In 2014, Prasanna Natarajan began to think of finding a solution to provide fresh chutney ready to serve at breakfast for his kids. “An important side condiment in Indian cuisine, chutney is devoured in all parts of the country, and takes some effort to prepare,” says Natarajan, CEO and co-founder of Chutneyfy that took shape in 2021.

Along with co-founder and COO Shreyas Raghav, and CMO Prem K Viswanath, Natarajan set up a lab in Chennai, and invited onboard chefs and food scientists to research and identify gaps in the market. “To make chutney, you need a list of ingredients which you need to roast, sauté, grind and wash. It is extremely time consuming. We prepared a formula of ready-to-eat chutney that would only need water and a good mix from the consumer’s end.
