Comments of the investors
Speaking about the potential of ayurvedic medicines, Paul Santos, Managing Partner, Wavemaker Partners, said, “Ayurvedic medicine is one of the world’s oldest holistic healing systems. It was developed more than 3,000 years ago in India. Ayurveda has provided relief and treatment for chronic conditions for thousands of years. However, it is plagued by non-standardized doctors and medicines”.
