Clinical Evidence
Case Studies in Enterprise NPD
Case Study 01 — QSR Scale
Stabilizing Menu Margins via Plant-Based Reformulation
A global QSR chain faced margin erosion on its core menu. Sukra architected a plant-based protein substitution framework that maintained taste parity across 300+ locations.
Outcome: 18% reduction in commodity exposure. Full Jain-compliance achieved. Zero negative consumer feedback at launch.
Case Study 02 — Industrial R&D
Shelf-Life & Flavor Retention in Freeze-Dried Matrices
An FMCG brand encountered accelerated flavor degradation in its freeze-dried seasoning line. Chef Rishika diagnosed the formulation gap and engineered a stabilized spice matrix.
Outcome: 24-month shelf-life extended to 36 months. Flavor integrity maintained at 94% across humidity and temperature stress tests.
