Company Overview
GO DESi is an Indian packaged food company that operates as an internet-first brand for traditional snacks and confectioneries. Founded in 2018 by siblings Vinay and Raksha Kothari, the company aims to make regional and traditional flavors accessible to a wider urban market. Their product line includes items like fruit-based candies (DESi POPz), snacks, and mouth fresheners inspired by local recipes. The company follows a socially responsible business model by sourcing its products from farmers, self-help groups, and micro-entrepreneurs in rural areas, ensuring that a significant portion of the consumer value is returned to the rural economy. GO DESi has raised several rounds of funding, including a Series B in 2024, to expand its product portfolio, distribution reach, and manufacturing capacity. The brand sells through online channels and has a presence in over 40,000 physical stores.
