Category Leader - Functional Packaged Foods

About the Opportunity

Protein Chef is one of the most exciting consumer brands in India today. We're the leader in Functional Food brands, and India's 2nd most followed health food brand — built to make protein and functional nutrition part of everyday Indian meals.

We've single handedly created the category of High-Protein Breads for breakfast in India, and we're now building out several more such defining categories in the Indian food space — across Snacks, Cookies, and Flours. Each of these represents genuine white space in Indian food, and leading one of them means shaping how millions of Indians eat, not just capturing existing demand.

We're backed by Rainmatter, one of the most respected names in India, alongside Mount Judy Ventures. We've grown more than 3x in the past 15 months, and we're looking to further accelerate this momentum as we expand across Quick Commerce, eCommerce, and beyond.

We're looking for individual Category Leaders to build out and own each of these categories end-to-end — from strategy to P&L; to team.



This role, Category Leader for Functional Packaged Foods, will report to the CBO and be part of the core leadership team shaping how Protein Chef defines the next generation of Indian food categories.
