Biovalley Incubation Council and its international media partner NutraIngredients-Asia, part of William Reed, want to help add value to India’s nutritional industry.
Biovalley took initiative to launch Nutrify India 2020 to create a platform that converges the wisdom of different industry stake holders and evolve Responsible Nutrition.
The Indian economy is being positioned to be pegged at USD 10 trillion by 2030. With four-fold growth in next 10 years, is the Indian population geared up to take on the aggressive journey? India has evolved to be a nation where majority of deaths are caused by disproportionate nutrition and not accidents or other communicable diseases.  640 million people in India are calorific sufficient but malnourished, while 360 million are completely malnourished, while 150 million are over nourished and its slightly over 10 million which is highly health conscious and practices healthy living and supplements itself with various nutritionals. Majority of Indian population faces two different nutritional needs. One segment needs nutritional and lifestyle correction and supplementation to balance their nutritional status. The other segment needs elemental nutritionals to cover their basic nutritional needs.
•      With growing awareness among Indian consumers on preventive health, nutritionals and national programs like Fit India, poshan abhiyan etc, are helping the Indian nutritionals industry to grow by 10% each year, to now stand at of USD 8 billion. The rapid growth potentially opens loop holes to ineffective nutritionals (ingredients or formulations) entering the market leading to sub-health outcomes affecting consumers and healthcare practitioners trust quotient on the nutritional science.
•      There is a need for converging collective wisdom of researchers, medical KoLs, Manufacturers, Marketeers, start-ups, regulators and servicing industry to evolve effective business pathways that leads to growth of Responsible Nutrition that delivers health outcome driven ingredients / formulations, and regulated consumer communication.
