The State Plate

The founders of The State Plate are Muskaan Sancheti and Raghav Jhawar, both alumni of Shri Ram College of Commerce in Delhi, having graduated last year. Raghav is from Kolkata, and Muskaan is from Bangalore, both aged 22. Before this venture, they worked in management consulting jobs, and both graduated with a 98.5% score. Sharktankindiaclub Muskaan Sancheti (Co-founder & CEO) is the strategic and operational leader — a management consultant turned entrepreneur who identified in her own experience of missing Bengaluru's specific regional foods while studying and working in Delhi the core insight that became The State Plate's mission. Raghav Jhawar (Co-founder) brings the Kolkata perspective — the specific flavours, sweets, and snacks that define his hometown and that are impossible to find authentically anywhere else. His background in management consulting gave him the analytical framework to evaluate the market opportunity that Muskaan's personal experience had surfaced.

The State Plate is a D2C regional food discovery and delivery platform — connecting Indian consumers with authentic, state-specific food products (snacks, sweets, pickles, spices, staples, and beverages) that are culturally and geographically unique to their state of origin, curated from verified local producers and manufacturers, and delivered pan-India — solving the universal problem of migrants, nostalgic food-lovers, and curious food explorers who cannot access authentic regional foods outside their home states.
