Kama Ayurveda

Founded in Delhi in 2002, the four co-founders of Kama were inspired by the ancient science of Ayurveda. They understood its powers and sought to revive its fortunes with a desire to share their learning with the rest of the world. They created a beautiful collection of ayurvedic treatments, thus helping to preserve an effective form of wellness and the communities it supports. As a result, Kama launched with a range of ayurvedic treatments developed in partnership with the 100-year-old Arya Vaidya Pharmacy in Coimbatore. You can check out their services and products here.

Sova

SOVA is the brainchild of two women driven by passion and purpose. Vasu and Sneha addressed their issues of not being able to find any product in the Indian or international market that balanced both natural ingredients with safe science. The issue was solved by CI Gandhi who had fifty years of expertise in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, and Ayurveda. He became the backbone in bringing Vasu and Sneha’s vision to life and thus Sova was formed. Their products mainly specialize in beauty and grooming products which you can check out here.
