Nationally recognised. Rashtriya Ratna Samman 2026.
In 2026, GRASA was honoured with India's most prestigious startup recognition — the Rashtriya Ratna Samman — in the category of Emerging Health Tech & Nutrition Innovation Startup of the Year.
Presented by Ms. Kangana Ranaut, MP, this national award recognises GRASA's pioneering work in making food-based metabolic intervention accessible, guided, and measurable for every Indian.
India doesn't have a medicine problem. It has a food problem.
"I started GRASA because I kept seeing the same thing — people managing conditions for years with growing lists of medicines, and nobody asking them what they were eating. Not once."
— Founder, GRASA
The Food Problem
India's traditional diet — built around millets, lentils, vegetables, fermented preparations, and minimal refined carbohydrates — was remarkably well-suited to Indian metabolic biology. The shift over the last 50 years toward refined wheat (maida), white rice, and processed snacks coincided precisely with the explosion of lifestyle diseases. The food changed. The body's response changed with it.
The Science Converges
Decades of research on traditional Indian grains, fermentation, and metabolic outcomes now supports what our grandmothers knew intuitively. GRASA sits at the intersection of ancient food wisdom and modern clinical nutrition — taking what we know and making it available, palatable, and personalised for the modern Indian body.
Delivery Infrastructure Arrives
Fresh, specially prepared food — stone-ground, soaked, sun-dried — can now reach someone's door anywhere in Delhi NCR. The logistics that once made a food-based clinical programme impossible are no longer a barrier. Right now, in Delhi NCR, one person at a time, one family at a time.
National Recognition — 2026
Awarded the Rashtriya Ratna Samman 2026 as India's Emerging Health Tech & Nutrition Innovation Startup of the Year — presented by Ms. Kangana Ranaut, MP — validating GRASA's mission to make food-first intervention mainstream across Indian healthcare.

GRASA is a food programme, not a medicine. Individual results will vary. This page is intended to help you understand why food-based intervention can produce real metabolic outcomes — not to make medical claims.
