849 Shibani Baluja: Founder & CEO of Lil’ Gourmets
Monday, 8 June, 2026
What if baby food actually prioritized vegetables first? On today’s episode, we welcome Shibani Baluja, Founder and CEO of Lil' Gourmets — a company rethinking how we feed the next generation. After more than a decade at Kraft Foods, Shibani walked away to build what she couldn’t find: fresh, veggie-first meals designed to support early nutrition and lifelong healthy habits. Now available nationwide in Whole Foods Market, Walmart, and more, Lil’ Gourmets is bringing globally inspired, organic meals to busy parents looking for better options. In this episode, Shibani shares her journey from corporate to founder, the research behind introducing veggies early, and what it takes to scale in grocery. If you’re building, scaling, or challenging a legacy category — this one’s for you. Tune in now on The Kara Goldin Show.
