Hyderabad, May 22, 2025 : V-Rich, India’s clean-label food brand, is
rewriting the rules of snacking with the launch of Yogurt Alley—a natural
yogurt range that blends wellness with decadence. The range, which will be
launched in June 2025, in Hyderabad, is the latest addition to the company’s
growing portfolio of products dedicated to providing every Indian consumer
access to adulteration-free foods.
As discussion around healthy eating practices gains momentum in India,
urban consumers are increasingly adding yogurt to their diets to meet their
daily protein and gut health requirements. This shift is also reflected in the
country’s yogurt market size—while the industry was valued at R290 crores in
2024, it is projected to grow at a whopping 19.7 percent to reach R1,470 crores
by 2033. The numbers evidently give credence to the fact that a strong demand
for dairy products exists in the Indian market. However, news relating to
adulteration in the industry can dissuade those looking to embrace yogurt as
part of their wellness journey.
Noticing the loopholes in the Indian dairy market, and born out of
their own struggles to source preservative-free foods, the makers of Yogurt
Alley sought to create a range that would alleviate concerns of the fitness-conscious
consumer. V-Rich sets itself apart from legacy players by committing to
products made with traceable ingredients and crafted with best-in-class health
and safety standards. The products are sourced from the founder’s farm, and are
free from added sugars and unnecessary additives. In a bid to cater to the
varied tastes of Indian consumers, the yogurt range offers flavoured yogurt,
frozen yogurt, and yogurt smoothies in eight different flavours, and has been
naturally sweetened with fruits and honey. This thoughtful blend of
authenticity and safety allows the founders to create offerings that cater to
people of all ages.
The makers of Yogurt Alley are backing their quality claims with
action. Determined to provide consumers with the highest standard of products,
they subject each batch to four rigorous tests. Kavya Tummala, Chief Business
Officer of Yogurt Alley, gives us an insight into the process. "We begin
with microbiological testing to ensure every batch is safe for kids to consume.
Next, we perform a chemical evaluation, where aspects like pH, acidity levels,
and presence of preservatives and sugars are assessed. The third is a
nutritional analysis, where we check the protein, Vitamin D, and B12 levels.
And finally, we conduct a sensory and quality evaluation to assess
texture and overall product experience."
Speaking about Yogurt Alley, V-Rich founder and CEO Yogita Jahnavi
says, “One of the biggest challenges fitness-conscious consumers face is
finding healthy dessert options. Our yogurt is not only sugar-free but also
rich in protein, making it a smart, nutritious choice. When it comes to kids,
the market offers very few snacks that are both healthy and delicious. Yogurt
Alley is here to change that—it’s a guilt-free dessert and snacking option
that’s perfect for both children and adults. Our yogurt is made with milk that
has been sourced directly from our farm, where our cattle are nurtured with
care and fed home-grown fodder to ensure optimal nutrition. As a result of this
care, our dairy products are hormone-free, and rich in nutrients.”
Yogurt Alley is not your average frozen yogurt. It’s:
·
Preservative-free, chemical-free, and guilt-free
·
Naturally sweetened with fruits and honey—no
added sugars
·
Infused with probiotics and rich in protein
·
Available in eight artisanal flavours:
Raspberry, Blueberry, Blackberry, Apple, Vanilla Honey, Pista Dates, Chocolate,
and Honey Almond
Behind the making of Yogurt Alley is a powerful origin story— Jahnavi,
a former corporate professional, founded V-Rich during her pregnancy, when she
found herself incapable of putting her trust in the food brands available in
the market. A mother at war with adulterated food, she set her sights on
creating a dependable brand that would be the go-to pick for consumers in
India, and overseas. The Hyderabad launch will mark the first of many
milestones in the company’s expansion process.
