Aaj ke busy lifestyle mein healthy breakfast banana time-consuming ho sakta hai. The Naturik Co. ne isi problem ko target karke traditional Indian breakfast ko healthy, tasty aur convenient format mein present kiya.
Founders Sahil Vohra aur Isha Chadha Vohra ne Cheela, Masala Khichdi aur Sprouts jaise desi foods ko ready-to-cook mixes mein convert kiya, jo sirf 3 minutes mein prepare ho sakte hain. Brand ke focus mein no sugar, no maida, no palm oil aur no preservatives hain.
Indian breakfast food market around ₹30,000 Cr ka bataya gaya, aur brand ne 2 lakh packets sell kiye the. Pitch mein products taste karne ke baad Sprouts sabhi Sharks ko kaafi pasand aaye. Aman Gupta ko Cheela banane ka mauka bhi diya gaya. Pehle attempt ke fail hone ke baad unhone second attempt mein successfully Cheela bana liya, jisne pitch ka excitement aur badha diya.
Chaliye dekhte hain The Naturik Co. ke Sales, Unit Economics aur Sharks ke saath Deal ka complete breakdown.
Sales Highlights: The Naturik Co. Shark Tank India
- Total Sales: ₹3.53 Cr
- FY 2023–24: ₹87 Lakh
- FY 2024–25 (Oct tak): ₹2.66 Cr | FY 2024–25 Projected: ₹5.82 Cr
- Total Amount Raised: ₹1.25 Cr
- Sales Mix: Offline 51% | Online 49%
- Quick Commerce: Brand is segment mein entry/expansion try kar raha tha.
Founder ke according, brand ne online ke saath offline par bhi fast focus kiya, kyunki market ka major share offline hai. Online visibility se offline stores mein bhi sales boost ho rahi hai—founder ise “rub-off effect” kehte hain.
Unit Economics: The Naturik Co. Shark Tank India
- EBITDA FY 2023–24: -12%
- EBITDA FY 2024–25: -5.65%
- Gross Margin: 69%
- Offline Repeat Rate: 52%
Early-stage expansion mein EBITDA negative hona possible hai, especially jab brand marketing aur distribution par invest kar raha ho. The Naturik Co. mein important point ye hai ki EBITDA loss -12% se improve hokar -5.65% hua, yani profitability ki direction positive thi.
69% gross margin healthy unit economics ka signal deta hai, while 52% offline repeat rate product acceptance aur customer retention ko show karta hai.
Founder ka target March 2025 tak EBITDA positive hone ka tha.

The Naturik Co. ki pitch dekhkar mujhe Kiwi Kisan Window ki yaad aa gayi. Dono pitches mein offline presence aur marketing par paisa soch-samajhkar spend karne ki approach similar dikhti hai—online growth ke peeche blindly burn karne ke bajay practical expansion par focus.

My Learnings: The Naturik Co. Shark Tank Pitch
Founder ne FMCG industry mein 17 saal ka experience gain karne ke baad business start kiya. Lesson simple hai—pehle industry ko deeply samjho, customer aur market ki knowledge build karo, phir proper understanding ke saath execution karo.
Agar business abhi loss mein hai, lekin future plan, growth strategy aur profitability ka roadmap strong hai, toh investors interest dikha sakte hain. Maine aisi pitches bhi dekhi hain jahan EBITDA positive hone ke baad bhi investment nahi mili.
Sirf sales ya profit dikhana enough nahi. Business clarity, numbers, customer validation aur future vision ko confidently present karna equally important hai.
