Foodstories has raised ₹50 crore from Nikhil Kamath, marking a significant vote of confidence in the company’s vision of building India’s most curated food platform. The Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office, an early backer, continues its support alongside this round.
Founded by Ashni Biyani and Avni Biyani, Foodstories was built on a belief that how you eat shapes how you live. The platform brings together exceptional farmers, producers, chefs, bakers and food makers, giving consumers a single, trusted place to discover and access food they can feel something about.
“Better food is one of the highest-leverage changes a person can make to how they live,” said Nikhil Kamath. “Foodstories is one of the few platforms building the real infrastructure for that. The founders understand both the product and the business they’re building.”
The company already has a significant retail presence across Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. This month, it brings that experience to Mumbai, with a flagship store in Bandra open now and a second location in Lokhandwala opening shortly. The raise will accelerate Foodstories’ digital business and delivery network alongside its growing retail footprint.
“We’re building a ₹1,000 crore business,” said Ashni Biyani.“Curation, experiential retail and a strong digital layer. That combination is what gives us conviction in the scale of what’s possible here.”
For Avni Biyani, that scale is only meaningful if the standards hold. “We obsess over quality, craftsmanship and provenance. Growth doesn’t change that.”
