Beverage formulation and recipe development
Our own laboratory develops commercially viable, FSSAI-compliant beverage formulas, from the first prototype to a production-ready recipe that a manufacturing partner can reproduce at scale. You can engage us for the formula alone or as the first step of a private label or manufacturing project.
In-house lab
A beverage formulation consultant in India that works at production scale
A drink that tastes good in a 10 litre lab batch can behave very differently in a 10,000 litre production run. We formulate with the factory in mind: ingredient grades, carbonation, pH, heat treatment, packaging compatibility and cost, alongside taste.
Because the lab is ours, you get direct access to the people doing the work, quick iteration between tasting rounds, and a formula that belongs to you.
- Flavour profiling and taste matching against a benchmark
- Sweetener systems, including zero-sugar and natural options
- Stability and shelf-life planning
- FSSAI-aligned ingredients, additives and labelling
- Carbonation and can compatibility for canned drinks
- Cost optimisation to hit your target price
Pricing
What does formulation cost?
Formulation projects start from ₹50,000. The price depends on the type of drink, the number of flavours and how many tasting rounds you need. We quote in writing after a short brief, so you know the cost before you commit.
You can take formulation on its own, or add licensing, testing, labelling and production only when you need them. You pay only for the services you choose.
