“We as Indians have an inclination towards Indian food rather than foreign dishes. But so far, no brand has been able to address the expectations of Indian consumers in terms of taste, health, and ease of consumption. Owing to the unavailability of tasty and healthy Indian instant meals, Indian consumers are forced to eat non-Indian instant foods.  As per Swiggy’s 2020 report, most ordered dishes were mostly Indian foods such as biryani, masala dosa, and dal makhani, and not pizza, pasta, or noodles. Aligned with the expectation of Indian consumers, our products are truly indian , tasty, filling, nutritious, and most importantly easy to consume.  So, we see great market fit and massive opportunities for our ready to eat food products” said Raju Vanapala, Founder and CEO.

“The 2 ready-to-eat non-vegetarian meals in our portfolio is a result of India’s preference of food. More than 71% of Indians prefer Non-Vegetarian food. This demand was left unaddressed by the present instant food brands, who were still experimenting with the breakfast range. The Taste Company is steps ahead in its product research and innovation to come up with a non-vegetarian and vegetarian meal range complete with breakfast products beyond Upma and Poha” added Mr. Raju Vanapala.
 
“There has been a considerable change not only in food preference but also consumption style in the past few years owing to rapid urbanization, increase in working female population, and increase in nuclear families. According to a survey by Assocham, about 79% of Indian households with two working partners today prefer ready to eat food products owing to time constraints. According to Nielsen, the easy-to-make breakfast market in India is currently pegged at 275 crores and growing at a rate of 17%. However, the ready-to-eat meals market is still valued at less than 100 crores owing to the negative perception among the Indian customers”.
