We started with a simple belief:
Indian food is not
the problem.
About Caddy
For decades, Indians were told their food was inadequate. Too many carbs. Too little protein.
Not enough of whatever the latest supplement was selling. We never believed that.
In 2015, we set out to prove it — by building the most comprehensive Indian food and nutrition database ever made. We called the app Bon Happetee. Over the years, more than 100,000 Indians used it to track their meals, understand their food, and lose weight without abandoning their thalis, their dals, or their rotis.
Together, they logged over 6 million meals and lost more than 50,000 kg.
Not by eating like someone else. By finally understanding what they were already eating.

Bon Happetee (2015)
Bon Happetee is now Caddy.
The app has a new name and a sharper focus. But the foundation — the data, the philosophy, the deep respect for how Indians actually eat — is exactly the same.
Caddy is India's smartest weight loss companion — built for Indians, powered by a decade of nutrition data, with support for GLP-1 users. It combines our decade of Indian nutrition data with AI meal tracking and clinical support for people using weight loss medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic. Because whether you're eating your way to better health or navigating a GLP-1 journey, the basics still matter: eat enough protein, track what you're actually eating, and don't let anyone tell you your food isn't good enough
The Database
India's most comprehensive food and nutrition data. Trusted by the country's leading healthcare brands.
The Bon Happetee nutrition database is the engine behind Caddy — and one of India's most trusted nutritional data assets.
Built over a decade from real Indian meals, real eating patterns, and over 6 million meal logs, it covers:
15,000+
Popular Indian foods with 99.3% coverage of everyday meals
5,000+
Indian packaged foods
15,000+
Groceries and raw ingredients
Regional cuisine coverage
All major Indian states
Disease-tagged foods
For conditions including diabetes, high cholesterol, IBS, and obesity
Macronutrient and micronutrient values calibrated for Indian cooking methods and portion sizes
Unlike Western nutrition databases retrofitted for Indian food, ours was built from scratch for the way Indians actually cook, eat, and measure — in katoris, ladles, and pieces, not cups and ounces.
The database is trusted by leading names in Indian healthcare and health tech including Swiggy, Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, Wellthy Therapeutics, Alpha Coach, and Cadila Healthcare — and has powered over 100 successful projects across diagnostic apps, condition management platforms, and weight loss products.
For developers and health tech teams: the Bon Happetee database and API are available at bonhappetee.com.
