And this company identified the growing need for high-quality, ready-to-use ingredients that can help chefs focus on creativity rather than basic prep work. This is where Sunbay's, from the stable of Food Services India Pvt Ltd, steps in. By offering ready-to-use boiled pulses and premium pastes, it enables chefs to reduce prep time by up to 70-80 percent, improve service turnaround, and maintain a consistent taste experience across locations – all without compromising on nutrition or authenticity.

Speaking to The Statesman, Ajay Mariwala, Managing Director (photo), Food Service India Pvt. Ltd, says that their goal is to empower professional kitchens with the tools they need to keep up with demand while staying true to their culinary vision.

What prompted Food Service India to launch this new range under the Sunbay brand?

A: Food Service India Pvt. Ltd. has been a trusted name in the B2B food solutions space for over two decades. With a strong pan-India presence, we cater to over 5,000 institutional kitchens and have an extensive distribution network reaching 250+ cities, serving a wide spectrum of customers – from QSR chains and fine dining restaurants to cloud kitchens, caterers, and hotels.

India is the largest producer and consumer of pulses, yet there's a growing disconnect between traditional preparation methods and the needs of modern kitchens. On the consumer side, there's a rising demand for easy, nutritious protein sources amid increasingly busy lifestyles. Pulses remain a primary source of plant-based protein, but their lengthy prep processes often deter usage in high-volume settings.
