Module 1
Fundamentals of Proteins
India's protein story is shifting fast from a fitness-category niche to a mainstream nutrition need. Nearly 3 in 4 Indians consume less protein than the recommended daily requirement, and the country's protein-based product market valued at over ₹44,000 crore in 2025 is projected to nearly quadruple over the next decade. This is creating a wide-open opportunity for entrepreneurs who can turn everyday food categories bakery, dairy, snacks, atta, ready-to-cook premixes into protein-enriched products. This course takes participants from the fundamentals of protein science to the business of building a protein-based food product covering ingredient selection, formulation and fortification, category-specific applications, manufacturing and scale-up, quality and regulatory compliance, and the costing and pricing decisions that make a protein product commercially viable. Participants will also work through an applied product idea across the course, moving from concept to a feasibility-tested, positioned product.
