MUMBAI: Health-conscious shoppers can now get their protein fix faster than ever. Revant Himatsingka, popularly known as “Food Pharmer”, has launched his protein brand Only What’s Needed (OWN) on Instamart, marking the brand’s first appearance on a quick commerce platform.
The move coincides with Instamart’s launch of a dedicated “Protein” section on its app, making it easier for consumers to discover high-protein foods without wading through confusing nutrition labels. The section features trusted brands, including OWN, with affordable packs for everyday users and larger value formats for regular gym-goers.
Revant shared on Instagram that the collaboration began rather organically. “It all started with a comment from Instamart saying, ‘Humare app pe aa jao’, and a few DMs later, we made it happen,” he said. “Our mission is to make protein a daily habit for India, not just sell whey. With 70 per cent of the country still protein-deficient, this is a step towards changing how India consumes protein.”
Only What’s Needed Whey Protein is built on Revant’s promise of clean, transparent, and tested nutrition. Made with just four ingredients, each batch undergoes seven safety and quality checks. The brand, which quickly gained a cult following since its launch earlier this year, is now set to reach homes across major Indian cities in minutes.
Swiggy co-founder and CGO Phani Kishan Addepalli, highlighted the shared values behind the partnership. “Anyone who follows Revant knows how fiercely he protects consumer trust. Convenience got us here. Trust will take us further,” he wrote on LinkedIn.
With Instamart’s new protein aisle and Food Pharmer’s signature honesty, India’s journey toward smarter, faster nutrition just got a powerful new boost, quite literally, in 10 minutes flat.
