Singaporean food tech company Shandi Global has introduced Chanza, a chickpea-based plant protein product, to the Indian market. The product, designed to resemble meat chunks, is free from soy, gluten, and artificial binders, making it suitable for a wide range of Indian recipes like curries and tandoori dishes. Initially targeting businesses such as restaurants, institutions, and corporations, Shandi plans to expand to retail markets in 2026, along with collaborations with gyms and fitness communities.

With successful expansions into Thailand, Canada, and Australia, Shandi Global's revenues have doubled from $0.6 million in 2023 to $1.2 million in 2024. The company aims to surpass $10 million this year by offering various plant-based products like burger patties, schnitzel, nuggets, and protein soups. Recognized as the "Protein Innovation Icon of the Year" at the Vegan India Conference 2025, Shandi Global is dedicated to making plant-based protein-rich foods accessible, sustainable, and affordable for all, without compromise.
