Business Overview
Confirmed- Operates as "TagZ Foods," a Bengaluru-based D2C/omnichannel "better-for-you" snacking brand founded in June 2019 by Anish Basu Roy (previously co-founder of Slurrp Farm) and Sagar Bhalotia
- Products: baked/popped potato chips (marketed as ~50% less fat), gourmet dips, cookies/protein snacks and chocolates, sold via its own D2C site (tagzfoods.com), quick-commerce and retail
- Held DPIIT "Recognised Startup" status and was official snacking licensee of IPL team Rajasthan Royals
- In Nov 2024, amid production halts and scaling difficulties, the company was acquired by Reliance Consumer Products Ltd (Reliance Retail) for ~₹28 Cr in what multiple outlets (Inc42, various trade press) described as a "distress/fire sale," reportedly against a peak funding-round valuation cited around $1.5 Bn-equivalent claims in social posts (unverified, treat with caution)
- FY25 (year to 31 Mar 2025) revenue rebounded to ~₹26.6-26.7 Cr with a reported swing to net profit post-acquisition
- Current MCA directors (Shylaja Kotresha, Munirajappa Lakshmi Narayana) were appointed Dec 2024/Apr 2025, consistent with a change of control to the acquirer around that time
- original founders no longer appear as directors on recent filings

| EBITDA | not obtained (locked behind paid tiers on all sources checked) |

- Beyond Snack (D2C healthy-snacking startup) — comparable/similar early-stage D2C scale
- Farmley (dry-fruit/healthy snacks D2C) — comparable-to-larger, well-funded D2C peer
- Yoga Bar (health foods incl. snacks/bars) — larger, more diversified health-food D2C brand
- Bingo! (ITC) / Lay's (PepsiCo) — very large incumbent FMCG chip brands (order-of-magnitude larger)
