Drums Food International Pvt Ltd, which owns the healthy eating brand known for its flavoured yoghurt and juices, in a statement requested the media and the public to respect the privacy of Mirchandani’s family during this difficult time.
The senior leadership of Epigamia led by COO and founding member Ankur Goel and co-founder and director Uday Thakker continues to steer the company’s day-to-day operations with the full support of the board of directors, including Mirchandani’s family, Raj Mirchandani, Verlinvest, and DSG Consumer Partners, Drums Food International said in the statement.

Rohan’s vision and values will continue to guide us as we work together to honor the foundation he built and ensure that his dream continues to flourish,” Mr Goel and Mr Thakker said in a joint statement.
The Epigamia board said Mirchandani was not only a visionary leader, but also an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
