Farmley, a leading healthy snacking brand, is all set to provide a gateway to budding entrepreneurs by partnering with Shark Tank India. As part of this special arrangement, business owners attending the upcoming Indian Healthy Snacking Summit at Bharat Mandapam can grab the golden opportunity to be part of the show by recording their business pitches at the dedicated Shark Tank booth to be set up there.
Since its debut in 2021, Shark Tank India has been instrumental in spotlighting innovative business ideas and connecting them with strategic investments and expert mentorship. As the show gears up for its 5th anniversary this year, the sharks are on the lookout for innovative business ideas at the Indian Healthy Snacking Summit 2025. Pitches recorded at the Shark Tank booth will serve as audition tapes and be forwarded to the show's production team in Mumbai for evaluation.
Selected entrepreneurs will earn the coveted opportunity to present their pitches on the main Shark Tank India show, potentially securing investments from the panel of seasoned business sharks.
Akash Sharma, co-founder of Farmley, said, “Every successful entrepreneur's journey begins with a single opportunity to be heard. This on-ground audition format is revolutionising how we discover and nurture talent, giving founders the chance to showcase their vision in a more personal, accessible setting. It's not just about pitching – it's about empowering the next generation of business leaders."
The Indian Healthy Snacking Summit, in its 2nd edition, expects over 1,500 attendees and 50+ speakers, including Revant Himatsingka aka FoodPharmer, Amitesh Jha, CEO, Swiggy Instamart, Arjun Vaidya, founder, Dr Vaidya’s and V3 Ventures, investors, senior leaders from the retail, FMCG, and quick commerce sectors, as well as representatives from Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto, Meesho. These speakers will participate in various panel discussions, offering insights into investment trends, the future of food distribution, and emerging health-conscious consumption patterns.
It is a Noida-based healthy snacking brand founded in 2017, aiming to become the go-to- choice for guilt-free, anytime-anywhere snacks. Endorsed by Rahul Dravid, the brand has gained strong visibility in India’s wellness food space. The company follows a farm-to-palm model, directly sourcing makhanas, nuts, seeds, and dry fruits from over 5,000 farmers. Its in-house production and R&D capabilities drive innovation across product formats. In May 2025, the brand raised $42 million in a Series C round led by L Catterton, with participation from DSG Consumer Partners, to strengthen regional expansion, food-tech capabilities, and its omnichannel distribution network.
