1.5 Degree

Based in Delhi, India, 1.5 Degree is a food and beverage company that develops and produces plant-based, dairy-free consumer goods, specifically focusing on oat-based gelato and alternative milk beverages. The organization operates its own dedicated research and development laboratory alongside a specialized manufacturing facility, which was established in direct collaboration with the National Institute of Food Technology Entrepreneurship and Management (NIFTEM). Operating primarily within the alternative dairy and frozen dessert sectors, the company supplies its product lines to various institutional food-service operations rather than focusing exclusively on direct-to-consumer retail channels. The venture capital-backed enterprise has secured external funding from institutional investors, including 35North Ventures, to support its ongoing product formulation and commercial expansion efforts across the domestic market. 1.5 Degree was founded in 2018 by Anagh Goyal, Jasvinder Singh Kohli, Silky Agrawal, Vaishali Bhalchandra Inamdar, Vetha Anbuselvam Alexander Daniel, and Vedansh Goyal.
