Epigamia is strengthening its leadership as it scales across India’s rapidly expanding healthy and protein snacking market. The move follows a record FY26, where the brand delivered 50%+ growth alongside strong profitability, reinforcing its momentum in the premium nutrition category.

Industry veteran Ritesh Gauba joins with more than two decades of experience across pladis Global, Mars, and Britannia Industries Limited. He takes over after Ankur Goel, who guided the company through its strongest growth phase to date.

Backed by Verlinvest, Epigamia now reaches 25,000+ retail touchpoints across 30+ towns, while expanding aggressively across modern trade, e-commerce, and quick commerce channels.
