I recently spoke at the Plant Based Foods Summit by Plant Based Foods Industry Association (PBFIA) in Delhi and it was great to see the impact created by the event each year.

I had an engaging panel discussion on "Omni-Channel Dynamics in Plant-Based Foods Market Development," with amazing co-panellists Abhay Rangan Co-Founder of Nourish You India, Romil Ratra CEO of Plantaway Foods and Aditya Bagri CEO of . The panel was fantastically moderated by India’s OG vegan entrepreneur Abhishek Sinha Co-Founder of GoodDot

I emphasized how leveraging strategies isn't merely about gathering consumer data but about using touchpoints to create consumer demand, especially in emerging categories.

Insights from my fellow panelists underscored the importance of offering reasonably priced products where taste, nomenclature, and awareness play pivotal roles. Despite the immense potential in the sector, companies often face capital constraints, necessitating collective effort to drive growth. India's burgeoning economy presents a fertile ground for the expansion of plant-based food products.

I extend my congratulations to the organizers, Sanjay Sethi and the entire team for their brilliant work and for consistently elevating the summit's impact year after year. Thank you for the facilitation as well - we at Vegan First are proud to be a founding member of the association. The companies and organisations that are spearheading the development of this category are creating history by providing alternatives to animal products and have our full support.

Looking ahead, I’m excited for the Vegan India Conference (www.veganindiaconference) on July 6-7 in Mumbai. It promises to be another milestone event, urging individuals and brands to reimagine health, food, fashion, technology, animal advocacy through a sustainable and plant-based lens.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Going is truly easy today. Here are the top four I always recommend someone who’s trying to quit dairy:

👉 Fall in love with alternatives instead of resisting that dairy based foods you love. When I truly started enjoying my pizzas with cashew based cheese, I didn’t miss dairy at all. I’d do everything to spice them up and enhance the flavours to my liking. And eventually, even the smell of dairy based cheese put me off.

👉 Experiment! I can’t stress on this enough. You might find a huge taste difference between two oat milk brands or you might just want to make it fresh at home. If you never try, you never know. So don’t get disheartened if you don’t find the perfect match in the first go. You might have to kiss a few frogs to find the prince. Everyone has a different palate- find what suits you.

👉 It’s not just the product. The genuis is in using it the right way. After trying out hundreds of products and being vegan for almost a decade now, I can say this for certain. It’s rare that a single product would work well in all . Your favourite oat milk might not give you the flavour of peanut-based curd or the thickness of coconut-based ice cream. So learn how to use tplant-based products the right way.

👉 Craving dairy again? Watch a video on where your milk comes from. Check out documentaries like ‘Maa ka doodh’ on YouTube. The truth behind the will reinforce your decision to quit it forever.
