After living in New York for 23 years, Amit Sharma returned to his native India with the desire to do something meaningful for underprivileged children. He became inspired to create a food product that would provide adequate protein, iron and much needed micronutrients for children suffering from malnutrition.
After lengthy consideration, we decided to use Spirulina as our protein base, but faced many challenges with its unpleasant odor and taste. We enlisted a team at the Applied Science University Of Bern, Switzerland to create a product that could scientifically eliminate the perceived inherent organoleptic challenges of Spirulina resulting in a delicious gummy that children would eagerly ingest. When we were satisfied with our product, a pilot was launched at Bosch in Germany to determine the feasibility of large industrial production.
