Gourmet retail startup Foodstories has raised ₹50 crore in a funding round led by Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath, marking a significant boost for the company’s expansion plans in India’s premium food and lifestyle segment.
The round also saw continued participation from the Narotam Sekhsaria Family Office, an early investor in the company. Founded by Ashni and Avni Biyani, Foodstories aims to use the fresh capital to scale its digital operations, expand its delivery network, and strengthen its physical retail presence across key markets.
The platform connects farmers, producers, chefs, bakers, and artisanal food makers, offering consumers a curated ecosystem to discover and access high-quality food products through a single integrated platform.
Investors highlighted the growing opportunity in India’s premium and experiential food retail space. Nikhil Kamath said better food choices represent a high-impact lifestyle change and noted that Foodstories is building essential infrastructure to support this evolving consumer demand. He added that the founders demonstrate a strong understanding of both product vision and business execution.
With fresh funding, the startup is expected to accelerate its omnichannel strategy and deepen its presence in the organised gourmet food segment, which continues to attract rising consumer interest in urban markets.
