Akiva Superfoods, a Gurugram-based, health and wellness food products startup, has raised around $2 million (₹13.7 crore) in Series A funding, led by Alkemi Venture Partners.
“Globally, people are making significant changes to their lifestyle and food habits to live better. Akiva’s mission is in line with ours, of elevating the health and well-being of people. This round of funding will propel the organisation to drive real value,” said an Alkemi spokesperson.
Akiva Superfoods, based out of Gurugram, was founded by Shalabh Gupta in 2016. The company provides a range of wellness food products. It is an FMCG startup established to bridge the widening gap between our needs (healthier eating) and lifestyles (fast-paced and time-constrained).
The startup’s solution is a growing range of superfood-based products that are tasty, healthy, convenient and affordable for daily consumption.
“The ultimate aim is to be an innovative and exciting, independently run FMCG company, with a capacity to scale exponentially across tier-1 and tier-2 cities in the next five years,” said Gupta.
While, some of the health and wellness food products startup includes MyFitnessPal, Food52, MindBodyGreen, Foodily, Fitocracy, among others.
