How it works

From hello to healthier.

A consultative healthcare journey — not a checkout funnel. Your dietitian understands you first; the right program and pricing come after.

i.

Book your ₹199 consult

Your journey starts with a 30-minute video consultation. Sign up securely to book your slot.

ii.

Quick assessment

Share your goals, metrics, food preferences and history — so your dietitian comes prepared. Upload any lab reports you have.

iii.

Meet your dietitian

A certified MSc/RD dietitian understands your goals, health and lifestyle in a one-on-one video consult.

iv.

Personalised recommendation

Your dietitian recommends the right program and explains everything — including pricing — before you decide. No obligation.

v.

Your plan & ongoing care

Your dietitian builds your personalised plan; you track progress in My Diet with weekly follow-ups and adjustments.

Pricing is always discussed after your consultation — because every recommendation is personalised. No hidden charges, and no obligation to continue.

Continuous care

Your dietitian stays with you.

Real transformation happens through continuous support — not one consultation. You're not buying a plan; you're getting a professional who walks the whole way with you.

Weekly follow-ups

Your dietitian checks your progress every single week — adjusting before small slips become setbacks.

  • Catch small issues before they slow your progress.
  • Stay consistent even during busy or stressful weeks.
  • See clear next steps after every review.

Plan adjustments

Every body changes. Your nutrition changes with it — your plan is refined as your results, schedule and life evolve.

  • Your plan evolves with travel, work, and routines.
  • Progress plateaus are addressed before frustration builds.
  • Meals stay realistic as your schedule changes.

WhatsApp support

Ask questions whenever you need guidance — a quick check before you order, travel, or try something new.

  • Get quick answers before eating out or ordering.
  • Travel, festivals, and cravings feel easier to manage.
  • Feel supported between calls, not left guessing.

Accountability

Someone keeps you consistent. Not motivated for a week? Your dietitian notices — and helps you get back on track.

  • Miss a week, and someone helps you restart.
  • Check-ins keep momentum high when motivation drops.
  • Consistency feels easier when someone is in your corner.

Habit coaching

Learn sustainable eating instead of temporary dieting — the skills that keep results long after the program ends.

  • Build routines that still work during real life.
  • Learn flexible eating without guilt or overthinking.

Progress reviews

Regular reviews of weight, body measurements, energy, adherence and challenges — so progress is measured, not guessed.

  • Track trends across weight, energy, hunger, and sleep.
  • Celebrate wins early and correct issues sooner.

A team behind you

Your dietitian leads your care, with our wider team and specialists supporting them — so you always have the right guidance when you need it.

Why Annam

Built around you, not the other way round.

Most diets fail because they ignore real life. We start with your body, your kitchen-time and your taste — then handle the rest.

Real dietitians, not bots

Every plan is reviewed and signed off by an MSc / RD-certified nutritionist. You talk to a human — not a chatbot.

Built around your life

Your plan fits your routine, your budget, and the regional food you already love — and adapts as you progress.

Ongoing dietitian support

Regular check-ins and plan adjustments as your body and goals change — your dietitian stays with you, not just day one.

Built around what you love

Tell us your 3 favourite dishes. Your dietitian builds them in. Eating healthy stops feeling like punishment.

Regional Indian cuisines

8 regional cuisines — North & South Indian, Bengali, Gujarati, Maharashtrian, Punjabi, Multi-cuisine, Indo-Continental. The food you actually grew up eating.

Always within reach

Stuck on day 12? WhatsApp your dietitian or book a video consult. Real humans, fast replies.

Human-first

Designed by humans.
Supported by technology.

Most nutrition apps hand you an algorithm. Annam doesn't. Your diet is the work of a qualified dietitian who knows your name, your history and your goals.

Plans created by people

Annam does not use AI to generate your diet. Only certified dietitians create and approve every customer plan.

Reviewed, never automated

No instant AI-generated diets. No automated nutrition advice. Every recommendation is reviewed by a qualified human before it reaches you.

