MYPB stepped into the tank on Shark Tank India Season 5 Episode 8 – “Innovation Meets Investment” with a niche but growing category: peanut butter powder. The brand positioned itself as one of India’s early movers in this segment, targeting fitness enthusiasts, calorie-conscious consumers, and people looking for convenient protein options without the fat content of traditional peanut butter.
Peanut butter powder is essentially defatted peanut protein that can be mixed into smoothies, oats, shakes, or desserts. The founders framed it as a lifestyle product rather than just a pantry item — something aligned with modern fitness, weight management, and clean-eating trends.
