Dino Morea, Actor and Co-founder, The Fresh Press, said, "With the support of GCCF and Gusto Accelerators, we envision expanding our footprint nationwide, revolutionising the way people perceive and consume nutritious beverages. We anticipate that the current funding will definitely help in building a little bigger team since expansion is a major part of this fundraise."

It is currently accessible in Bhopal, Delhi, Pune, and Mumbai. To improve its market visibility and reach a wider audience, the brand has teamed strategically with PVR, INOX, and Reliance.

Nikhil Kamath, Co-founder Gruhas, said, "Our commitment to The Fresh Press reflects our support for the growing health consciousness among Indian consumers. As people become more mindful about what they eat, I want to support innovative homegrown entrepreneurs who are leading the charge in the health and consumer sectors. It's time we take control of our own well-being and pay attention to our nutrition intake."
