Without a doubt, veganism is becoming more and more popular in India and is here to stay. Even some of the most well-known executive chefs in the nation were unaware of veganism ten years ago, but today we can even find street sellers knowledgeable about vegan food. In addition to the countless animals spared every year, vegan start-ups are flourishing and exerting an impact on the natural environment and the carbon footprint.
So let’s look at the startups driving this revolution, which the next generation will thank us for.

Abhishek Sinha, Deepak Parihar, Stephanie Downs, Shruti Sonali, and Taranum Bhatia are the creators of this plant-based meat startup. The very first vegan chicken alternative in India was launched by Good Dot. They leverage plant-based foods from resources like soy, wheat, and peas to manufacture all of their products. Under the brand GoodDo, GoodDot also launched a network of vegan food kiosks in Udaipur and Mumbai. By delivering dishes made using Good Dot’s faux meat, GoodDo’s primary goal is to raise public awareness of vegan cuisine. Curry bowls, chicken tikka, and biryani include some of their most well-liked dishes.
