Jyoti Bharadwaj is the Founder of TeaFit, a Mumbai-based health beverage brand pioneering zero-sugar, unsweetened teas infused with Ayurvedic botanicals. Founded in 2021, TeaFit was inspired by her family’s history with diabetes and her own experience with gestational diabetes, which sparked her mission to create clean, functional beverages that help reduce sugar consumption in India.

An MBA graduate from the Indian School of Business, Jyoti left a successful corporate career to build a purpose-driven D2C brand focused on transparency, wellness, and innovation. Her appearance on Shark Tank India, where she secured an all-shark investment deal, brought national visibility to TeaFit and strengthened its position in India’s fast-growing health beverage market.

Today, she continues to champion mindful consumption, clean labels, and sustainable growth while inspiring more women to build mission-led businesses.

Shivam Hingorani is Founder and CEO of a cutting-edge nutrition brand reshaping the way India thinks about supplements. With a diploma in Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals and a background in film direction and advertising, he brings a rare mix of scientific understanding and creative storytelling to the world of nutrition.

Ace Blend began as a small passion project with just two people and a close-knit community of fitness enthusiasts has grown into an award-winning brand recognized for innovation and authenticity, with over five accolades and powerful partners such as a leading R&D firm and Fireside Ventures.

In just 2.5 years, Shivam has built Ace into a disruptive force with deep-science and global experts ensuring that the products are easy to use. It was born out of frustration with an industry filled with glossy packaging and hollow promises. Too many products were either packed with fillers or so clinical that they failed to connect with people. His answer was to create nutrition that is sharp, effective, transparent, and human.

Rooted in a legacy of cinema, grandson of Guinness World Record holder Jagdish Raaj and son of actress Anita Raaj, a pioneer in India’s fitness community, he carries forward a deep respect for performance, discipline, and storytelling. He infuses this heritage into Ace Blend, transforming science-backed health into culture-driven narratives that resonate with a global audience.

Shivam’s vision is to make Ace Blend a brand that helps people feel better every single day. Born in India, made for the world, its an endeavour to put India at the forefront of global nutrition.