Technology stays behind the scenes

We use technology to organise your information, schedule your follow-ups and keep your records secure — so your dietitian can focus on you.

This is what makes Annam different from app-first platforms — your care is human, and it stays that way.

Choosing the right program

Every health journey is different. The right program depends on your goals, lifestyle, medical history, and the level of support you need. During your consultation, your dietitian understands your needs, recommends the most suitable program, and explains everything that's included before you make any decision. There are no hidden charges, and you're under no obligation to continue after the consultation — the goal is to help you choose the right journey, not the most expensive one.

₹199 dietitian consult · adjusted against any program you purchase within 7 days.

No pressure

Membership designed around real life.

Life isn't linear, and your membership shouldn't be either. Everything is built to remove the anxiety of committing.

Pause anytime

Travelling? On vacation? Work got busy? Pause your membership and resume whenever you're ready — your journey waits for you.

Upgrade anytime

Need more support? Move up to a longer program whenever it suits you — no penalty, no friction.

Continue monthly

Continue after your selected duration — only if both you and your dietitian feel it's still helping. Never a silent auto-renewal.

Your progress never disappears

Your reports, history, plans and progress stay available in My Diet — your health record is yours to keep.

No hidden charges

Everything is explained clearly before you pay anything. The price you agree on with your dietitian is the price — full stop.

Take a break, not a reset

Take time off when you need to. Your plan can be paused and resumed without starting over.

Built around you

Your schedule, preferences and lifestyle aren't changed to fit the program — the program adapts to you.

The story behind Annam

"We don't ban biryani. We ban one-size-fits-all. India deserves a way to eat well — on India's terms."

Read the full story ↓

Why I built Annam.

A note from the founder

It was 2023. I was 23, living in a paying-guest accommodation in Bengaluru, working a nightshift in an operational role.

The PG provided food. But the quality was bad. Really bad — oily, repetitive, served at the wrong temperatures, sometimes from food that had been sitting around for too long. You can't expect a healthy body when this is what you're eating every day. And given my lifestyle — sleep at sunrise, work through the night — it mattered more than ever.

Whenever I tried to take diet seriously — order something nutritious, find healthier options — the costs would shoot up. Eating well in a metro city, on a metro salary, while working irregular hours felt impossible. Homely food was missing from my life entirely. Months of daily outside food from random places eventually made me fall sick.

I wasn't able to find proper food. I started missing home — really missing it. And then I realised: there are millions of people like me. Students. Working professionals. Nightshift workers. People who moved to cities chasing opportunity, and lost their health in the process. We weren't bad at eating — we just didn't have the systems.

So I decided to build the answer I wish I'd had — an organisation that provides homely food in a healthy way, so the well-being of people like us is finally taken care of.

My partner is finishing her food-science programme, watching how diet platforms work everywhere from RX-grade clinical programs to commercial meal kits. We know Indian food, with its incredible regional diversity, deserves the same level of care. Annam means food, sustenance, life — in Tamil and Sanskrit, the same word. It's the most sacred form of life itself. That's what we want to deliver, every single day.

Why this matters

India eats well. But not for itself.

Too many urban Indians live with a diet-related condition, while the food they're told to eat feels foreign or unaffordable. Annam makes eating well feel natural, regional, and human — built by a real dietitian around the food you love.

Certified dietitians
Every plan is designed by a qualified MSc/RD dietitian — never an algorithm alone.
Evidence-based
Grounded in clinical nutrition science, tailored to your body and goals.
Real regional food
Built around the home-style Indian food you already know and enjoy.
Questions

Frequently asked questions.

Everything you might want to know before you start. Still unsure? book a ₹199 consult and ask your dietitian directly.

