Zoff adds spice to digital with chef Natasha Gandhi as first ambassador
MUMBAI: When it comes to adding flavour, Zoff Foods has turned up the heat by roping in Masterchef India Season 6 finalist and Forbes India Top 100 digital star, chef Natasha Gandhi, as its first digital ambassador.
The move marks a milestone in Zoff’s next growth phase, coming on the heels of its expansion into ready-to-cook gravies and offline retail tie-ups with Reliance Retail and D-Mart. For one of India’s fastest-growing spice brands, the collaboration is all about blending innovation with scale and adding a dash of star power to its storytelling.
Chef Natasha Gandhi, who is also the founder of House of Millets, brings with her a reputation for healthy, millet-based recipes and clean-label cooking. Her digital presence resonates strongly with young households seeking authenticity and convenience, a perfect match for Zoff’s vision of making modern Indian kitchens both healthier and easier to manage.
From whole and powdered spices to gourmet essentials, Zoff’s portfolio is designed for India’s evolving tastes. With Natasha’s recipes and digital voice anchoring campaigns, including past hits like #UnfilteredBandhan and #goldenglowwithzoff, the brand hopes to spark new consumer movements around flavour, health, and convenience.
“For us, it’s about empowering every home cook,” said Zoff Foods co-founder Akash Agrawalla. “With Natasha’s expertise and relatability, we see an opportunity to inspire households to put on their chef hats and trust Zoff as a kitchen partner.”
Chef Natasha echoed the sentiment: “This is not just about recipes, it’s about inspiring Indian households to embrace healthy eating and making flavourful cooking effortless. Zoff stands for purity and innovation, which is exactly what people want.”
With 450 plus products across skincare, haircare, bath and body already under its belt, Zoff’s foray into digital-first food storytelling looks set to redefine the spice aisle, one millet recipe at a time.

Eternal posts Rs 54,364 crore revenue, up 168 per cent in FY26
Q4 profit rises to Rs 174 crore as firm streamlines District business
NEW DELHI: Eternal Limited reported a sharp surge in scale for FY26, with consolidated revenue rising 168 per cent year-on-year to Rs 54,364 crore, underscoring strong growth across its core businesses.
The company’s growth was mirrored in its bottom line, with a total annual profit of Rs 366 crore. The fourth quarter was particularly strong, contributing Rs 17,292 crore in revenue and Rs 174 crore in profit, a sharp rise compared to the Rs 39 crore profit recorded in the same period last year.
Key financial metrics from the report include:
- Total assets: Increased to Rs 40,736 crore from last year’s Rs 35,623 crore.
- Delivery charges: The company collected Rs 9,065 crore in delivery and related charges over the year.
- Employee costs: Staffing and benefit expenses amounted to Rs 3,536 crore.
- Liquidity: The firm maintains a cash balance of Rs 996 crore, supported by Rs 632 crore generated from operating activities.
On the strategic front, the company has approved the transfer of its District platform’s technology stack to its wholly owned subsidiary, Wasteland Entertainment Private Limited. The deal, valued at Rs 24.19 crore, will be completed in cash and is expected to close by May 1, 2026, along with the transition of select employees. The move is aimed at consolidating its entertainment and ticketing operations under a focused entity.
From a regulatory standpoint, statutory auditors Deloitte Haskins & Sells issued an unmodified opinion on the financial results. However, they flagged an ongoing show cause notice related to GST on delivery charges, which the company continues to contest, citing a strong legal position.
With robust revenue growth and ongoing structural tweaks, Eternal is clearly sharpening its playbook as it expands beyond its core into a broader consumer services ecosystem.
