Arboreal Bioinnovations Raises ₹230 Cr Series A for Nutrition Ingredients
Arboreal Bioinnovations is a company that makes special food ingredients for other companies.
It just got a big investment of 230 crore rupees from investors like EAAA Alternatives, Omnivore, and Rainmatter.
The money will help the company build more factories, do more science research, and make new ingredients faster.
Arboreal already supplies ingredients to more than 1,100 brands and has helped launch over 300 new products in the last year and a half.
The investment comes at a time when many food and drink companies want clean, healthy, and science‑backed ingredients, so the market for these products is growing.
The founders say the new money will let them create even better ingredients for big food and health brands around the world.
Arboreal Bioinnovations raised ₹230 Cr in a Series A round co‑led by EAAA Alternatives and Omnivore, with Rainmatter participating.
The startup will use the capital to expand manufacturing capacity, strengthen R&D, and accelerate commercialization of next‑generation functional ingredients.
Founded in 2018 by Swati Pandey and Manish Chauhan, Arboreal serves more than 1,100 consumer brands and nutraceutical manufacturers.
Its portfolio includes proteins, cocoa‑based ingredients, zero‑calorie sweeteners, and functional fibres, and has powered over 300 product launches in 18 months.
The funding comes amid rising demand for clean‑label, protein‑enriched, sugar‑reduced, and gut‑health ingredients in India’s growing specialty food market.
