About Kosha
What Kosha is
Kosha is the data layer for how India eats: clean, versioned data for apps, research and models. A recipe links to its ingredients, its packaged equivalents and the regions that cook it, through shared IDs, units and provenance fields.
What the data covers
Built on NIN IFCT 2017: 6,418 foods and dishes with 38 nutrients each, 27,904 packaged products re-read quarterly, 84,312 recipes in 14 languages across 36 states and UTs, 1,104 foods with CGM-measured glycaemic index and load, and 312 household measures weighed across regions. Releases are monthly and versioned.
How access works
Core is free under CC BY 4.0 with 1,000 common foods. Builder adds all six datasets over an API with a million calls a month, and Enterprise covers bulk exports and on-prem. API keys are provisioned from the waitlist at launch.
