Given the challenging tasks faced by flavorists and perfumers in creating complex compositions to meet consumer demand, it is essential to establish world-class research and development facilities in this sector. The planned manufacturing plant for Ayurveda Churna will be a GMP certified facility approved by the State Drug Control Authority. The center will focus on "new age medicines" rather than traditional Ayurvedic items.
