Khetika is a Mumbai-based clean-food startup that sells pesticide-free spices, dry fruits, and nuts directly to consumers and businesses

The company invested ₹10 crore to launch a spice processing and testing facility in Unjha, Gujarat, as part of a larger infrastructure expansion

This facility aims to support the company's goal of reaching a ₹1,000 crore business by ensuring global quality standards for international exports

Khetika has launched a new pesticide-free spice processing and testing facility in Unjha, Gujarat.
The company invested ₹10 crore into this initial facility to ensure high-quality production standards.
This investment is the first phase of a broader ₹100 crore infrastructure plan scheduled over the next three years.
The facility features a capacity of 500 tonnes and is expected to reach full utilization within its first year.
The lab conducts rigorous testing for pesticide residues, microbial contamination, and chemical safety to meet international export requirements.
Khetika aims to expand its reach into markets including the US, Europe, and the Middle East.

Global markets often restrict the use of ethylene oxide, a chemical commonly used for decontamination that leaves harmful residues.
The company uses Integrated Pest Management through its SAATHI programme to help farmers reduce chemical pesticide usage at the source.
Khetika is transitioning from a B2B distribution model to a branded consumer focus to capture higher value.

Khetika sells a range of stoneground spice powders, dry fruits, nuts, seeds, and batters.
The brand positions itself as India's first toxin-free range of spices sourced from single authentic origins.
Products include items like turmeric, coriander, chilli, and garam masala, all processed without preservatives.
The company previously operated through a B2B distribution model known as SuperZop.
Revenue reached ₹375 crore in FY26, showing significant growth from ₹247 crore in FY25.
Management has set a revenue target of ₹500 crore for the upcoming FY27 period.

The company plans to invest a total of ₹100 crore in infrastructure over three years.
Khetika aims to build a ₹1,000 crore spices business through international expansion.
