New Delhi: Rohan Mirchandani, co-founder of Epigamia, one of India’s leading Greek yogurt brands, passed away at the age of 42 due to cardiac arrest. Drums Food International, the parent company of Epigamia, confirmed the news.
“We at the Epigamia family are deeply saddened by this loss. Rohan was our guide, friend, and leader. We remain steadfast in our determination to carry forward his dream with strength and passion. His vision and values will continue to guide us as we work together to honor the foundation he built and ensure his dream thrives,” Drums Food stated in an official announcement.
The company also shared that the day-to-day operations of Epigamia will now be managed by senior leaders Ankur Goyal (COO and founding team member) and Uday Thakkar (co-founder and director). Rohan’s family, including Raj Mirchandani, along with key investors Verlinvest and DSG Consumer Partners, are fully supporting the company’s board of directors in this transition.
Ankur Goyal and Uday Thakkar reiterated, “Rohan was our guide, friend, and leader. We are committed to carrying forward his vision.”
A graduate of NYU Stern and Wharton School, Mirchandani co-founded Drums Food International in 2013. Under his leadership, the company evolved from its initial Hokey Pokey ice cream line into Epigamia, now available in over 20,000 retail stores across 30 cities.
The company plans to expand into the Middle East by 2025-26, continuing its growth trajectory.
Mirchandani often spoke about his inspiration to innovate in India’s FMCG sector, which he credited to a lecture he attended during business school. His ambitions for Epigamia included increasing its revenue to ₹250 crore by FY25 and strengthening the brand’s presence in fast-moving retail channels.READ THIS :Saudi Arabia Discovers Lithium Deposits in Oil Fields: A New Economic Frontier
