All locationsZoff Foods co-founder building a modern spice brand from Raipur against the legacy players
Aakash Gupta is a co-founder of Zoff Foods, a Raipur-based spices and packaged-foods brand launched in 2018. He runs the business with his brother Akash Gupta; both come from a multi-generation small-business family in Chhattisgarh. Zoff was featured on Shark Tank India and has since built distribution across Indian modern trade, general trade and online retail, with a growing export business.
The brand is positioned against both unbranded loose spices and the older national names, with a proposition built on whole spices, grinding at origin and packaging designed for the Indian kitchen. His story is the story of a Tier-2 entrepreneur taking on a category dominated by companies many decades older.
He speaks in English and Hindi, plainly and with numbers, on building an Indian F&B brand, operating from a Tier-2 city, the realities of combining D2C with physical distribution and how a new brand competes with legacy spice players. He suits startup summits, FMCG and distribution conferences, dealer meets and regional business forums in Central India. Organisers get a founder who is still in the middle of the climb, and audiences leave with a clear sense of what scaling distribution in India really involves.
