Healthy food brand Epigamia has appointed Ritesh Gauba as Chief Executive Officer, while elevating Ankur Goel to the role of co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, marking a key leadership transition for the company.
Goel had been serving as the acting head of the company since December 2024, following the demise of co-founder Rohan Mirchandani. During this period, he worked alongside co-founder Uday Thakker and growth head Ajinkya Poundrik to steer the company’s operations.
The leadership reshuffle comes after a strong growth phase for Epigamia, which reported over 50% revenue growth in FY26, along with improved profitability, indicating strengthening fundamentals in the competitive healthy foods segment.
Ritesh Gauba brings extensive experience in the FMCG and consumer brands space, having previously held leadership roles at Pladis, Mars, and Britannia Industries. His appointment signals Epigamia’s focus on scaling operations and strengthening its market position.
Epigamia operates across categories such as Greek yogurt, smoothies, and protein snacks, and has expanded its distribution across modern retail, e-commerce, and quick commerce platforms, aligning with evolving consumer preferences for health focused products.
Backed by investors including Verlinvest, Danone Manifesto Ventures, and DSG Consumer Partners, the company has raised around $60 million to date.
The leadership changes are expected to support Epigamia’s next phase of growth as it looks to deepen its presence in India’s rapidly expanding health and nutrition market.
