India’s food and beverage sector is in the midst of a major evolution. With consumers demanding cleaner labels, functional ingredients, and healthier alternatives, the market is rapidly shifting from commodities to specialized, innovation-driven products. At the same time, the rise of D2C brands and modern HORECA concepts has created unprecedented momentum young companies today are bursting with ideas, but execution requires scientific depth and manufacturing sophistication.
Yet this momentum comes with a distinct challenge: the widening R&D Gap. Many emerging brands can conceptualize brilliant recipes in a kitchen, but struggle to convert them into shelf-stable, scalable, and nutritionally sound products.
Moreover, traditional manufacturers designed for volume rather than versatility, often impose rigid formulations and high MOQs that stifle creativity instead of nurturing it. It is precisely in this transformed landscape that Core De Industries steps in. Designed for the new era of food innovation, Core De acts as the strategic bridge between concept and commercialization.

Today, Core De Industries is earning a reputation for versatility across high-growth categories. Its capabilities span Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverages such as oat and soya-based drinks and functional juices Ready-to-Eat (RTE) nutrition like high-protein bars and cookies, and a wide range of Ready-to-Cook (RTC) solutions.
