Eyeing the burgeoning US$ 100 billion global natural foods and drinks industry, Jitin Munjal, former Global Director for Sales and Marketing at DuPont has announced his natural nutrition food and beverage venture, Jus’ Amazin Foods and Beverages Pvt. Ltd. Co-founded with his wife, Shilpa Mogilishetty, Jus’ Amazin started in the kitchen, as the couple were developing nutritiously rich natural food products that are delicious, for their son, who is allergic to dairy and soy products. After a lot of R&D, the kitchen experiment has now grown (over the last few months), to be present in 75 retail stores, and 20 e-commerce sites, pan-India.

Speaking on the venture, Jitin Munjal, Co-founder and CEO of Jus’ Amazin said, “Most packaged food is highly processed, packed with chemicals and low in nutrition, and as consumer awareness about the ill-effects of chemicals in food is growing, they are demanding foods that are natural, nutritious and delicious. While trying to find dairy and soy free foods for our son, we realized how underserved the natural and nutritious food market is in India. Jus Amazin caters to the health and nutrition conscious consumer with natural wholesome foods, which are both delicious and nutritious.”
