through this model, the startup combines retail, hospitality, and digital commerce while helping consumers discover premium products and enabling food brands to access a broader audience.
The founders also lead Think9, a consumer brand venture studio behind D2C brands such as SuperYou, Good Bug, Anaar, and BiE across nutrition, gut health, fashion, and beauty segments.
