  • Twirtles launches Superpuffs, India’s first protein chips fortified with vitamins and minerals

    Twirtles launches Superpuffs, India’s first protein chips fortified with vitamins and minerals

    New Delhi [India], February 09: Twirtles, a new-age healthy snacking brand, announced the launch of Superpuffs, positioning it as India’s first range of protein chips fortified with essential vitamins and minerals. The product was unveiled at an official launch event attended by industry stakeholders, retail partners and members of the food innovation ecosystem, marking the brand’s entry into the fast-evolving functional snacking space.

    A key moment at the event was the formal launch of Superpuffs by Padma Shri Dr. Arvind Lal, Executive Chairman of Dr Lal PathLabs. The gathering included participants from the startup ecosystem, as well as the health and nutrition sector and select industry representatives. It reflected Twirtles’ aim to present Superpuffs as a science-backed option within the mainstream snacking category.

    • New range combines high protein with essential micronutrients to tackle nutritional gaps in everyday snacking habits.
    • Clean-label formulation developed by a young Indian brand focused on modern, health-conscious consumers.
    • Product officially unveiled at a launch event attended by industry and retail stakeholders.

    The launch comes at a time when urban Indian consumers are rethinking everyday food choices, particularly snacks that often deliver on taste but fall short on nutrition. Superpuffs was developed to address this gap, combining high protein content with targeted micronutrient fortification across flavours.

    According to the company, each Superpuffs variant includes a selected mix of vitamins and minerals aimed at addressing common dietary gaps, while maintaining the taste and texture of regular chips. The brand also highlights its clean-label positioning, with an emphasis on straightforward ingredients and transparent product information.

    Superpuffs is the outcome of an extended in-house research and development effort by Twirtles, a young Indian brand that has built its portfolio around everyday snack formats such as chips and makhana. The company said the product went through multiple formulation cycles to balance protein levels, micronutrient stability and taste, a combination that has historically been difficult to achieve in the puffed snacks category.

    “Snacking habits in India have changed faster than the products on shelves,” said Arjun Veer Singh, Co-founder, Twirtles“We saw a clear gap between what people enjoy eating and what their bodies actually need. Superpuffs was created to bridge that gap. It delivers high protein, essential vitamins and minerals, and a flavour profile that does not feel like a compromise. For us, this is not an extension of an existing line, but the start of a new category.”

    His co-founder Pawanjot Singh said the focus was to build a product for long-term relevance rather than a short-term trend. “We are building Twirtles for modern Indian consumers who read labels, care about ingredients, and still want their snacks to taste familiar and satisfying. Superpuffs reflects how we think about product innovation, with nutrition, clean formulation and scale in mind from day one,” he said.

     

    Twirtles

    With Superpuffs, Twirtles is seeking to position itself in a segment that is increasingly crowded with low-calorie or baked alternatives but still thin on products that combine protein fortification and micronutrients in a mainstream snack format. Industry analysts note that protein chips remain a niche in India, often priced at a premium and limited in flavour variety, leaving room for brands that can balance accessibility with functional benefits.

    Twirtles plans to roll out Superpuffs across key urban markets in the coming months through modern trade and online channels, alongside its existing product portfolio. It will continue to invest in product development as it looks to expand into adjacent categories within healthy snacking.

    About Twirtles

    Twirtles is a new-age healthy snacking brand under Deccan Food Ventures LLP, focused on creating clean, innovative snacks that balance taste and nutrition. The brand was founded to rethink snacking by offering products that are tasty, nutritious, and suited to on-the-go lifestyles. It emphasizes thoughtful product development, clean ingredients, and formats that fit seamlessly into daily life.

  • Who Moved My Protein? Launches With a Call for Transparency and Ethics in the Protein Industry

    Who Moved My Protein? Launches With a Call for Transparency and Ethics in the Protein Industry

    New Delhi [India], February 09: As consumer awareness around food sourcing and sustainability continues to grow, a new nutrition brand, Who Moved My Protein?, has entered the market with a focus on transparency, ethics, and responsible protein production. The brand positions itself not just as a supplement company, but as part of a broader movement questioning how modern protein is sourced and produced.

