"We are humbled that our investors believe in our journey of retaining the legacy of chutneys in every Indian household. With the new funding, Spice Story will be well-positioned to bring the joy of chutney in every Indian home. We believe that Chutneys are little flavor packets that add that zing to all our meals. Through Spice Story, our goal is to nurture the emotional bonds that our consumers share with their food. With convenient access to our entire range of products, our consumers will be able to enjoy the authentic taste of various cultures and regions of India, all in an innovative and easy form," said Soumyadeep Mukherjee, founder and CEO, Spice Story.

Founded by Soumyadeep Mukherjee and Gayatri Gogate, Spice Story offers the widest range of ethnic Indian chutneys in modern sauce form - easy to pour, easy to store.
