Wonderland Foods, a fast-growing brand in India’s healthy snacking and dry fruits segment, has raised ₹140 crore in its first institutional funding round to accelerate growth and strengthen its position in the country’s branded nuts and dry fruits market. The round was led by Asha Ventures and British International Investments (BII), the UK’s development finance institution and impact investor, the NCR-based company announced on Thursday.
The fresh capital will be used to establish a new green processing facility and create over 1,000 formal jobs, with a special focus on women’s employment, the company said in a statement. Founders Rakesh Gupta and Anubhav Gupta, in a joint statement, said “We are delighted to partner with the Government of Uttar Pradesh to set up a ₹250 crore greenfield nuts and dry fruits processing plant in Greater Noida. This facility will generate over 1,000 employment opportunities for women and contribute to the strengthening of India’s food processing ecosystem.”
Over the past few years, Wonderland Foods has rapidly expanded its distribution across modern retail chains and major e-commerce platforms, including Amazon, Flipkart, Swiggy Instamart, Blinkit, and Zepto. Commenting on the investment, Pramod Bhasin and Vikram Gandhi, Founding Partners at Asha Ventures, said “The healthy snacking sector is witnessing robust growth driven by evolving consumer preferences. Wonderland is ideally positioned to lead the transition from unbranded, loose products to high-quality, hygienically packed and trusted offerings.”
