New Delhi, India — Delhi-based clean-label snacking startup Khari Foods has raised ₹3 crore (~$350,000) in a seed funding round led by Meri Punji IMF Private Limited, marking a significant milestone in its journey to disrupt India’s healthy snacking market.
The fresh capital will be deployed to accelerate research and development, boost new product innovation, expand its core team, and scale marketing and distribution networks, with a strong focus on Tier I and Tier II cities.
Building the Future of Clean Snacking
Founded in 2022 by Yash and Sunil Bansal, Khari Foods is redefining how India snacks by offering palm oil-free and maida-free products that align with the growing demand for clean and conscious consumption. The brand’s portfolio includes Ragi Crispies, Oats Crispies, Jowar Puffs, and date-based energy snacks—targeted toward health-conscious consumers aged 20–40 in both urban and semi-urban regions.
