Indic Wisdom, a Mumbai-based manufacturer of high-quality wood-pressed oils on Tuesday raised funds in a Pre-series A round primarily led by Rockstud Capital along with other investors.
A significant rise in consumer awareness about their health and a shift in preference towards natural, nutrient-dense food products is driving the demand for cold-pressed oils.
These oils, renowned for their high nutritional content, including essential vitamins, antioxidants, and fatty acids, offer a superior alternative to refined oils, which often undergo processing that can strip them of valuable nutrients.
Indic Wisdom Pvt. Limited traces its inspiration to India’s egalitarian culinary traditions.
Growing up with the belief that food should be natural and shared, Prajakta Khare & Kaustubh Khare founded Indic Wisdom to contemporise that civilisational wisdom and invested in manufacturing to produce goodness at scale.
It is strategically positioned to capitalize on the burgeoning market for premium cold-pressed oils.
Their comprehensive product range, encompassing cooking oils, multipurpose oils, and specialty oils, caters to the diverse needs and preferences of health-conscious consumers. The founders bring over two decades of combined experience in digital transformation, artificial Intelligence, and onshore/offshore sales.
Their expertise, honed through previous roles, is now dedicated to a singular mission: to modernize India's ancient culinary traditions through continuous innovation and knowledge expansion.
By doing so, they aim to create products that promote global well-being.
Prajakta Khare, co-founder of Indic Wisdom, says, “With Indic Wisdom, we want to take India's timeless tradition of prasad – food that is pure, sustainable, and meant for everyone - to the world.
We are doing this by incorporating modern production best practices and quality standards in traditional food production practices.”