How does an Annam membership work?
You start with a free assessment, then a ₹199 video consultation. Your dietitian recommends a program (3, 6 or 12 months), explains everything, and only then — if you choose to continue — do you begin. You get a personalised plan plus weekly follow-ups and adjustments throughout.
Why don't you show prices on the website?
Nutrition isn't one-size-fits-all, so neither is the right program for you. Your dietitian shares clear, honest pricing during your consultation, based on your goals and the level of support you need — with no hidden charges and no obligation to continue.
What's included in the ₹199 consultation?
A 30-minute video call covering your goals, a review of your health assessment and any reports, your lifestyle, and a clear recommendation of the right program. The ₹199 is adjusted against any program you purchase within 7 days.
Do you use AI to create my diet plan?
No. Annam never uses AI to generate customer diet plans. Every plan is created, reviewed and approved by a qualified human dietitian (MSc / RD). We use technology only behind the scenes — to organise information, schedule follow-ups and keep your records secure.
How do the weekly follow-ups work?
Your dietitian checks your progress every week, answers questions over WhatsApp, and adjusts your plan as your body, schedule and goals change. You're never left to figure it out alone.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes. Travelling, on vacation, or just need a break? You can pause your membership and resume whenever you're ready — your plans, history and progress stay safe in My Diet.
Can I cancel, and what about refunds?
There's no obligation to continue after your consultation. The ₹199 consult is covered by our satisfaction policy, and your dietitian explains all terms clearly before you pay for any program. Longer programs are structured commitments, not silent auto-renewals.
Do you deliver meals or send a chef?
Not yet. At launch, Annam offers personalised diet plans only. Meal delivery and chef-at-home are on our roadmap as future services — we'll launch them only once they meet our quality standards.

No. Annam never uses AI to generate customer diet plans. Every plan is created, reviewed and approved by a qualified human dietitian (MSc / RD). We use technology only behind the scenes — to organise information, schedule follow-ups and keep your records secure.
Can Annam help with PCOS / PCOD?
Yes. Our dietitians build PCOS-focused plans around insulin sensitivity, balanced meals and sustainable habits — using regional Indian food you already eat. Bring any recent reports to your consultation so your dietitian can personalise accordingly. (This is nutrition guidance and supports, but does not replace, your doctor's care.)
Can Annam help with diabetes or pre-diabetes?
Yes. Plans can be tailored for blood-sugar management — meal timing, carbohydrate quality and portion structure — in coordination with your medical treatment. Please continue any medication and check-ups with your doctor; our dietitians complement that care, they don't replace it.
Is the food vegetarian, and is it regional?
Your plan is built around your preferences — vegetarian, non-vegetarian, eggetarian, Jain, and regional cuisines (North Indian, South Indian, Bengali, Gujarati and more). The whole point is to work with the food you already love, not against it.
Do I get recipes?
Yes. Your plan includes personalised recipes and food guidance so you know exactly what to cook and how. Meal delivery and chef-at-home are future services — for now, you cook, and your dietitian guides you.
How do the weekly follow-ups work?
Your dietitian checks your progress every week, answers questions over WhatsApp, and adjusts your plan as your body, schedule and goals change. You're never left to figure it out alone.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes. Travelling, on vacation, or just need a break? You can pause your membership and resume whenever you're ready — your plans, history and progress stay safe in My Diet.
Can I cancel, and what about refunds?
There's no obligation to continue after your consultation. The ₹199 consult is covered by our satisfaction policy, and your dietitian explains all terms clearly before you pay for any program. Longer programs are structured commitments, not silent auto-renewals.
Do I need lab reports to start?
No — they're optional but helpful. If you have recent reports (lipid profile, HbA1c, thyroid, vitamin D/B12, etc.), sharing them helps your dietitian personalise faster. If not, your dietitian will advise whether any tests are worth doing.
Do you deliver meals or send a chef?
Not yet. At launch, Annam offers personalised diet plans only. Meal delivery and chef-at-home are on our roadmap as future services — we'll launch them only once they meet our quality standards.
Who are the dietitians?
Qualified nutrition professionals holding MSc / RD credentials. You work with a real human dietitian throughout — during your consult, in your plan, and in your weekly follow-ups.
How is my health data handled?
Your information is private and used only to personalise your care. Health records, reports and plans are kept secure and visible only to you and your assigned dietitian. See our Privacy page for details.

