Transforming India’s Culinary Outlook: An Ideal Dream of Mahesh Sivashanmugam and Properdiett

As the largest democracy in the world, India is not only the land of tasty delights but also a reflection of the deep-rooted culture and tradition. Apart from being a tool of sustenance, a visionary foodie, Mahesh Sivashanmugam, challenges the existing behaviour of Indians on their plate. His innovation, Properdiett, needless to say, is not just a brand but a potential trendsetter towards healthier and more nutritious eating habits for millions of Indians.

Properdiett is born!

Culturally, Indians have a lifelong parent-child bond, and Mahesh Sivashanmugam’s personal pilgrimage began, a mission with his parents as the devotional destination to enable them to cope with their cardiovascular and diabetic ailments.
He took it as a hobby to develop specialised diets for his parents to aid in their recovery from their diseases. It soon transformed into a project of passion, encompassing more in the future and evolving into the brand Properdiett. Mahesh Sivashanmugam’s commitment to address broader health concerns through an innovative dietary resolution was nothing less than a real transition from personal aspirations to showcase the experimentation to a global brand.

Dealing with India’s Nutritional Challenges

The birth of Properdiett comes at a crucial time when India is grappling with significant variations in dietary practices. As Indian traditional diet primarily depends on rice and wheat, leading to frequent nutritional deficiencies among the population, particularly in terms of protein intake. Mahesh Sivashanmugam’s revolutionary approach is not only to create new recipes but also to develop strategies that would by default incorporate whole grains and legumes into everyday meals without compromising on flavour.

Product development and innovation

A spectacular innovation from the house of Properdiett is its breakfast cereal. Unlike the conventional choices that primarily use corn and wheat flakes, Mahesh Sivashanmugam incorporates nutrient-rich whole grains like Bajra (pearl millet) and Ragi (finger millet), while to address the protein deficiencies, which are often overlooked in a typical breakfast plate, the inclusion of dals (lentils) can suffice, resulting in a more balanced nutritional profile, enabled by thoughtful creativity, which in turn would cater to the energy needs of the young, active generation.

Additionally, an innovative approach to boost protein intake is the pioneer product made from sprouted legumes, is a high-protein chocolate drink.
It also offers a healthier alternative to sugar-laden beverages which are at their peak of popularity among this generation of youth. Properdiett’s commitment to combine nutrition with appeal, making healthier choices more accessible and enjoyable is demonstrated through these innovative menu options for the kitchen.

Properdiett, the science behind the brand

Mahesh Sivashanmugam emphasizes the importance of complex carbohydrates over simple ones to address issues like weight gain, which reflects an idea, that the product innovation is the result of his deep rooted approach of nutritional science. His focus on tryptophan, an amino acid which is found in abundance in ragi, demonstrates his understanding of nutrition’s role in mental health, stress reduction, and sleep quality. Likewise, the demonstration of his holistic approach to health, considering aspects like immune function and even hair density showcases his emphasis on nitrate-rich foods for their conversion to nitric oxide in the body.

Futuristic aspirations and market potentials

In the online kitchen sector, Properdiett places itself at the pole position of a rapidly expanding industry as it boasts a market size of 255 million USD, and with the future projections indicating a threefold increase in the forthcoming years.

His vision extends beyond mere product development and aims to broadly collaborate with banks, conglomerates, corporate brands, educators, FMCG companies, IT companies, online traders, and various industrial sectors.

The Indian traditional mind-set of relying on staple grains like rice and wheat poses a hindrance to penetrative market strategy, while the resistance to changes in the food habits could pose initial hurdles. However, as there is a growing awareness of health issues related to conventional diets, it has presented a significant opportunity for Properdiett in multiple ways, i.e. to establish itself as a leader in nutritional education and in product innovation as well.

The Way Forward

Since inception, as Properdiett has moved head from its initial development phase to actively engaging itself in the market, the success would likely to be dependent on the effectiveness of the marketing strategies, the brand would adopt, and the quality of consumer education provided simultaneously. The brand’s emphasis on whole grains, legumes, and innovative cooking methods gels well with the global trend towards healthier, more sustainable dietary behaviour of the consumers.
