“Sustainability, in today's times, should be viewed not as a luxury but as a basic need by every brand that is looking to flourish responsibly, because without a present that rests solidly on the cornerstones of sustainable practices, our future will exist only as a faint shadow of what we imagined it to be.”

Dr. Sudha Anand - Director Marketing
