It's only when I understood that healthy food is going to be everyone’s daily requirement in the coming future. Starting from a 200 sq ft space inside a gym is where Flax was born, my vision is to be India’s answer to health food, ailment food backed with science & nutrition. With Flax, I am building a team where everyone associated with the brand can grow together.”
