Focusing on the ever-growing demand in the food industry, our client acts as a neighbourhood artisan bakery at a national scale. The main concept here is to provide freshly baked, high-on-quality, authentic European bakery products and breads. Their products include sourdough loaves, artisan breads, croissants & rolls, freshly baked cookies, cakes, premixes etc.

Headquartered in Mumbai, our client was co-founded in 2013 by a husband and wife duo, one of whom is an IIM-Ahmedabad graduate and the other is an internationally trained baker.

Starting with 4 bakers in 2013 and growing over time, today, our client prepares more than 10,000 loaves of bread a day and their creations are shared with all of India.