Customer stories are on the way. We're a new platform and would rather show you real results than invent them — verified stories will appear once our first beta members complete their programs. Until then: a qualified human dietitian, a plan built around your life, and weekly support.

Eco-packaging at cost

Bagasse boxes, paper sleeves, and Annam-branded labels — supplied at our negotiated wholesale rates.

No customer support, no rider coordination, no payment chase. Orders come to you via our app. You cook & dispatch.

Why we built this

Skilled cooks. Untapped income.

India has millions of women who cook brilliantly at home but have no path to monetise it. Annam exists to change that.

You already have the skill

The hardest part of running a kitchen is cooking food people love — and you've been doing that for years. We just bring the structure, customers, and certification.

Start from home

You don't need a commercial space. Most of our kitchen partners start in their own home kitchen with a few hygiene upgrades. No rent, no commute, no bosses.

We bring the customers

You don't market, advertise, or fight Swiggy/Zomato fees. Our app sends you orders matched to your cuisine and capacity — every day.

Not a franchise

No royalty, no upfront brand fee, no exclusivity. You keep your kitchen, your name, your independence. We share revenue, not control.

Approved kitchens only

Every kitchen is reviewed and approved by management before going live. We protect quality — both for customers and for the brand of our partner kitchens.

Real income, weekly payouts

Earn ₹40k–₹1.2L+ per month based on orders. Paid every Friday to your bank account or UPI. Transparent dashboard, no hidden cuts.

How it will work · Launching 2027

Here's the six-step journey we're designing for kitchen partners. Roughly four to six weeks from approval to going live.

Who this is for

A programme built for India's home cooks.

We welcome all applicants. But we built this programme thinking specifically about home-makers and women entrepreneurs — because cooking is something India's mothers, grandmothers, and homemakers have always done at world-class level, without ever being paid for it.

  • Home-makers wanting financial independence

    Earn meaningfully without leaving home or family responsibilities

  • 🌱
    Women entrepreneurs starting their first business

    Lower-risk path than opening a restaurant — no rent for the cuisine, no marketing

  • 🏆
    Skilled home cooks praised by family & friends

    If people regularly tell you "you should sell this" — this is the answer

  • 👵
    Retired chefs / second-career seekers

    Decades of culinary skill, looking for a flexible income source

  • Existing tiffin / catering operators

    Convert your existing business into a steadier, branded operation

Common questions

Things people ask us.

How is this different from a franchise?+

A franchise charges an upfront brand fee (₹15–50 lakh typically) plus ongoing royalty (5–15% of revenue) and binds you to strict operational rules. Our programme has zero brand fee, zero royalty — only a transparent revenue share on each order we send you. You keep your independence, your kitchen name, and can leave anytime with 30 days notice.

What's the revenue share?+

Annam takes 28–35% of each order's value, depending on cuisine complexity and city. The rest goes to you to cover ingredients, packaging, gas, electricity, and your earnings. We disclose the exact percentage during the discovery call. As you scale, the share trends to the lower end of that range — better margins for committed kitchens.

What if I don't have ₹2 lakh to invest?+

We help you apply for Mudra loans (up to ₹10 lakh, low interest) and Stand-Up India loans (specifically for SC/ST/women entrepreneurs, up to ₹1 crore). Most kitchen-partners use a mix of personal savings + Mudra. Our team walks you through the paperwork.

Why does management approval matter?+

One bad kitchen can ruin Annam's reputation for thousands of customers. Our quality team reviews every kitchen — hygiene, equipment, recipe execution, packaging — before activation. No kitchen receives orders until management approval is granted. If something doesn't meet standards, we tell you exactly what to fix and re-audit free of charge.

Can men apply?+

Absolutely yes — our programme is open to everyone. We highlight the women-entrepreneur angle because India's home cooks are predominantly women whose talent is structurally undervalued, and we want to fix that. But the application process and economics are identical regardless of gender.

