Nuflower Food and Nutrition

What Nuflower Food and Nutrition does

Nuflower Foods & Nutrition Pvt. Ltd. is a New Delhi-headquartered, India-manufacturing B2B producer of lipid-based therapeutic and supplementary nutrition products, operating a 60 MT/day facility in Manesar, Gurugram that is certified under FSSC-22000, BRCGS, US-FDA, IFS, HALAL, and KOSHER. Founded in 2015 by Akshat Khandelwal, the company formulates and manufactures Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) for severe acute malnutrition, Ready-to-Use Supplementary Foods (RUSF) for moderate acute malnutrition, medium- and small-quantity Lipid-Based Nutrient Supplements (LNS-MQ, LNS-SQ) for prevention of undernutrition, and an LNS-PBWG variant targeted at pregnant and breastfeeding women. These products are sold under the NutriFEEDO brand family using proprietary high-oleic peanut paste formulations, custom lipid blends, and automated sterile processing designed to deliver 24-month shelf-stable, UNICEF-compliant therapeutic nutrition.

The company runs two distinct but plant-shared revenue streams. The primary stream is enterprise B2B supply of RUTF, RUSF, and LNS to United Nations agencies (UNICEF, WFP, WHO), international humanitarian organizations, government health programs (national SAM/MAM and CMAM initiatives), and NGOs operating in crisis zones — currently reaching 30+ countries (one source cites 42+) across South Asia, East/West/Southern/North Africa, Western Europe, North America, and Oceania. The secondary stream is OEM/private-label manufacturing of premium peanut butters and nut-based spreads (crunchy, creamy, chocolate, all-natural peanut butter, plus almond, cashew, and chocolate hazelnut spreads) for supermarket chains, retailers, and global brands under white-label arrangements with customization across texture, flavor, and blend.

Nuflower monetizes exclusively through quote-based B2B contracts in both verticals, with no public price disclosure. It is founder-controlled, privately held, and shows no disclosed external institutional funding. Since commencing supply in 2017, the company has cumulatively delivered over 32,000 MT of product worldwide and reports reaching nearly 2 million children through its NutriFEEDO line. Customer acquisition relies on direct enterprise sales (sales-LNS@ and sales-Nutbutter@), supplemented by content-led authority-building through a company blog, founder podcast, and YouTube keynote channel.
