Time-Saving Treats: 5 Women-Led Ready-to-Eat Food Businesses

February 7, 2025

In our daily, hectic lives, food often takes a back seat. Eating out too much, ordering in daily, or skipping out on meals entirely are a few consequences of the same. But no more. There are a number of women-led brands that are providing options in all kinds of foods that are quick and easy to consume, whether it is proper meals, snacks, or desserts. These do not lack in taste either which makes the switch to their products much easier. 
If you are ready to try some out for yourself, here are 5 women-led brands on Women Listed that offer ready-to-eat items.

1. Mranalini Jain

Sometimes we crave a full home-cooked meal but do not have the time or the means to make one ourselves. This is where Delhi-based DryM Foods, founded by Mranalini Jain, comes in. The products here, like Rajma Chawal, Poha, and Bhindi, are all ready to eat and all one needs to do is add water. These items are made without any chemicals or preservatives, and still have a shelf life of up to 6 months. North Indian cuisine is what you will find here, though there are also variations of the same meals, like ones for babies, or without onion and garlic, available. You will also find that they have chutneys, desserts, and breads like roti and parathas here as well.

2. Parul Agarwal

Parul Agarwal founded Veg4U, a brand in Kolkata that offers plant-based items exclusively. They incorporate superfoods like millets, quinoa, and soy in their products, which are a great source of protein and fibre. Tofu in different flavours like masala and tandoori, makhana packets, and breakfast cereals in chocolate, and vanilla flavour are the kind of ready to eat foods you will find here. This woman-led brand meets the quick pace of our daily lives with an efficient and healthy solution, without compromising on the taste factor. Not only are they full of nutrition, these items are also rich in carbs and help boost our immunity.

3. Manisha

Manisha’s Food Products is an award-winning woman-led brand based in Dhule that provides a variety of ready to eat food products. This is another option for those who are looking to switch their snacking habits to be healthier, without giving up the taste. Their Bhakri Bites, for example, come in six different flavors like ‘Double Spicy’ and ‘Ginger-Chilli’. The range of munchies offered here on the other hand contain options like ‘Corny Crunchies’ and ‘Jowar Munchies’. These will not only be a great snack by themselves, but also can be added to make better side dishes. If you are looking for recipes, you can check out their Instagram page.

4. Sanjana Mathur

One of the most flavourful components of any dish are the different kinds of sauces that are in it. And Sanjana Mathur, founder of Basil and Pestle, has a range of condiments that will elevate any dish. You can use their ‘Spicy Dan Dan’ that is made with peanut butter for a sandwich, or the ‘Green Goddess’ sauce with ingredients like basil and spinach as salad dressing. This woman-led brand also has other kinds of ready to eat treats. ‘English Toffee Bark’ sweetened with jaggery powder, and ‘Nutty Rum Balls’ that also come in a kid-friendly version without the alcohol are a few other options you can find in their catalog.

5. Swapna Jinsiwale

Swapna Jiniswale’s Granny’s Chocolate is your one stop shop for homemade chocolate treats. Nestled in Indore, this woman-led brand has a variety of different items to offer like chocolate bars, bonbons, or ones with a soft filling in the centre. Within their options you can also find more rare combinations like the treats that are paan flavoured, or the ones made with Kunafa. One of their products that catches your eye is their ‘3 in 1 Marble Bar’. These are made with three different types of chocolate; white, milk, and dark, and also have the crunchiness brought in by fruit and nuts. You can also get themed hampers for festivals or occasions like weddings here.
