Mumbai, Maharashtra [India]: Zissto, owned by VinZillion Edibles Pvt Ltd is a brand which offers a range of authentic ready-to-cook sauces. The acceptance of Zissto started from a local store and society stores that supported the company extensively. A lot of other retailers have also come forward and shown interest in their product portfolio. From local gourmet stores to retail giants like Reliance, Haiko and Dorabjee’s, all started with repeat orders. The company also flourished in the HORECA segment with tie-ups with a few restaurants and caterers.
Zissto sauces is committed to its business of offering people ease and speed in their cooking through its product portfolio which has close to 14 variants namely, Makhani, Chettinad, Malvani, Pizza Pasta, Handi, Bhuna Masala, Pav Bhaji, Bengali, Chole and Hariyali.

The product can be used in several ways and can be customised as per the need of every individual member in the family.
“Onions, tomatoes and spices are consumed by Indians daily which form the major quotient of the ingredients. Hence, I decided to come up with a product that should have nutritional benefits of these ingredients and give a taste of home-cooked food. Zissto sauces are made from farm ingredients and have no artificial flavours or colours used in its making. Also, the preservatives used in the manufacturing process are minimal, keeping the nutritional value of the product intact. Apparently, Zissto ready-to-cook sauces would help cut down time spent in the kitchen drastically by 75 percent, helping you make your favourite dishes instantly. We have plans for other product categories including chutneys, masalas etc. which we intend to develop under the VinZillion umbrella,said Mr. Kanhai Porecha, Founder of ZISSTO.
