Maharashtra-based cookie in India brand Kivu – Kingdom of Good Food. Founded in 2019 by Dr. Minal Kabra and Vaibhav Dugar, Kivu claims to be the world’s only sun-baked vegan cookies food tech startup. “Kivu has a holistic approach towards health. Weaving the consumer, the producer, and the environment in a symbiotic relationship, we aim to empower rural women to bake our exclusive vegan and gluten-free cookies using specially designed solar ovens. This simple divergence from traditional factory-based manufacturing helps create a sustainable livelihood for rural women and prevents five grams of CO2 per cookie from being released into the atmosphere, as would otherwise have happened from traditional fuel-fired ovens,” explain the founders in a chat with YSWeekender.
