Samantha has not only invested in Nourish You but also introduced its first plant-based, vegan, and lactose-free milk alternative named Millet Mlk, marking the company’s entry into the alternative dairy market. This product is the result of two years of research on innovative millet-based products conducted by Nourish You. As the United Nations has declared 2023 as the International Year of Millets, Nourish You is in a favorable position to contribute towards the Government of India’s goal of establishing India as a global center for millets.

“We welcome Samantha to the Nourish You family; her thoughts on ancient foods are well aligned with ours. Her investment in the company is a testament to the products we have developed so far and the success we have achieved. We believe this partnership with Samantha will help us strengthen our position in the market as we unfold India’s superfood growth story.” said Krishna Reddy, Co-founder, of Nourish You.

On introducing Nourish You’s Millet Mlk, Sowmya Reddy, Co-founder, of Nourish You further added “I have been lactose intolerant since birth, and always saw my mother struggle to find non-dairy alternatives that were nutritious, delicious, and of good quality. This inspired me to join the development of Millet Mlk at Nourish You. The difficulties and challenges in finding dairy-free alternatives are significant even today and Nourish You’s Millet Mlk fills these gaps. The product is Nourish You’s commitment and answer to consumers like myself; it is nutritionally rich, tastes great, and 100% pure goodness.”
