About

"Turning the humble spice into a movement for purity, trust, and innovation" I’m Akash Agrawalla, Founder of ZOFF (Zone of Fresh Food), one of India’s fastest-growing spice brands, known for cool grinding technology, zip-lock freshness, and absolutely no compromise on purity. From pitching on Shark Tank India S2 to earning a spot in BW 40 Under 40 (2023), IMPACT CMO 40 Under 40 (2024) and ET 40 Under 40 (2025) my journey is driven by one goal: to build a ₹1000 crore brand that every Indian kitchen trusts. 💡 What I do: Building connection deeply with consumers. Scale omni-channel FMCG businesses (Q-commerce, E-commerce, GT, MT). Create high-impact marketing & influencer campaigns. Share startup learnings with fellow entrepreneurs. 🏋️‍♂️ Beyond business: 5 AM Club member, fitness enthusiast, lifelong learner, explorer & always seeking the next challenge, whether in the gym, on the road or in the boardroom.

Experience

Zoff

Co-Founder

Sep 2017 – Present · 8 yrs 6 mos · Raipur, Chhattisgarh, India · On-site

  • Zoff network of spice procurement is spread across India, selecting only the best. We have our own procurement centres and the best people to procure top quality spices at growing areas.
  • We are the first in India to use Air Classifying Mills (ACMs) to grind all our spices. ACMs work at only 30° – 40° C, so our spices can retain their full flavour and aroma till you start to cook.
