Indian cuisine is a treasure trove of bold flavours and diverse textures, offering an array of snacks that cater to various dietary needs. Whether you’re following a vegan or gluten-free lifestyle, there’s no need to compromise on taste. According to a 2023 report by Statista, the global gluten-free market is projected to reach $8.3 billion by 2026, with a growing demand for plant-based options. Similarly, the Indian vegan food market is expanding rapidly, expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.32% between 2023 and 2028.
At Omkar Snacks, we believe that everyone deserves to enjoy delicious, healthy, and satisfying treats without artificial additives or excessive oil. Our range of traditional Indian dry snacks is thoughtfully crafted to ensure authenticity while meeting modern dietary preferences.
