What SoFood does

SoFood Private Limited is an India-based B2B contract manufacturer founded in 2014 and headquartered in Mumbai. The company produces sprouted and dehydrated superfood ingredients on a private label basis for direct-to-consumer health food brands. Its customer base includes Gladful, Country Delight, FoodStrong, The Naturik Co, and Brotos — all D2C health food startups serving health-conscious Indian consumers.

SoFood's core technology combines sprouting with controlled dehydration. The sprouting process activates enzymes and increases Vitamin C content, improving protein digestibility versus raw pulses. The dehydration process stabilizes moisture content below 5%, enabling a 12-month shelf life without preservatives. The product portfolio spans sprouted flours and grains, ready-to-cook mixes (including sprouted millet pancake, dosa, and fortified chilla variants), dehydrated vegetables and powders, dehydrated sprouts, and nutraceutical ingredients, with retail-ready nitrogen flush packaging offered.

The company operates an FSSAI-certified manufacturing facility in Mumbai (License No: 11514003000239) and is GST registered with an IEC Code (0315906782) for export operations. Revenue is generated through negotiated, quote-based private label and contract manufacturing engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting D2C brands seeking custom formulation, scalable production from pilot to commercial volumes, and clean label positioning.
