Business
Herbalife India and IIT Madras just opened the country's first plant cell fermentation center in Chennai.
The goal? To make sustainable, plant-based health products and help turn cool lab research into real-world solutions.
The center brings together students, researchers, startups, and industry pros to push plant-based innovation forward.
Center supports Atmanirbhar Bharat goals
This new hub supports national efforts like Atmanirbhar Bharat by boosting homegrown innovation and cutting down on imports.
With high-tech equipment for research and startup incubation, it's set to help India lead in eco-friendly manufacturing.
The launch also sparked conversations about growing the herbal product market (and tackling regulatory hurdles) right here at home.
