Animal-free protein maker Zero Cow Factory raises $4-M from Green Frontier Capital, GVFL, others
Surat-based Zero Cow Factory, a biotechnology company producing animal-free protein and dairy products, has raised USD 4 million (INR 32 crore) in a seed round co-led by Green Frontier Capital, GVFL and Pi Ventures, with participation from Pascual Innoventures, the investment arm of Spanish dairy group Calidad Pascual. Zero Cow Factory was founded in 2021 by Sohil Kapadia and Parini Kapadia. It makes an alternative to cow's milk protein that replicates its taste, texture, nutrient profile, and appearance. The company has developed a patented technology to produce dairy proteins such as casein & whey, without any animal being involved. The funds will be used to accelerate R&D efforts, scale up production capacity, and obtain regulatory approvals to hit the market.
