The Delhi-based Wonderland Foods was founded by Mr. Anubhav Gupta in 2014 to change the perception of customers in India towards dry fruits and premium nuts. The firm’s processing facility is located in Delhi’s DSIDC Industrial Area, Narela. Under the leadership of Mr. Gupta, the company has achieved remarkable success, evident through its commitment to quality, innovation, customer satisfaction, and impressive growth rate. In addition to the dry fruit and nut industry, it is involved in the manufacturing of colours and chemicals, and operates a non-banking finance business and exports clothing.
WHAT PAVED THE WAY
The genesis of Wonderland Foods can be traced back to the entrepreneurial endeavours of the Gupta family. In 1983, Mr. Rakesh Kumar Gupta laid the foundation for the business with Sun Organic Global Group, a venture specialising in direct sourcing of dry fruits and spices from farms worldwide. Building upon his father’s robust sourcing capabilities, Mr. Anubhav Gupta seamlessly integrated the business with his vision of promoting healthier snacking alternatives in the local market. This fusion of ideas gave rise to Wonderland Foods in 2014.
BREAKING NEW GROUND
With a significant presence in every Indian state, Wonderland Foods is currently one of the fastest-growing brands in the country’s dry fruit industry. Its growth rate is remarkable and has surpassed 250 times in just nine years.
In its first year, the company had only four employees and revenue of INR 96 lakh. It is now on track to achieve a turnover between INR 350 crore and INR 400 crore in the financial year 2023-2024. Offering a diverse range of products, from flavoured and roasted almonds to exotic dried fruits, fusion foods such as pop rice and quinoa puffs, and 10 different flavours of fox nuts (makhanas), the brand caters to a wide range of demands. Recognised as a top seller of dry fruits on Amazon, it has also attained Platinum Seller status on Flipkart.
Wonderland Foods continues to innovate with new offerings, including coconut and jaggery-flavoured walnuts and trendy flavours like Sriracha, Wasabi, Truffle, and Peri Peri to appeal to a younger audience. It thrives on satisfying midnight cravings, while promoting healthy snacking, as demonstrated on its website with a collection of recipes showcasing how its nuts can be used to create delicious and nutritious snacks.
