“I believe that the Indian hemp industry has a favourable outlook as growing awareness of the benefits of hemp products drives acceptance - not only in India but globally.

Hemp is now becoming the king of superfoods and is expected to make a mark in the India market similar to the already existing billion dollar market in the world. The current first generation products that are manufactured by the company will become ingredients to second/third generation products like hemp milk, cookies, bread, cakes, pasta that are gluten free, soy free, dairy free and so on. Thus, the motive remains to get the expansion of the culture of hemp use among Indians and become the leader of hemp production in India. It is expected that the world cannabis market will reach over 100billion USD by 2028. India is expected to be a significant player in this industry due to its ancient association with the herb.
