Food Startups - Recipe for Success
Startup Saturday June focused on different challenges and the process followed by food startups to establish themselves. We had Gurmeet Kochhar (Founder - Spice Box, Co-founder - Oye Kiddan and The Bohri Kitchen), Rohan Mangalorkar (Owner - Pack-a-Pav) and Harshal Shroff (Founder - This Corn), who shared their insights and answered audience queries.
Continuing the theme from June, Startup Saturday July will focus on menu development, the key aspects to consider with menu costing and pricing as well as establishing processes. We will also be discussing how a food startup creates it’s brand identity and markets itself. So we look forward to welcoming you on 9th July and having a great event.

Networking
Bhakti is the founder of Little Food Co and Little Food Daily.
In 2010, ex-media professional Bhakti Mehta traded in her marketing manuals for a chef’s apron when she started The Little Food Co., and she’s never looked back!
A self-taught chef, Bhakti grew with her company, traveling the world and drawing inspiration from modern European, American and Asian cuisine, and constantly adding new recipes and ideas to the mix.
Food styling, working with restaurants on menu development, recipe testing, kitchen planning, training – If it’s about food, chances are Bhakti’s had a hand in it.
If you want a caterer that gets you and understands your vision, then Bhakti is the chef for you. If it’s important to you, it’s important to her and she’ll pull out all the stops to make sure your event is everything you dreamed it would be.

Demo/Elevator Pitch
In today’s fast-paced lifestyle, with long workdays and busy schedules, it’s often hard to find the time to cook a completely fresh and delicious meal.
We, at Saucery, believe that the best food isn’t so much dining out, as it is natural, authentic ingredients, cooked to perfection.
Our process is simple. We ensure every product is made with fresh and natural ingredients; combine them in the perfect ratios; use a secret formula to ensure they are long-lasting without adding any preservatives or chemicals; and bottle them for you to enjoy.
