With seven categories of products, Timios offers finger food, munchies, energy bars, breakfast cereal, biscuits, probiotic bites and much more. Each of these products are designed in suitable portions to provide the necessary nutrition. It claims to have over 250 orders per day.
Commenting on the announcement, Aswani Chaitanya, CEO and Co-Founder of Timios said,
“A lot of millennial parents today are extremely conscious about what their children consume as part of their healthy diet. This increasing awareness and shift towards healthy, natural and organic food choices for children have been the key reasons behind the success of our products. The response we have received so far has been overwhelming. With new investment, we will continue to develop more innovative products and expand our footprint.”
The customers can avail the Timios products through its website and via e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Bigbasket, Firstcry and Flipkart. The company also sells its products in over 350 offline stores (organic stores and kids/baby stores).
Pavan G Ranga, CEO, Rangsons Technologies said, “We believe this to be a unique category and the team has developed a very relevant product line to address the current need in the market. Timios has demonstrated impressive growth within a very short period of time. We truly believe that Timios is addressing a large unmet need in the category of healthy packaged snacks for children. With an experienced rich team and new innovative products, Timios has the potential to capture a significant share in this category.”