    The launch comes at a time when the global protein supplements market is facing increased scrutiny over industrial dairy practices, animal welfare concerns, and the environmental impact of large-scale production. While protein powders have become a staple for athletes and health-conscious consumers, critics argue that the industry has largely prioritised volume and speed over sustainability and transparency.

    Who Moved My Protein? aims to address this gap by shifting attention to the earliest stages of the supply chain. Its core proposition centres on ethical dairy sourcing, responsible use of technology, and clear communication around how protein is made. The brand draws a sharp distinction between grass-fed dairy systems and intensive factory-fed models, highlighting how farming practices influence not only animal welfare but also long-term environmental stability.

    Rather than relying solely on performance claims, the brand uses storytelling to communicate its message. Through a modern fable-inspired narrative, Who Moved My Protein? seeks to make complex topics such as dairy processing, sustainability, and ethics more accessible to everyday consumers. The approach is designed to encourage people to ask questions about where their protein comes from and the cost at which it is produced.

    According to the company, its unique selling proposition lies in combining ethical sourcing principles with consumer education. By framing protein as part of the wider food system rather than a standalone supplement, the brand aims to bridge the gap between fitness nutrition and responsible food consumption.

    Commenting on the launch, the founder of Who Moved My Protein? said, “Protein has become a daily essential for millions of people, but very few are told the full story behind it. We started Who Moved My Protein? to bring transparency back into the conversation and to show that strength, health, and ethics don’t have to be at odds with each other.”

    The brand also emphasises that it does not position itself against technology or progress, but advocates for balance. Its philosophy supports the use of modern processing methods where they protect quality and safety, while rejecting practices that push animals and ecosystems beyond sustainable limits.

    As conversations around ethical food systems gain momentum globally, Who Moved My Protein? enters the market with a clear message: protein choices are no longer just about nutrition labels, but about values, responsibility, and long-term impact. With its launch, the brand hopes to contribute to a more informed dialogue around what sustainable nutrition should look like in the years ahead.

  • Grover Jewells Limited IPO opens February 4th 2026 aims to fund working capital and growth plans

    Grover Jewells Limited IPO opens February 4th 2026 aims to fund working capital and growth plans

    New Delhi [India], February 05:  Grover Jewells Limited, a Delhi-based gold jewellery manufacturer and wholesaler, is set to open its Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the NSE Emerge platform from February 4 to February 6, 2026, with a price band of ₹83–₹88 per share. The company plans to raise ₹33.83 crore through the issue, as it looks to strengthen its working capital cycle and support corporate expansion.

    According to the company’s investor presentation, Grover Jewells operates a fully integrated manufacturing setup in Delhi and caters largely to the wholesale (B2B) segment, while also taking steps to increase its retail (B2C) presence. The issue is expected to be closely watched by SME-market investors, particularly given the strong momentum in India’s organised jewellery sector and the growing shift toward branded, quality-assured products.

    IPO details: price band, issue size, and listing schedule

    Grover Jewells’ IPO is a 100% book-built issue, with the issue size at ₹3,383.42 lakh (approximately ₹33.83 crore), comprising 38,44,800 equity shares at the upper price of ₹88. The face value of each equity share is ₹10.

    The company has proposed listing on the NSE Emerge platform, with the listing date set for February 11, 2026. The IPO includes allocation for Qualified Institutional Buyers (QIB), Non-Institutional Investors (NII), retail investors, and a market maker portion, as is standard for SME public offerings.

    As per the issue schedule, the anchor bid opens on February 3, 2026, followed by the public subscription window from February 4 to February 6.

    Business model: wholesale manufacturing with expanding portfolio

    Grover Jewells Limited specialises in manufacturing and designing wholesale gold jewellery across a wide range of product categories. The company’s portfolio includes plain gold jewellery, studded jewellery, and semi-finished jewellery, primarily in 22 karat, 20 karat, and 18 karat formats.

