Our mission is to rewrite the narrative about banana chips, offering consumers an authentic, high-quality, and reliable snacking option, said Manas Madhu, co-founder, Beyond Snack.

Beyond Snack has rapidly expanded its retail presence in Maharashtra and established a robust online footprint across significant marketplaces such as Amazon, Flipkart, Big Basket, Blinkit, Swiggy, and Zepto, enabling nationwide accessibility.
