Homegrown snacking brand Farmley is gearing up for a major leap this fiscal year, aiming to push its revenue to between Rs 600 and Rs 700 crore — almost double what it clocked last year.
Founded in 2017 by two IIT graduates, the Noida-based company closed FY 2024-25 with Rs 370 crore in revenue. Now, it’s betting on a wider presence both in stores and on digital shelves to hit its ambitious target.
“We’re scaling up aggressively across all platforms and expanding production to meet rising demand,” co-founder and CEO Akash Sharma said during a recent healthy snacking summit. He also revealed plans to pour Rs 40-50 crore into a new manufacturing unit near Noida, which should be up and running sometime next year. Profitability, he added, is firmly on the cards for this financial year.
Farmley’s lineup includes dry fruits, seeds, trail mixes, roasted snacks, and ready-to-eat options — all designed to be nutritious, accessible, and free from unnecessary additives.
According to a new consumer insights report shared by the brand, nearly 36% of those surveyed ranked roasted and flavored dry fruits as their go-to savory snack, while 19% picked makhana — a puffed lotus seed — as their favorite.
The data also highlighted a shift in consumer behavior: 55% said they prefer snacks that are clean-label and preservative-free, while 52% were drawn to resealable, eco-friendly packaging. Another 45% said they’re reaching more often for on-the-go snacks like dry fruit laddoos and compact energy bars.
