Earthful Secures Rs 26 Crore in Pre-Series A Funding
Earthful, the clean-label, plant-based nutrition startup featured on Shark Tank India, has raised Rs 26 crore in a pre-Series A funding round. The round was led by Fireside Ventures and V3 Ventures, with participation from Atrium Angels.
The startup, which previously raised capital from prominent angel investors and family offices, plans to use the funds to expand its reach deeper into Bharat, focusing on India’s growing health-conscious population.
Founded by Sisters, Backed by Innovation
Earthful was founded in 2020 by IIT alumni sisters Veda Gogineni and Sudha Gogineni. Their mission: make nutrition simple, natural, and accessible, particularly for women navigating menopause.
The startup claims to be India’s first company to offer multivitamins customized for menopausal women, combining essential vitamins, minerals, and herbs to support holistic health.

Expansion Plans: Growing Deeper Into Bharat
With the new funding, Earthful plans to scale its operations beyond metropolitan areas and reach tier-2 and tier-3 cities, where awareness of plant-based nutrition is growing but options remain limited.
Founder Veda Gogineni said, “We want to grow deeper into Bharat, making our plant-based, clean-label solutions available to more women across India.”
Shark Tank India Spotlight Boost
Being featured on Shark Tank India has helped Earthful gain visibility and credibility, attracting both investors and customers. The platform has amplified the startup’s mission to provide personalized nutrition solutions and expand its footprint nationwide.
