Gayatri Chona - Co-founder, Phab
As a nutritionist, Gayatri Chona started out her food journey with one simple thought: what’s the point of having that damn cake if you can’t eat it? Driven by her belief that food should be a source of joy and nourishment, she has dedicated her career to creating innovative solutions that make healthy living accessible and enjoyable.
As the founder of Phab, a leading smart snacking brand, Gayatri has revolutionised the way we approach nutrition. Phab's range of protein-packed bars, granola, milkshakes, and powders combine exceptional taste with uncompromised nutritional value. Available in 22 cities across India, online and on quick commerce, Phab makes healthy choices both convenient and delicious.
Prior to launching Phab, she established Va'lens – Health Matters, a holistic health studio in Ahmedabad, where she provided diet counselling, antenatal care, and Lamaze classes. She has also worked with corporations to promote employee well-being and work-life balance.
In 2016, Gayatri co-founded Huber & Holly, an innovative ice cream brand with her husband Ankit Chona. Huber & Holly's 15 stores across six cities are known for their freshly churned, small-batch ice creams made with real ingredients, reflecting the same spirit of fun and authenticity that Gayatri brings to all her ventures.
Gayatri holds a Master's degree in Dietetics from the University of Sheffield, UK, and is a certified Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition. As a mother of two, she blends her scientific knowledge, entrepreneurial spirit, and personal experiences to create food that nourishes both the body and soul.
