Protein Pantry Raises Rs 9 Cr in Seed Funding Led by Sharrp Ventures
The fresh capital will primarily be used to set up and scale Protein Pantry’s manufacturing capacity, alongside investments in research and development and its supply chain.
Delhi-based high-protein frozen food brand Protein Pantry has raised Rs 9 crore in a seed funding round led by Sharrp Ventures, with participation from Peercheque, Consumer Collective by Atrium and Indian Silicon Valley Capital.
The round also saw participation from angels including Varun Alagh of Honasa, Rishubh Satiya of Plix, Avnish Anand of CaratLane, Arush Chopra of Just Herbs and Saurabh Munjal of Lahori Zeera, along with Signal Ventures and others.
Founded by Disha Bhattacharya and Prashanth Bhushan, Protein Pantry was launched in November 2025 with a focus on building high-protein, vegetarian frozen foods using Indian ingredients. The brand aims to bring protein into everyday meals rather than positioning it primarily as a supplement or snack.
Protein Pantry currently offers products such as soya chaap, kebabs, cutlets and falafels. Its products are baked rather than fried and are made without refined flour, preservatives or palm oil. The company manufactures its chaap base, marinades and sauces in-house.
The startup said it has served more than 30,000 households since its launch and has recorded a strong repeat rate. It currently sells through its D2C platform across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Jaipur, while its products are available on quick-commerce platforms including Blinkit, FirstClub and Flipkart Minutes across Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.
The fresh capital will primarily be used to set up and scale Protein Pantry’s manufacturing capacity, alongside investments in research and development and its supply chain. The company will also allocate funds towards marketing and working capital.
Protein Pantry plans to expand its quick-commerce presence to Pune, Kolkata, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Ludhiana and Chennai by the end of 2026. Over the next 12 to 24 months, it aims to expand into all major Indian cities through D2C and quick-commerce channels while adding more high-protein products across categories.
The company said its manufacturing setup will allow it to maintain greater control over recipes, nutritional profiles and pricing while developing new ready-to-cook formats.
