B2B food processing startup Suite42 announced on Tuesday that it has raised $4.3 million in funding co-led by Omnivore and Orios Venture Partners, with participation from Titan Capital, All In Capital, Pointone Capital and Udaan’s Sujeet Kumar.

Suite42 plans to use the funding for talent acquisition, the development of the “Suite42 Standard” in the food processing ecosystem, the launch of commodity financing and the piloting of cross-border trade (exports).

Suite42, based in Bengaluru, was founded in 2022 by Rahul Ratan, Ramakrishna Cheruku, Chethan S, Shriram S Rahul and Ramakrishna.

“Our mission is to empower food manufacturers in India by leveraging technology and creating efficient and standardized processes. As a result, brands and consumers will have access to premium products and ingredients at affordable prices,” said Ratan, co-founder and CEO of Suite42.

Over the next 18 months, the startup aims to work with various B2B clients, including e-commerce, D2C, FMCG brands, and 2,000 modern outlets across multiple cities.

“The sector is very disorganized with deep inefficiencies. Less than 5% of India’s agricultural production is processed, preventing the realization of profits across value chains. We are thrilled to see Suite42 revitalizing the food processing space in India,” said Jinesh Shah, Managing Partner of Omnivore.
