₹56 lakh in just 9 months! What makes this Bengaluru couple’s healthy food business tick?
Two Bengaluru IT professionals quit their jobs and invested ₹15 lakh to launch Wellfed, a healthy meal subscription startup. The venture has since earned ₹56 lakh in revenue between January and September 2026, serving over 1,500 customers and delivering more than 55,000 meals.
Diya Krishnakumar and Adithya Natarajan, both IT professionals in their 20s, launched a healthy meal subscription business named Wellfed in Bengaluru in September 2024. The couple identified a gap in the market for convenient, nutritious, and familiar meals that didn't require extensive cooking time. They invested their personal savings of ₹15 lakh to start the venture, which has since generated ₹56 lakh in revenue between January and September 2026.
Wellfed currently serves over 1,500 customers and has delivered more than 55,000 meals. The menu focuses on everyday Indian dishes such as dal, vegetables, roti, and protein-rich options like paneer and tofu. The couple tested the concept with friends and family before launching, and a social media post by a local nutritionist helped attract their first 100 customers.
