Ex

D2C Consumer (beverages)

Ex is a new-age, ready-to-drink protein beverage built for India’s fast, aesthetic, health-conscious generation. While most protein options still feel clinical or bodybuilder-coded, Ex delivers 20–22g of clean protein with no added sugar or preservatives in bold, indulgent flavours like Kashmiri Laal and Matcha Almond. Packaged in sleek aluminium cans, it’s designed to fit seamlessly into daily life, from gym bags to Blinkit deliveries. Ex isn’t just a drink, it’s a vibe, and a bold reimagination of how protein should look, taste, and feel in modern India.
