Built on the company’s Canatein/Sproutin platform, Chanza is a versatile, high-protein plant-based product designed for Indian culinary formats and large-scale service environments.
Bengaluru / Singapore - September 2025 The launch of "Chanza" in India, one of the fastest-growing foodservice and corporate nutrition industries globally, is a major addition to Shandi Global's food technology portfolio. A plant-based product high in protein, Chanza was created with consideration for flavour, texture, and menu versatility. B2B channels, such as restaurants, corporate cafeterias, and institutional foodservice partners, are the main emphasis of the company's initial go-to-market strategy.
For chefs, contract caterers, and procurement executives who are under pressure to provide nutrient-dense, repeatable meals in large quantities, Chanza is positioned as a premium, scalable protein choice. Instead of starting straight on store shelves, Shandi Global is prioritising foodservice partners, which is in line with how India's urban workforce is actually fed: through corporate canteens, QSR models, and big institutional kitchens that serve thousands of servings daily.
The product is designed to work across Indian and international formats, including tawa-style gravies, biryani-style inclusions, wraps, grills, bowls, and quick-serve applications. The goal is to offer a reliable, high-protein base that can carry local spice profiles, hold structure in sauce, and perform under line conditions without requiring major changes in kitchen process. The emphasis is on taste, nutritional delivery, and kitchen usability - not only sustainability messaging.
Shandi Global confirmed that following this institutional rollout, Chanza is planned to be available to consumers in 2026 through retail and direct channels in major Indian metro cities. This next phase will allow health-focused consumers and home cooks to access the same product being introduced into corporate and foodservice settings.
Chanza is powered by Shandi Global’s proprietary Canatein/Sproutin technology platform. This platform is built to deliver functional plant-based protein systems that can be tuned for texture, bite, cooking stability, and nutritional density. It underpins not only meat-alternative products like Chanza, but also functional beverage concepts and ready-to-eat meal formats. By controlling structure and performance at the ingredient level, Shandi Global can adapt products for Indian cuisine expectations rather than importing a one-texture-fits-all format.
“Through our product lines, we want to make protein-rich, plant-based foods a natural part of everyday Indian diets; delicious, sustainable, and affordable.” said Dr. Gaurav Sharma, Co-founder, Shandi Global.
According to its plan, Shandi Global is positioned to become a leading provider of functional nutrition and next-generation protein solutions for the foodservice industry in India. The company hopes to establish itself as a long-term partner to operators, corporate buyers, and urban customers looking for reliable, superior plant-based protein sources by fusing culinary versatility, protein density, and a production platform built for scale.
