| Keeros | Keeros Founders, Sachin Sahni and Simran Sahni are seasoned professionals in the health and wellness industry with an experience of over 19 years. Having successfully served over 50,000 clients they noticed that when it came to satisfying their mid-meal hunger pangs, people often went for snacks that were deep-fried, loaded with artificial flavoursand extremely unhealthy.This got them thinking about whether they could come up with healthier alternatives that offered wholesome nutrition. The challenge was to come up with something that would be appealing to the taste buds and at the same time was also easy on the pocket. Another goal that spurred them on was the determination to create healthy-snacking options for diabetics, who had limited choices.The duo got down to work and sought inspiration from traditional Indian foods and global health food trends. They experimented with different blends, learning something from each mistake and carrying on with the experience gained. Their perseverance finally paid off with the creation of a perfect blend of great taste and nutritional benefits -Keeros Roasted Supersnacks that are Healthy for All, Safe for Diabetics. |  | Seed | Jul 26, 2021 |  |
