Founder Speaks-        

“As time passes, the awareness and acceptability of cannabis extract products will rise and create a permanent space within the Wellness, Ayurvedic and perhaps Pharmaceutical industries. While we do not expect the same rate of growth as we witnessed in the USA or Canada in the last five years, we believe the Indian market is at 1% of its actual potential. The next 3-5 years are going to be crucial and exciting for this domain, and will warrant the attention of all big institutions and VCs alike.”