    The company initially built its core strength in gold chain manufacturing, but over the years expanded into bangles, rings, necklaces, and complete jewellery sets, aiming to serve diverse customer preferences and price points.

    Grover Jewells runs an in-house jewellery manufacturing facility located at Lawrence Road Industrial Area, Delhi, with a built-up area of 1,003.20 sq. metres, equipped with modern machinery including casting machines, induction melters, steamers, and air compressors. A dedicated CAD design team supports product development, helping the company bring new designs to market regularly.

    Retail footprint: showrooms in key Delhi jewellery markets

    While the company’s primary focus remains B2B, it has a visible retail presence through two showrooms located in major jewellery trading hubs of the capital:

    • Karol Bagh, New Delhi

    • Chandni Chowk, Delhi

    These locations are known for high jewellery footfall and wholesale-retail activity, allowing the company to serve both business buyers and end customers.

    Growth journey: from small workshop to ₹450 crore turnover

    Grover Jewells traces its origin to 2010, when promoter Deepak Kumar Grover began operations as a proprietorship under the name “Grover Chain Company,” reportedly starting with two machines in a small workshop.

    The company’s investor note highlights that turnover grew steadily over the years, reaching ₹20 crore by 2017. A major leap came in 2018 with the adoption of Italian machinery and production technology, after which turnover reached ₹51 crore in FY2018–19.

    In 2021, Grover Chain Private Limited was incorporated and subsequently acquired the earlier proprietorship business, enabling scale-up in operations. By March 31, 2025, the company reported turnover of over ₹450 crore, reflecting a sharp rise in scale in a relatively short time frame.

    Financial performance: revenue growth and improving profitability

    The company’s restated financials indicate consistent growth in scale. Revenue from operations stood at:

    • ₹25,509.77 lakh in FY2022–23

    • ₹25,791.13 lakh in FY2023–24

    • ₹46,080.29 lakh in FY2024–25

    Profit after tax (PAT) for the same periods was:

    • ₹270.52 lakh in FY2022–23

    • ₹278.05 lakh in FY2023–24

    • ₹762.28 lakh in FY2024–25

    For the provisional period ended October 31, 2025, revenue from operations was reported at ₹47,318.71 lakh, with PAT of ₹1,045.23 lakh, suggesting continued momentum.

    The company’s PAT margin for FY2024–25 stood at 1.65%, while EBITDA margin was reported at 2.44%, reflecting the typically thin margins of high-volume bullion and jewellery manufacturing businesses, where scale, inventory management, and working capital efficiency are critical.

    Why working capital matters in jewellery businesses

    Jewellery manufacturing is highly working-capital intensive due to the nature of gold procurement, inventory holding, and credit cycles with distributors and retailers. For manufacturers, maintaining consistent production and supply often requires strong liquidity support.

    Grover Jewells has stated that the primary objective of the IPO is to meet working capital requirements, along with general corporate expenses and issue-related expenses. Investors will track how effectively the company uses fresh capital to manage inventory, strengthen receivable cycles, and expand distribution reach.

    Promoters and leadership team

    The company is promoted by:

    • Deepak Kumar Grover (Managing Director)

    • Lavkesh Kumar Grover (Executive Director)

    • Bhawna Grover (Non-Executive Director)

    The management team also includes independent directors and key managerial personnel such as the CEO, CFO, and Company Secretary & Compliance Officer, which is an important factor for governance in listed entities.

    Post-issue, promoter shareholding is expected to reduce from 100% to approximately 73.5%, with the public holding about 26.5%.

    Industry backdrop: India’s jewellery exports and domestic demand

    India’s gems and jewellery industry remains one of the country’s most significant sectors, contributing strongly to exports and employment. The sector benefits from India’s established manufacturing ecosystem, skilled workforce, and global relevance in diamond processing and gold jewellery craftsmanship.

