Our latest study with @CSIR_IHBT on protein quality and bioavailability was launched at CSIR Science Centre, amongst researchers, academics, industry, and nutrition practitioners, who discussed pathways for adoption and commercialisation of plant-based smart proteins. (1/3)
Dr. @sdonempudi emphasised strengthening industry-academia partnership through consortia and co-development models. Dr. Sudesh Kumar Yadav emphasised collaboration to identify research gaps, while Dr. Shantanu Das discussed protein quality for building a healthy population. (2/3)
Dr. Ravikrishna Chebolu set the stage for the roundtable, where industry reps welcomed the move to science-backed product development. Experts from @WFP, @GAINalliance, and others called for further health-impact studies and regional pilots for public nutrition programmes. (3/3)
We were excited to support @NiftemHaryana's Smart Protein Project host India's first Hack the Fork edition, which leveraged AI-driven innovation to tackle real-world challenges in the alternative protein sector!
▶️National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management, Kundli (NIFTEM-K) hosted India’s First AI × Food Tech Hackathon, ‘Hack the Fork’
👉 India’s first AI × Food Tech Hackathon focused on leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI)
▶️The event aimed to bring together young innovators, researchers and technology enthusiasts to explore AI-driven solutions for sustainable food system
▶️ The challenge focused on harnessing Artificial Intelligence to advance the alternative protein industry, with applications spanning plant-based food innovation, fermentation technologies and broader food systems

📣 In collaboration with @CSIR_IHBT, our landmark study examining the protein quality and bioavailability of indigenous crop-based ingredients and commercially available plant-based meat products in India is now out: gfi-india.org/resource/prote… 💥
To launch our study on the protein bioavailability of indigenous crop ingredients and plant-based meat, @CSIR_IHBT & GFI India are convening a closed-door stakeholder consultation to share findings and discuss how nutritional quality can scale plant-based smart protein adoption.
On #WorldFoodDay, we're asking: what if feeding 10 billion people didn’t require us to grow more, but rather lose less?
Explores how smart protein innovation allows us make better use of our resources while expanding access to diverse and nutritious food: go.pardot.com/webmail/968373…
Team GFI India joined students, researchers & industry professionals at the Food Bioprocessing & Smart Protein Symposium 2026 at @gnamity for discussions on the evolving smart protein landscape, industry opportunities & the role of young scientific talent in shaping the sector.
🎤 Aakashraj Bhople spoke about the future of the smart protein industry and emerging career opportunities for students. He also joined smart protein entrepreneurs for the Protein Unplugged panel discussion.
🎤 Chaitanya Chilukuri served as a mentor and judge for Hack the Protein Future, a student innovation challenge organised by the Amity Smart Protein Project in collaboration with @humaneworldind.
