Nourish You acquires One Good
Mumbai: Nourish You, India’s pioneering superfood brand announces the 100% acquisition of leading vegan dairy brand, One Good, in a landmark moment in India’s burgeoning plant-based foods ecosystem.
Founded in 2016 under the name Goodmylk, One Good, headquartered in Bengaluru, is best known for its award-winning range of vegan dairy products like milks, cheeses, chocolates, curd, ghee, butter, and more. This acquisition marks the largest M&A activity in the conscious-consumption category. Making way for long-term growth and backed with a shared vision, the One Good team including CEO & Co-founder Abhay Rangan, CFO & Co-founder Radhika Datt, and COO Dhivakar Sathyamurthy join the leadership team at Nourish You.
Starting with 50 acres to over 5000 acres today, Nourish You pioneered the cultivation of Quinoa and Chia in India. Having expanded into the superfoods category with a range of innovative products made with fills, mueslis and plant-based milk, Nourish You’s products are available across over 2,500 retail stores. Nourish You is backed by marquee investors including Zerodha’s Nikhil Kamath, leading actor and active investor Samantha Ruth Prabhu, Darwinbox’s Rohit Chennamaneni, Triumph Group’s Y Janardhana Rao, Gruhas Proptech’s Abhijeet Pai, KIMS Hospitals’ Abhinay Bollineni among others. The company ventured into alternative dairy with the launch of Millet Mlk in early 2023. It secured the Poshak Anaaj Award 2023 from Indian Institute of Millet Research (IIMR) and the Best Alternative to Dairy accolade from Plant-Based Foods Industry Association (PBFIA) for Millet Mlk.
One Good is known for its efforts in innovating to offer vegan milk at a lesser cost as compared to cow’s milk in select pockets of the country. It continues its mission of enabling access to high-quality, accessible plant-based nutrition for all. A leader in the vegan dairy category, One Good has acquired 3 plant-based companies till date.
Speaking on the acquisition, Nourish You co-founder Krishna Reddy said, “From introducing India to the power of superfoods and now acquiring One Good, Nourish You evolves from being a superfood brand to a plant-based brand, embracing a more inclusive vision. One Good’s journey is revolutionary. It was born with a vision of creating the next big dairy company, devoid of animals. Moreover, it is led by a team of fervent vegans dedicated to both innovation and animal protection. The acquisition integrates Nourish You’s commitment to animal welfare with our existing values of nourishing consumers, farmers, and the planet. It also reinforces our commitment to make healthy, flavorful plant-based foods, affordable and accessible.”
Speaking on becoming a part of the Nourish You family, One Good, CEO & co-founder Abhay Rangan said, “Our journey towards creating One Good was ignited by a passion for animal rights and a dedication to accessible and affordable plant-based alternatives for all. We are excited about being a part of Nourish You’s incredible platform and leveraging their scale and operational excellence to build India’s biggest plant-based dairy company.”

Uidai partners with Google to help users locate Aadhaar centres
Verified Aadhaar centres to appear on Maps with services and access info
MUMBAI: Finding an Aadhaar centre may soon be as easy as finding your favourite café. In a move aimed at making public services more accessible, the Unique Identification Authority of India has partnered with Google to display authorised Aadhaar centres on Google Maps. The feature, expected to roll out in the coming months, will allow residents to locate verified centres quickly and confidently.
More than 60,000 Aadhaar centres, including state of the art Aadhaar Seva Kendras, will be mapped. When users search on Google Maps, they will be directed to authorised facilities rather than unverified listings, helping curb misinformation and confusion.
The listings will do more than drop a pin. Users will be able to see the nature of services offered at each centre, whether it is adult enrolment, child enrolment, or limited to address and mobile number updates. Details such as operating hours, parking availability and divyang friendly infrastructure will also be shown wherever applicable.
Uidai CEO Bhuvnesh Kumar, said the collaboration is part of the authority’s continued effort to improve ease of living for Aadhaar holders by making authorised centres simpler and faster to navigate.
The partnership will deepen in its next phase, with Uidai using Google Business Profile to manage information and respond directly to public feedback. Looking ahead, the two organisations are also exploring the option of enabling appointment bookings through the Google Maps interface, potentially allowing residents to plan their visits with greater efficiency.
Google India country head, strategic partnerships Roli Agarwal, said integrating verified Aadhaar centres would help millions access trusted services with confidence, bringing essential government infrastructure closer to the people who need it most.
If all goes to plan, a routine Aadhaar update may soon begin not with a queue, but with a search bar.