    The company’s investor note mentions that the industry contributes significantly to GDP and exports, with the government also focusing on export promotion, MSME support, and initiatives such as hallmarking and policy support for trade competitiveness.

    In recent years, demand for hallmarking, transparency, and quality assurance has strengthened the shift toward organised players-creating opportunities for manufacturers with strong supply networks, in-house capabilities, and scalable operations.

    Outlook: a growth-focused SME listing on NSE Emerge

    Grover Jewells’ IPO comes at a time when India’s SME capital markets have seen rising investor participation, especially in manufacturing and consumer-facing businesses. With its established manufacturing base, expanding product portfolio, and presence in key Delhi jewellery markets, the company is positioning itself for the next phase of growth through stronger capital support.

    Market participants will closely watch subscription levels, listing performance, and post-IPO execution-particularly the company’s ability to strengthen its working capital position, scale operations efficiently, and gradually expand into the retail segment while maintaining profitability.

    The Barter Model Explained

    Unlike traditional advertising arrangements that require upfront cash payments, Bright Image facilitates exchanges where companies can leverage their own products or services to secure valuable media placements.

    “We’re essentially acting as a strategic bridge between businesses with surplus resources and media houses with available advertising inventory,” explains the company’s business model. “A hotel with unsold room nights, for instance, can trade those for television commercials, or a manufacturer can exchange surplus stock for billboard advertising.”

    The approach addresses two critical business challenges simultaneously: clearing excess inventory while maintaining brand visibility without depleting cash reserves.

    Growing Demand for Alternative Advertising Solutions

    Industry observers note that barter advertising is experiencing renewed interest as businesses seek more flexible approaches to marketing spend. The model is particularly attractive to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startups operating with limited liquidity.

    According to Bright Image’s operational framework, the process involves three key steps: evaluation of a client’s inventory or services to determine barter value, negotiation and booking of suitable advertising placements, and fulfillment of the barter agreement with complete billing reconciliation handled by the agency.

    Advantages Beyond Cost Savings

    Beyond the obvious financial benefits, barter advertising offers several strategic advantages for participating businesses:

    Cash flow preservation remains the primary draw, allowing companies to conserve marketing budgets by paying with products or services rather than cash.

    Access to premium placements that might otherwise be cost-prohibitive becomes possible through the barter model, giving smaller brands visibility across major media channels.

    Inventory management improves as businesses can efficiently move surplus stock or underutilized services that might otherwise represent sunk costs.

    Network expansion occurs naturally as companies build relationships with media houses and other businesses within the barter ecosystem.

    Entrepreneur Behind the Innovation

    Tausif Jinabade, founder and owner of Bright Image, has positioned his company at the forefront of India’s barter advertising sector. With a background in understanding market dynamics and consumer psychology, Jinabade recognized an opportunity to modernize the age-old concept of barter for today’s digital marketing landscape.

    “Impactful marketing doesn’t always require substantial cash outlays,” Jinabade notes in company materials. “What it requires is the right strategy, a strong network, and a willingness to think differently about resource allocation.”

    Under his leadership, Bright Image has built an extensive network of media connections, personally overseeing strategic barter deals to ensure clients receive maximum value from their exchanges. The company facilitates not only traditional advertising placements but also influencer collaborations and brand activation events.

    Industry Impact and Future Outlook

    Jinabade actively shares insights on marketing trends and barter strategies, contributing to a growing conversation about alternative business models in the advertising sector. His advocacy for budget-friendly marketing alternatives has resonated particularly with emerging brands and entrepreneurs seeking to compete with larger, better-funded competitors.

    As economic pressures continue to challenge marketing departments across industries, barter-based advertising models like those offered by Bright Image may represent a growing segment of India’s advertising landscape.

    The company currently serves clients across multiple industries, though specific client names and campaign details were not disclosed.

    For businesses interested in exploring barter advertising opportunities, Bright Image offers consultations to assess whether their inventory or services are suitable for media exchanges and what level of advertising exposure might be achievable through barter arrangements.
