Kanta generates revenue through three streams: bulk ingredient sales, custom fragrance formulation services, and private label / white label supply. Distribution is direct B2B via the Delhi sales office and global export operations using sea, air, and courier (DHL/FedEx) logistics. The company markets through its website, SEO-optimized blog content, and Instagram, emphasizing its 60-year legacy, in-house farms, and quality certifications to build trust with B2B buyers worldwide.
