Changing <strong>the</strong> <strong>Startup</strong> <strong>World</strong><br />

Due to various socio-economic changes in<br />

India, <strong>the</strong> society is dealing with all adverse<br />

consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. <strong>The</strong>ir<br />

traditional oily + spicy food coupled with<br />

minimal to zero activity has led India in<br />

becoming <strong>the</strong> Diabetes and Cardio-Vascular<br />

Disease capital of <strong>the</strong> <strong>World</strong>. Economic<br />

development has also brought with its magnified<br />

stress levels and no time to de-stress, to make<br />

things worse. Healthcare costs have also<br />

concurrently risen astronomically. <strong>The</strong>y felt that <strong>the</strong><br />

time has come for Indians to focus on prevention of<br />

disease and subsequently improve <strong>the</strong> general quality<br />

of life.<br />

“We studied <strong>the</strong> patterns globally apart from <strong>the</strong><br />

customer survey in India to assess <strong>the</strong> need for <strong>the</strong> hour.<br />

Lack of awareness in <strong>the</strong> Indian population regarding<br />

preventive <strong>the</strong>rapies pushed us towards a model wherein<br />

we sell our Nutraceuticals and Cosmeceuticals through<br />

Doctor’s prescriptions. This will lead to a gradual<br />

percolation of information to <strong>the</strong> consumers and hence<br />

create awareness in <strong>the</strong> long run,” asserts Sandeep and<br />

Vinod.
