Hemp in India

What Hemp in India does

Hemp in India is a privately held, founder-owned hemp products company headquartered in New Delhi, founded in 2019 by CEO Jaspreet Singh. The company manufactures and distributes a diversified portfolio of industrial hemp-derived products spanning four categories: hemp foods (hearts, whole seeds, cold-pressed hemp seed oil, hemp protein powder), cosmetics and personal care (moisturizing scrub, moisturizing cream, hand wash), wellness and apparel, and industrial inputs (hemp fiber, hemp hurds for hempcrete construction, hemp graphene). Core technology centers on organic, sustainable cultivation of low-THC (below 0.3%) industrial hemp via farmer partnerships concentrated in the Uttarakhand region, combined with downstream processing for food, cosmetic, textile, and construction applications.

The business model is dual-channel. The primary channel is direct-to-consumer e-commerce through hempinindia.com, where unit-priced consumer SKUs start at approximately $1.00 USD for personal-care items, supported by content-led organic acquisition via an educational blog and active social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The secondary channel is enquiry-based B2B supply of hemp raw materials (seeds, fiber, hurds) to pharmaceutical, Ayurvedic (AYUSH-licensed), textile, and construction-material customers. Revenue streams combine unit-priced D2C sales with transaction-based B2B bulk supply and licensing of licensed industrial hemp cultivation, all within India's NDPS Act and FSSAI regulatory framework; the November 2021 FSSAI recognition of hemp seed products as food was a material unlock.

Operationally the company is small (11-50 employees), entirely founder-funded with no disclosed external institutional capital, no patents or certifications on file, and no named institutional customers. The value proposition emphasizes regulatory compliance, organic cultivation, farmer empowerment, and sustainability outcomes (low-water, pesticide-free, carbon-sequestering cultivation).

Direct peers

• Nutiva: US-based organic superfood brand offering hemp seeds, hemp protein, and hemp oil alongside other plant-based nutrition products. Comparable in DTC channel mix, organic/clean-label positioning, and supplement-oriented customer base.
• Manitoba Harvest: Canadian hemp food brand (now part of Tilray) selling hemp hearts, oil, protein powder, and seeds globally. Closest comparable on consumer hemp foods with a similar ingredient-product catalog and brand-led positioning.
• Hemp Foods Australia: Australia's largest hemp food manufacturer, producing hemp seeds, protein powder, and oil for retail and wholesale. Comparable product portfolio and B2B/wholesale distribution model targeting health-conscious consumers.
• Charlotte's Web: US-listed hemp-derived CBD wellness brand selling tinctures, topicals, and capsules. Comparable in the CBD/wellness slice of the catalog and in the strategic challenge of building a consumer brand around hemp-derived wellness ingredients.
• CV Sciences: US-based consumer hemp CBD brand with both retail/DTC and B2B ingredient divisions. Comparable on the dual consumer-products plus bulk hemp-ingredient distribution model.
• Bombay Hemp Company (BOHECO): Mumbai-based Indian hemp company cultivating industrial hemp and selling hemp food, textiles, and body care products domestically. Most directly comparable peer given shared India-centric model, multi-category product mix, and farmer partnership model.
• Elixinol: Global hemp-derived CBD company selling wellness and skincare products. Comparable on the hemp-cosmetic and wellness category overlap and on navigating cross-jurisdictional hemp regulation.

Broad incumbents

• Aurora Cannabis: Global cannabis operator with hemp-derived consumer and medical product lines. Comparable only at the broadest level — operates a much larger regulated-cannabis infrastructure rather than a hemp-specialist consumer brand.
• Canopy Growth: Major Canadian cannabis and hemp wellness company with consumer CBD and hemp products globally. Comparable in hemp-derived wellness but operates across the much broader regulated cannabis value chain.
• Tilray Brands: Large multinational cannabis and hemp operator (parent of Manitoba Harvest). Comparable as a broad incumbent with hemp food manufacturing capacity and global distribution, but operates at materially greater scale and across regulated cannabis categories.
