Baby Food Mfg Startup Raising Seed Funds In Chennai
About Business
This is an early-stage functional food startup focused on sensory-friendly nutrition solutions for neurodivergent children, particularly those with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and ADHD.
Problem Being Addressed
Many neurodivergent children experience sensory-based food aversion, leading to dependence on ultra-processed, carbohydrate-heavy foods due to predictable textures and flavors. These diets often contribute to:
Blood sugar spikes
Increased hyperactivity
Emotional dysregulation
Poor sleep quality
Parents face a lack of whole-food, clean-label alternatives tailored to these sensory needs.
Product Offering
The company is developing proprietary, sensory-safe functional food products, starting with a neuro-developmental porridge designed to:
Maintain consistent texture and taste
Support cognitive and emotional regulation
Avoid artificial colors, refined sugars, and preservatives
Formulations are designed using organic grains and evidence-based nutritional ingredients suitable for children with sensory sensitivities.
Unique Value Proposition (USP)
Sensory-friendly textures designed specifically for neurodivergent kids
Clean-label, whole-food approach (not pills or gummies)
Positioned at the intersection of Food Tech + Medical Nutrition
Strong D2C scalability with clinical partnership potential
Clientele type
