Foodmed Nutrients
Business Background
Foodmed Nutrients is a brand established in 2020 in Tezpur, Assam by Ms. Munu Mani Das. The company manufactures value-added products using indigenous herbs such as Indian Pennywort and Skunkvine, fruits like Elephant Apple and Garcinia, and spices including Bhut Jolokia, Ginger, and Turmeric. The brand is committed to promoting the rich natural resources of Northeast India through innovative food processing.
Challenge
After experiencing significant losses in a previous business venture, Ms. Munu Mani Das faced the difficult task of rebuilding her confidence and identifying a sustainable entrepreneurial opportunity. She wanted to create value from Northeast India's rich natural resources but needed technical expertise, industry knowledge, and the right guidance to transform her vision into a viable business.
Solution
Seeking a fresh start, Ms. Munu Mani Das joined Udyogprerana's food processing and dehydration technology training program under the mentorship of Atul Mardikar. Through hands-on training, technical guidance, and continuous support, she learned how to convert indigenous herbs, fruits, and spices into innovative value-added products. The mentorship not only strengthened her technical capabilities but also renewed her confidence to pursue entrepreneurship once again.
Outcome
The knowledge and encouragement gained through Udyogprerana became the foundation for the establishment of Foodmed Nutrients. Today, the company successfully develops value-added products from Northeast India's unique biodiversity, promoting regional resources while creating new business opportunities. Foodmed Nutrients stands as a testament to how the right training, mentorship, and determination can transform challenges into a thriving enterprise.

"Atul sir not just taught me the dehydration technology but also the business plan, market research, cost benefit analysis, how to make a market viable product etc. It gave me a new approach to life.. From give up to stood up.. Atul sir has taught me everything that an entrepreneur should know before taking any business venture. Even the brandname "Foodmed Nutrients" was given by him.
