Wenova Brands is building a house of consumer brands with a simple belief: every product should solve a meaningful problem and make everyday life better. Founded in 2024 and based in Chennai, our philosophy is “Products with Purpose.” We are starting with children’s food through Chewboo, our brand evolving from Kiddikind. With dietary fibre at the heart of its positioning, Chewboo aims to make thoughtful food choices easier for parents through products children enjoy. Founded by three fathers with experience across paediatric healthcare, sales, distribution, digital marketing, and brand building, Wenova brings together consumer understanding and commercial execution. The problems we are solving go beyond launching products: • Bringing taste, nutrition, convenience, and value together. • Earning parents’ trust through clear communication and consistent quality. • Turning customer feedback into better products and experiences. • Building sustainable growth through acquisition, retention, and sound economics. • Making sourcing, inventory, quality, and fulfilment dependable as demand grows. Our long-term ambition is to build an enduring Indian consumer company, with distinct brands supported by strong capabilities in product development, commerce, operations, and customer experience. Joining Wenova means helping shape a company while important decisions, systems, and opportunities are still taking form. You could develop a product, create a brand story, improve a customer journey, or build a process that supports our next stage of growth. We are looking for curious thinkers, thoughtful creators, and dependable operators who take ownership, collaborate well, and connect ideas with execution. We value clear thinking, high standards, commercial awareness, and the willingness to learn. If you want to solve real consumer problems and see the impact of your work, help us build Wenova’s next chapter.

LeBrands.Space has built India’s Brand Discovery Engine, designed to help shoppers discover D2C and homegrown brands beyond the names that dominate marketplaces, advertising and social media. India has thousands of innovative brands across fashion, beauty, food, wellness, home, technology and other categories. Yet discovery is fragmented. Shoppers often know what they want, but not which brands exist that match their style, needs or values. LeBrands.Space brings these brands into one searchable discovery ecosystem powered by a Digital Mall experience. Shoppers can search and explore brands, browse Digital Shops, discover offers, save brands, participate in gamified experiences and receive personalized brand recommendations based on their interests, preferences, browsing behaviour and current shopping intent. Unlike a marketplace, we do not aim to own the transaction or customer relationship. When shoppers find something they like, they can go directly to the brand's own online store.

For brands, it is becoming a Brand Recommendation Engine, helping relevant brands get discovered by shoppers whose interests and intent match what they offer. We have also built an evolving Brand DNA layer that combines shopper preferences and behaviour with enriched information from brand websites to create more meaningful discovery across the platform. Our product brings together brand search, personalized discovery, Digital Shops, verified brand profiles, offers, reviews, gamification, shopper engagement and recommendation technology in one experience. We are not building another marketplace. We are building a new discovery layer between shoppers and India's growing ecosystem of independent and homegrown brands. We are a small team working on a large consumer technology problem spanning AI, search, recommendations, product design, consumer behaviour, gamifi
