So, we have created this GDM diet plan which takes care of the nutrition needs of the would be moms that is tasty, nutritious and easy to cook/ready to eat.
We've created ProMOM, which is a unique balanced diet, that is tastefully packaged and provides the would be mother with ready access to her daily nutrition need, without being dependent on anyone.
With this we think that one of the major challenges that an would be mom with GDM faces, that is access to a proper diet, a diet which is nutritious, tasty, visually appealing and Ready to cook and ready to eat is being addressed.
The would be mom can go about her daily chores without having to worry about what her next meal could be. Typically, a lot of time is spent by the mom in trying to implement the diet plan that is suggested by the doctor/dietitian/nutritionist, which can be very stressful on the person.

Currently our solution is in the protyping stage.
In the next one year we envisage that the solution will serve atleast 2000 moms to be which will increase to whole of Bangalore, targeting atleast 5000 in the next 2 years end of the 5th year we would like to target atleast 100000 of the potential 250000 in the major cities across India.
Our Team is trying to tackle the problem of 10000 to be mothers diagnosed with GDM in Bangalore.
Our product ProMOM, which is a unique balanced diet, that is tastefully packaged and provides the would be mother with ready access to her daily nutrition need, without being dependent on anyone.
At Kaulige Foods we feel that we could branch out of Bangalore and spread our wings with a similar template across india and reach out to the would be mothers across the subcontinent.
The model is to tie up with local manufacturers or distributors with similar interests and those with similar manufacturing facilities, thereby making the efforts scalable as well profitable and to some extent encourage local entrepreneurship. Hence it is a Win Win situation both for us as well as those who decide to partner with us in areas where we do not have a presence.
This way we can have a Pan India presence and improve our brand visibility.
Hence, we are convinced that we're going to scale through partnerships.
On the operating side one strong thought is that we would be partnering with organizations that are already into the food business, local distributors and wholesalers through license arrangements and agreements so that scalability could be achieved with minimum lead time.
Our Production model will be very effective because most of the production will be taken care of the partners while we could concentrate on support and means to enhance the brand building and marketing.
