Horeca bdm

Company Description Toyo Kombucha is a sustainable beverage brand in India founded by two college friends, Akul and Vidit, who were inspired by their experiences with kombucha in London and Australia. The company focuses on offering zero-sugar kombucha as a healthy alternative in a market dominated by high-end, less health-focused drinks. Toyo Kombucha is committed to making kombucha accessible at a fair price so people can easily include it in their daily routines. By delivering kombucha in its purest form, the brand encourages individuals to move toward a better lifestyle, one fizzy glass of good bacteria at a time.
