Rohan Mirchandani, the visionary co-founder of Greek yoghurt brand Epigamia, passed away on December 21, 2024, at the age of 42 due to a cardiac arrest. His untimely demise has left a profound void in the startup and consumer goods community.

Epigamia's daily operations will now be managed by senior leaders Ankur Goel (COO and Founding Member) and Uday Thakker (Co-founder and Director), with full support from the Board of Directors. The board includes Rohan's family, Raj Mirchandani, and key investors Verlinvest and DSG Consumer Partners.
