About

Who we are.

The people and partners building nutrition infrastructure.

Manufacturing

Designed and manufactured in India.

India offers world-class food science, cost-efficient manufacturing, and immediate relevance across institutional, disaster-response, and mass-market channels.

TCM is being developed with Indian manufacturing partners for both domestic deployment and global export. The regulatory pathway starts with FSSAI (India's food safety authority), with export certifications to follow.
