Speaking on the announcement Amarpreet S Anand, the founder of Superfoods Valley, said, “We are really glad to have our investors back us on this journey, because the positive change which Good Monk can create in the health of Indians could be very significant. It’s probably the easiest way of fortifying your daily food. Not surprising then that the business has really accelerated & has grown by 3X in the last 3 months”.
Sahiba, Co-founder & mom-preneur, “For me the greatest satisfaction as a parent founder is to talk to our customers & observe how the product is improving their family’s health. There is no greater joy than that!”
Sanjay Ramakrishnan (Founder & General Partner- Multiply Ventures) expressed, “As investors, our decision to invest in the brand for the second time reflects our unwavering trust in the company’s vision, leadership, and potential for growth. We are confident that our continued investment will not only drive the brand’s success but also contribute to meaningful and impactful outcomes in the nutrition space.”
Chaitanya Rathi (Partner, Sharrp Ventures) said, “Good Monk’s unique approach in tackling the challenge of micro-nutrient deficiency reflects our shared commitment to invest in brands which are creating impactful solutions for nutritional well-being.”
Minal Shah (Vice President, Thinkuvate) “As a parent myself, I understand the lack of nutrition that is there in our children’s diet today and with this simple, easy to use nutrition sachet, it is easy to smuggle some nutrition into our children and even our diet. With Good Monk’s patented product and formulae and their clinical trial results, we feel this product has a potential to become a table ingredient like salt and pepper in future.”
