They said healthy snacks don’t sell in India. This startup proved everyone wrong—and investors can’t stop pouring in money.
The Snack Startup That Turned Dry Fruit Laddoos Into a Multi-Crore Empire
In a world where fried chips and sugar-loaded bars dominate the market, one Indian family decided to go against the grain—literally.
Eat Better Co, the clean-label snacking brand founded by Mridula, Vidushi, and Shaurya Kanoria, just bagged Rs 17 crore in pre-Series A funding, and the reason behind their meteoric rise might just change how you snack forever.
Backed by Prath Ventures and Spring Marketing Capital, along with existing believers, this round is all about one thing: scaling healthy snacking in India like never before.
From Kitchen Experiments to Rs 100 Crore Valuation
It all started in 2020, when the Kanorias were tired of so-called “healthy” snacks that were full of hidden sugars, preservatives, and labels only a chemist could understand. They created Eat Better Co in their kitchen—focused on clean, honest ingredients.
Three years later, they’re shipping across India, partnering with Zepto, Blinkit, and Swiggy Instamart, and bringing in double- and triple-digit revenue growth.
And yes, they even got a deal on Shark Tank India, walking away with a Rs 50 lakh investment and a valuation that stunned the sharks.
What’s in These Snacks That’s Making Everyone Go Nuts?
Here’s what makes Eat Better Co different—and why investors are betting big.
1. Dry Fruit Laddoos That Don’t Lie
These are not your regular sugar bombs. With 95% dry fruits and nuts and no added sugar, they’re rich, filling, and packed with actual nutrition. Sweet tooth? Handled.
2. Millet-Based Namkeens That Crunch Like the Real Thing
They’ve reinvented namkeen using ancient grains and Indian spices, so you get the flavor hit—minus the fried guilt.
3. Seed and Nut Mixes That Make Protein Look Cool
Perfect for work snacking, post-gym, or even topping your breakfast. And no, they don’t taste like bird food.
The best part? All of it is made in-house—no outsourced factories, no hidden hands, just tight control over quality and taste.
Rs 17 Crore? Here’s Where That Money Is Going
This funding round isn’t about playing it safe. Eat Better Co is going bold—and here’s what they’re doing next:
- Expanding the snack range to include more guilt-free treats
- Dominating quick-commerce by being everywhere you shop online
- Investing in branding that makes healthy feel aspirational
- Streamlining supply chains to match growing demand
With platforms like Zepto and Blinkit booming, Eat Better Co is perfectly positioned to become the go-to name for clean, instant snacking.
Healthy Snacking Is the New Gold Rush—and This Brand Got In Early

What’s Coming Next (And It’s Big)
