Zoff adds spice to digital with chef Natasha Gandhi as first ambassador

MUMBAI: When it comes to adding flavour, Zoff Foods has turned up the heat by roping in Masterchef India Season 6 finalist and Forbes India Top 100 digital star, chef Natasha Gandhi, as its first digital ambassador.

The move marks a milestone in Zoff’s next growth phase, coming on the heels of its expansion into ready-to-cook gravies and offline retail tie-ups with Reliance Retail and D-Mart. For one of India’s fastest-growing spice brands, the collaboration is all about blending innovation with scale and adding a dash of star power to its storytelling.

Chef Natasha Gandhi, who is also the founder of House of Millets, brings with her a reputation for healthy, millet-based recipes and clean-label cooking. Her digital presence resonates strongly with young households seeking authenticity and convenience, a perfect match for Zoff’s vision of making modern Indian kitchens both healthier and easier to manage.

From whole and powdered spices to gourmet essentials, Zoff’s portfolio is designed for India’s evolving tastes. With Natasha’s recipes and digital voice anchoring campaigns, including past hits like #UnfilteredBandhan and #goldenglowwithzoff, the brand hopes to spark new consumer movements around flavour, health, and convenience.

“For us, it’s about empowering every home cook,” said Zoff Foods co-founder Akash Agrawalla. “With Natasha’s expertise and relatability, we see an opportunity to inspire households to put on their chef hats and trust Zoff as a kitchen partner.”

Chef Natasha echoed the sentiment: “This is not just about recipes, it’s about inspiring Indian households to embrace healthy eating and making flavourful cooking effortless. Zoff stands for purity and innovation, which is exactly what people want.”

With 450 plus products across skincare, haircare, bath and body already under its belt, Zoff’s foray into digital-first food storytelling looks set to redefine the spice aisle, one millet recipe at a time.

Zoff Foods stirs up ready-to-cook game with Reliance Retail tie-up

MUMBAI: Raipur-based spice disruptor Zoff Foods is whipping up a storm in Indian kitchens with the launch of its new Quick Homestyle Food range, marking its entry into the fast-growing ready-to-cook (RTC) segment. The launch comes with a strategic offline retail partnership with Reliance Retail, making the range available pan-India.

The lineup includes 5-minute Gravies (Rs 150) and 1-minute Marinades (Rs 75), served in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian avatars — from Paneer Tikka to Chicken Chettinad and Magic Mix Gravy to Mutton Curry. The kicker? No preservatives, no prep, and no flavour compromise.

Zoff’s latest play combines India’s craving for homestyle flavour with the rising demand for convenience. With its eye on becoming a full-stack kitchen solutions brand, the company is positioning itself as a serious player in the RTC space — where taste meets tech, minus the chopping board.

Talking about the partnership and expansion, ZOFF Foods co-founder Akash Agrawalla stated, “Indian kitchens are celebrated for their rich traditions and the love poured into every meal. At ZOFF Foods, we honour these culinary roots while embracing the evolving needs of today’s home cooks. With our 5-minute gravies and 1-minute marinades, we are introducing a convenient solution for today’s fast-paced lifestyles, without compromising on flavour or quality. Having built our reputation on delivering clean, high-quality whole spices, and this new launch is a natural extension of our promise, with a clear vision: “Ab poora India cook karega.’ We’re bringing authenticity and ease together in every pack. Through our strategic partnerships with Reliance Retail, we are making these innovations more accessible, reaching 400+ stores by July 2025 and helping consumers experience convenience like never before.”

Ashish Agrawal shared, “Akash and I have always shared a vision to bring innovation to Indian kitchens while staying true to the roots of purity and authenticity. This marks a significant step, not just for us, but for how Indian households can experience flavor, freshness, and convenience in new ways. Our evolving range, from whole spices to ready-to-cook gravies and marinades, reflects our commitment to clean-label, unadulterated food that meets modern needs while honoring our culinary heritage.”

The range is now available via zofffoods.com, Reliance Retail outlets, and is headed soon to e-commerce and quick commerce shelves.