What cities are you in?+

Currently active: Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad. Launching in 2026: Chennai, Delhi NCR, Kolkata. If you're outside these cities, you can still apply — we'll add you to the waitlist and prioritise expansion based on demand.

How many hours a day do I need to work?+

Starter kitchens (30–60 meals/day): typically 4–5 hours, mostly during lunch and dinner prep windows. Pro kitchens (150+ meals/day): 7–9 hours with one or two helpers. You set your daily capacity in the vendor app — if you can only cook 30 meals on a given day, we won't send you 50.

Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 2026 · Effective from launch

Note: Annam is a new business preparing for launch. This Privacy Policy reflects our current commitments and practices. We're working with legal counsel to finalize it under India's DPDP Act 2023. Questions? Email hello@annam.life.

1. Who we are

Annam ("we", "us", "our") is a personalised Indian diet and meal-planning platform operated from Bengaluru, India. We connect customers with certified dietitians and Annam-certified cloud kitchens to deliver health-aligned regional Indian meals.

2. What information we collect

To deliver our service, we collect:

  • Identity: name, age, gender, email address, phone number, city.
  • Health & lifestyle: height, weight, activity level, dietary preferences, food allergies, medical conditions you share with your dietitian, goals (weight loss, fitness, diabetes management, etc.).
  • Food preferences: favourite cuisines, foods you can't give up, foods you avoid.
  • Service usage: plans you've subscribed to, meals delivered, dietitian consultation history, payment records.
  • Optional: lab test results if you choose to share them with your dietitian.
  • Technical: IP address, browser type, device info, cookies (for site functionality only — not advertising).

3. Why we collect it

  • To build your personalised diet plan and update it as you progress.
  • To share necessary information with your assigned dietitian and cloud kitchen partner so they can serve you.
  • To process payments and deliver meals.
  • To communicate with you about your plan, dietitian appointments, and service updates.
  • To improve our service, with all analytics done on anonymised data.
  • To meet legal obligations (tax, payment regulations).

4. Who we share it with

We share your information only with parties who help us deliver the service:

  • Your dietitian: sees your health, lifestyle, and goals — that's the entire point of our service.
  • Annam-certified cloud kitchens: receive your name, address, allergy info, and meal preferences — they need this to cook safely.
  • Payment processors: Razorpay or similar regulated Indian payment partners. We do not store your full card details.
  • Lab partners (Metropolis, Thyrocare, Dr. Lal PathLabs, etc.) only if you book a test through us. They handle the test under their own privacy policies.
  • Government authorities when required by Indian law.

We do not sell your data. We do not share it with advertisers. We do not use it for any marketing outside Annam's own communications.

5. How long we keep it

We keep your data for as long as you're an active customer plus seven years thereafter to meet Indian tax and accounting requirements. If you delete your account, your dietitian consult history and food plans are anonymised within 90 days.

6. Your rights

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act 2023, you have the right to:

  • Access the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correct any inaccurate information.
  • Request deletion of your account and data (subject to legal retention rules).
  • Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
  • File a complaint with the Data Protection Board of India.

To exercise any right, email us at hello@annam.life. We'll respond within 30 days.

7. Security

We use industry-standard encryption for data in transit (HTTPS) and at rest. Payments are processed through PCI-DSS certified partners. We do not store full payment card details. Access to your health data inside Annam is limited to your dietitian and the operations team that needs it to deliver your service.

8. Cookies

We use only essential cookies that keep you signed in and remember your plan preferences. We don't use tracking cookies for advertising. You can disable cookies in your browser, but the site may not function fully.

9. Children

Annam is intended for adults aged 18 and above. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe we have, contact us and we'll delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as we grow and finalize our practices with legal counsel. We'll notify active customers by email of any material changes 30 days before they take effect.

Terms of Service

Last updated: May 2026 · Effective from launch

Note: Annam is preparing for launch. These Terms reflect our current commitments and are being finalized with legal counsel. By using our service, you accept these Terms in their current form. Questions? Email hello@annam.life.

