Epigamia, a healthy food brand, has made some important leadership changes. Ritesh Gauba has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO), while Ankur Goel has been promoted to Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Gauba has a lot of experience in the FMCG (fast-moving consumer goods) industry. He has worked on building premium brands and handling sales both online and offline. Earlier, he was the General Manager for India at Pladis, which owns brands like McVitie’s and Godiva. Before that, he also worked in leadership roles at Mars and Britannia.
After Co-founder Rohan Mirchandani passed away, Ankur Goel took charge as acting head in December 2024. He worked closely with Co-founder Uday Thakker and Growth Head Ajinkya Poundrik. Under his leadership, the company performed very well in 2025–26, achieving its highest growth and profits so far. Because of this, he has now been promoted to Co-founder and COO at Epigamia.
At the same time, Ritesh Gauba has been appointed as the new CEO. His role will be to help the company grow faster, expand its business, and become stronger in India’s consumer market.
Commenting on his appointment, Ritesh Gauba said, “Epigamia is one of India’s most loved new-age food brands, and I am excited to join at such a meaningful juncture. The company’s strong fundamentals, the founding family’s commitment, and Verlinvest’s long-term partnership create a powerful platform for category-defining growth. I look forward to working closely with the leadership team to take the brand to its next horizon.”
With support from investor Verlinvest, Epigamia has become a popular healthy food brand in India. Its products are now sold in more than 25,000 stores across 30+ cities. The brand has also grown quickly on online platforms like Amazon, Blinkit, Instamart, and Zepto.
In the last year, the company saw its best results so far, with over 50% growth in 2025–26. This growth came from better profits, a strong position in the market, and popular products.
Epigamia’s success is also driven by products like Greek yogurt, smoothies, and high-protein snacks. Now, the founders and investors plan to build on this success and focus on long-term growth for the brand.
