Founder Speaks

“There is incredible potential for growth of our sector. In the wake of the pandemic, we have seen unprecedented attention being given to nutrition and wellness. People’s habits have undergone a major transformation and even when the pandemic completely fades out, the change in lifestyles and preference for quality nutrition and wellness will remain. Sensing the growth, a lot of legacy brands as well as startups have entered the sector. This intense competition along with the humongous market size in India, will push the growth exponentially, offering plenty of growth space for brands with superior product quality.

A key factor where Plix differentiates itself from others is the ‘taste’. We have introduced world-class plant-based products that can be consumed on-the-go and taste great to the palate. Such quality-centric approach will ensure sustained growth in the short as well as long term for the sector.”