1. About these Terms

These Terms of Service govern your use of Annam — our website, mobile applications, dietitian consult service, meal subscription plans, and partner cloud-kitchen network. By creating an account, paying for a consult, or subscribing to any plan, you agree to these Terms.

2. Who can use Annam

You must be at least 18 years old to use Annam. By using the service you confirm you can enter into a binding contract under Indian law. We may refuse service to anyone for any lawful reason.

3. The service we provide

Annam delivers three things:

  • Dietitian consultations: 30-minute paid sessions (₹199) with a certified Annam dietitian who builds your personalised plan.
  • Subscription plans: 3-month, 6-month, or 12-month diet programmes with chef-cooked, delivered, or recipe-only options.
  • Lab test recommendations: we may recommend tests from partner labs but receive no commission. You book and pay the lab directly.

4. Not medical advice

This is important. Annam dietitians provide guidance on diet, lifestyle, and food choices based on the information you share. Our service is not a substitute for medical care. If you have a diagnosed health condition (diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorder, food allergies, pregnancy, etc.), you must inform your dietitian, continue care with your own doctor, and not make medication or treatment changes based on our guidance. In an emergency, contact your local healthcare provider immediately.

5. Payments and refunds

Dietitian consultation (₹199): Paid at the time of booking. If you upgrade to a monthly plan within 30 days, the ₹199 is fully credited toward your first month's bill. If you don't subscribe, the ₹199 is non-refundable (it pays for the dietitian's time).

Subscription plans: Billed monthly in advance. You can cancel anytime; cancellations take effect at the end of your current paid billing month. We do not pro-rate or refund a billing month already paid for.

Refund eligibility: Full refund of an unused billing month if (a) Annam fails to deliver promised meals for 5+ days in that month, or (b) you have a documented medical reason that prevents you from continuing. Refunds are processed within 7 working days.

Failed deliveries: If a delivery fails due to our error, we'll re-deliver or credit your account for that meal.

6. Your responsibilities

  • Provide accurate and current health, dietary, and allergy information.
  • Inform your dietitian of any medical conditions, medications, or pregnancy.
  • Inform Annam immediately if you experience any adverse reaction to a meal.
  • Use the service only for yourself; you may not transfer your subscription.
  • Treat your dietitian, our customer-support team, and partner kitchen staff with respect.

7. Food safety & allergies

All Annam-certified cloud kitchens are FSSAI-registered and audited by us. We take every reasonable measure to prevent cross-contamination and follow the dietary restrictions you list in your profile. However, we cannot guarantee a 100% allergen-free environment. If you have a severe allergy, you must declare it explicitly and consult your doctor before subscribing. Annam's liability for allergic reactions is limited as set out in clause 11.

8. Delivery

Meal delivery is currently available in select cities. We'll confirm serviceability before you subscribe. Delivery times are estimates and may be affected by weather, traffic, or local conditions. We don't deliver on declared public holidays unless specifically communicated.

9. Intellectual property

All content on Annam — recipes, meal plans, articles, branding, and software — is owned by us or licensed to us. You may use it for your personal benefit while subscribed. You may not copy, redistribute, or commercialize any of it without written permission.

10. Termination

You can close your account anytime by emailing hello@annam.life. We can suspend or terminate accounts for breach of these Terms, abuse of our team, fraud, or non-payment. On termination, any unused but pre-paid balance is refunded after deducting amounts owed.

11. Limitation of liability

Our total liability for any claim related to the service is limited to the amount you paid Annam in the three months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be excluded under Indian law (including liability for gross negligence or willful misconduct).

12. Changes to the service or Terms

We may update the service, pricing, or these Terms as our business evolves. Material changes will be notified by email 30 days in advance. Continued use of the service after the change date means you accept the updated Terms. If you don't accept, you can cancel without penalty.

13. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Any dispute will be resolved in the courts of Bengaluru, Karnataka. Before any litigation, both sides agree to attempt good-faith resolution by writing to hello@annam.life for at least 30 days.
