In the dynamic landscape of plant-based products startups, a remarkable surge of innovation is reshaping the food industry. Fueled by a growing global awareness of sustainable and ethical consumption, these startups are crafting alternatives that transcend traditional boundaries. From plant-based meats mimicking the texture and taste of their animal counterparts to dairy alternatives that redefine the concept of milk, these ventures are at the forefront of a culinary revolution. As consumers increasingly embrace plant-based lifestyles, these startups not only address dietary preferences but also contribute significantly to the paradigm shift toward a more sustainable and compassionate future.
Established in March 2021, Flavingred Products and Services stands out as a plant-based products startup, strategically positioned across various locations in India, with Mumbai as its central hub and a collaborative laboratory in Coimbatore driving innovation. The company is dedicated to revolutionizing the plant-based foods industry, engaging in the entire value chain, from pioneering ingredients to delivering finished products. At the heart of Flavingred Products and Services’ mission is the commitment to creating distinctive food items for the masses which are nutritious, clean, satiating, minimally processed, and rooted in humane practices.
In the realm of plant-based innovation, Flavingred Products and Services stands as a trailblazer, offering a diverse array of plant-based alternatives across meat, dairy, eggs, and even pet food. The firm's Plant Based Meat selection, including Chicken Patty, Minced Meat (Keema), Sausage,
Galouti Kebabs, and Sheekh Kebabs, is crafted with a commitment to clean labeling, minimal processing, and the absence of common allergens. On the dairy front, Flavingred Products and Services's plant-based offerings blend proteins and fats from nuts, beans, and grains, mimicking the taste and texture of animal milk. Boasting flavors like Coconut, Pista Badam, Passion Fruit, Chocolate, and Coffee, their dairy range caters to diverse preferences.
The ongoing development of plant-based egg alternatives further emphasizes the firm’s dedication to allergen-free options. In a holistic approach, Flavingred Products and Services extends its commitment to sustainability with a pet food line, utilizing proteins derived from the biorefinery industry, contributing to circularity by repurposing non-human consumable resources.
“Our goal is to seamlessly integrate our products into diverse segments, providing people with choices that resonate with their preferences. Recognizing the unique context of Indian culture, we understand that veganism might not be as widely embraced here compared to other markets. India has traditionally been a predominantly vegetarian market, with animal product consumption coexisting. Rather than attempting to replicate or replace existing choices, our aim is to complement the existing market, offering options that align with the diverse culinary landscape and cultural practices,” informs Dr. Rituja Upadhyay, Founder & Director at Flavingred Products and Services.
