The Whole Truth has announced that it has secured $6 million in the Sequoia Capital India led series A funding round. Existing investors Sauce.Vc and Matrix Partners India, as well as a group of angel investors including Kalyan Krishnamurthy, Sujeet Kumar, Ashneer Grover and Shashvat Nakrani participated in the latest funding round.
Shashank Mehta, Founder, The Whole Truth, said, “At TWT, we’re hell-bent on bringing truth back to food. We do this through our 100 percent clean-label products, and through clutter breaking content that helps consumers spot the misleading information they’re being provided.”
He further said, “The immense consumer love we’ve garnered in just 18 months of existence, has shown us how deeply consumers resonate with the problem we’re solving. And with partners like Sequoia Capital India, plus several amazing founder-angels joining our mission, we’re all set to turbocharge this crusade — and hopefully set packaged foods right in the process.”
Abhishek Mohan, Principal, Sequoia India, added, “Sequoia Capital India is thrilled to partner with Shashank and rest of the team at The Whole Truth. They have a simple yet very powerful mission of making 100 percent clean-label food. We have been very impressed with the customer love for their early set of products and excited about the journey ahead.”
