The event gathered leading representatives from PETA India, GFI India, CASMB, Brinc, YODA India, India Animal Fund, among others.


Kamalnayan Tibrewal, founder and CEO of Biokraft Foods, said: “We are beyond thrilled to host this landmark event and introduce cultivated chicken meat to India. This is not just a milestone for Biokraft Foods but a leap forward for sustainable food innovation in the country."


"The overwhelmingly positive feedback we received fuels our commitment to redefine how meat is produced. We are working closely with the Indian regulatory body, FSSAI, and are optimistic about commercializing our product by next year. We’re excited to lead this space and create a future where technology and tradition meet for a better planet.”


The event featured cultivated chicken meat produced using 3D bioprinting technology to replicate the taste and texture of conventional meat.



Nilesh Lele, president of CASMB and strategic advisor at Biokraft Foods, added: “Biokraft Foods is at the forefront of cultivated meat innovation, and this event underscores their potential to revolutionise the industry. I’m confident that Biokraft will not only lead in this space but also put India on the global map for sustainable food technology. This is just the beginning.”


According to the company, Biokraft Foods plans more tasting events 'to expand external validation and reach a broader audience'. These events will allow consumers and industry experts to try cultivated meat and offer feedback to improve the product.
