Funding focuses on scaling up awareness of Good Monk Family’s Secret Nutrition Mix

Superfoods Valley, a nutrition and food-tech startup headquartered in Bengaluru, has secured a $1 million investment as part of its seed round to scale up its flagship brand – Good Monk – A Nutrition Mix. The funding was obtained through an institutional round led by Multiply Ventures, an early stage focused Consumer VC fund.

With this funding, Superfoods Valley is poised to create greater awareness & unique solutions that will help solve for hidden hunger.

The list of angel investors includes CEOs like Anand Kripalu (Ex- Mondelez, Diageo, EPL) and Bharat Puri (Ex- Mondelez, Pidilite), Naveen Kukreja (Co-founder Paisa Bazaar), Manoj Sinha (Co-founder Husk Power Systems), Chella Pandyan (Ex- Mondelez, Ex CMO Kimberly Clark, COO HealthKart), Navin Talreja,  Kawal Shoor (Founders – The Womb Communications) & some other passionate creative minds and filmmakers.

Several scientific experts in the fields of health and nutrition have endorsed and extended their trust to Superfoods Valley, including well-known figures like Dr PR Krishnaswamy, the former director and founder of the Protein Foods and Nutrition Development Association of India; Dr B Sesikeran, the former director of the National Institute of Nutrition; Mallika Janakiraman, the founder of nutriQ360 Degrees; Sheela Krishnaswamy, a nutrition and wellness consultant & a former IDA president; and Dr Shovan Ganguli, an R&D Expert with over 30 years of experience.
