PANI

Platform for Acceleration in Nutrition Innovation

Building the world's first validated nutritional supply chain - accelerating responsible nutrition from lab to global market.

About PANI

What is PANI?

India is at a strategic inflection point in shaping the future of global nutrition. Despite progress in food systems, the country still grapples with fragmented value chains, inconsistent product standards, and limited pathways to global market access for nutrition-focused innovations.

PANI is ONIC's flagship accelerator designed to build a validated nutritional supply chain - selecting only 25 startups per cohort to accelerate responsible nutrition products from validation to global markets. We build the economy around responsible nutrition, accelerate innovators, and provide them a global validated supply chain.

Only products that pass ONIC's rigorous AI-driven validation and certification framework are eligible - ensuring every product in the PANI ecosystem is scientifically validated, ethically certified, and globally traceable.
