I've always been drawn to one fundamental question, what does the body truly need to thrive?That curiosity has shaped my entire career. From 7 years as a Research Scholar at the Institute of Chemical Technology, to teaching Pharmacognosy at D Y Patil University, and now leading Research & Product Development at Arelang Naturals, every step has deepened my conviction that science, when applied with intention, can genuinely transform health outcomes. At Arelang Naturals, I work at the exciting intersection of innovation and wellness. We build healthcare solutions in formats that are novel, bioavailable, and actually enjoyable to consume. Every day is about asking better questions, pushing the science further, and making sure what reaches the consumer is nothing short of extraordinary. One of our proudest milestones has been filing a patent for a robust solution that does exactly that supporting the body's natural realignment process in a meaningful, measurable way.I believe the future of healthcare is preventive, personalised, and plant-forward and nutraceuticals are at the heart of that shift. If you're working in formulation, clinical nutrition, functional food science, or nutraceutical innovation, I'd genuinely love to connect and exchange ideas.
