Xoju is an ultra-premium Korean spirit (40% ABV) made from the finest hand-picked apples, double distilled in charente-copper, and aged in porcelain. It’s the first of its kind. An embodiment of Korean culture, then and now. Soju has been the #1 selling spirit in the world over the past two decades. Yet they have been predominantly distributed in Koreatowns (i.e. kbbq restaurants) and consumed in the affordable 13-24% ABV form of soju. Xoju is here to redefine what a Korean spirit is by bringing a top shelf, 40% ABV product to a western world, where there is zero representation of eastern spirits in liquor. Our mission is to bring Eastern representation in liquor to the West, celebrate the legacy of our heritage, and bridge the gap in both cultures. We're led by former founders, creatives and media personalities and backed by a stellar group of angels, strategics and operators. To learn more, visit xoju.com

Indian food, infused with spices and delicate flavours made from the right ingredients, delights not just the taste buds, but that something more. We always wondered why all the major food chains come from outside India! Why not an Indian origin brand which celebrates Indian food the way it should be? So, bubbling with enthusiasm to create something of our own, we set upon the journey to fill the void that we felt existed - making ‘better’ Indian food available. With a team of 1500+, managing 80+ outlets across Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune and Gurgaon. we deliver meals in 38 minutes and serve till late night, 1 AM. Our menu includes 100+ dishes with categories including All-in-1 meals, Fusion Box, Biryanis, Paratha wraps, Sandwiches, Desserts, Ice Creams and more. We control all aspects of supply chain, from procurement to product development, till last mile delivery. Thus, ensuring excellence at each level and offering a delightful customer experience.

As coffee lovers, we have visited several cafés around the world serving delicious coffee but have always been disappointed with the quality of coffee served at homes. We knew there had to be a way to make super smooth coffee without expensive, cumbersome machines and that’s how Country Bean was born. Our endeavour is to make great tasting coffee with ease. Now you can have a caramel macchiato, hazelnut latte or peppermint frappé just the way you like it. Our handcrafted flavoured instant coffees have no added sugar or artificial flavours. It’s as good as it gets. We source our instant coffee from some of the best coffee estates in the world and infuse them with flavourful love to make your beloved coffee moment, even more special. Currently retailing on countrybean.in, Amazon and Flipkart.

Process First uses technology to create persistent health - sustainable outcomes based in food, health and climate. Our current focus is the food system's intersection with health care and sustainability. The the problems we face cannot be fixed by addressing symptoms. Food is critical to health and has significant ecological impact. We must rebuild our food system to account for both its immense value as well as the costs incurred in its production, delivery and consumption. To get there we have developed a data model that supports data integration across the food system. A fully integrated food system can support innovation and the tracking of metrics required to improve community and ecological health, create climate resilience and lower the barriers to entry for local food. Our approach to these problems looks like a hybrid of a consulting firm and a startup. In order to work on the most pressing problems, we focus on partnerships with foundations and non-profits to create access to people, knowledge, skills and resources needed to tackle oversized problems. The technical requirements, size of the system and the ROI timelines makes this work outside of the normal fit for non-profits and the startup community. As we reach those initial goals, we have a team ready to accelerate through the hardest phase of a startup, launching products or spinning out a company as best fits the the need.
