Hemplanet

What Hemplanet does

Hemplanet is an India-based direct-to-consumer producer of hemp-derived food, body care, and lifestyle products, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Auroville, Tamil Nadu. The company sources organic hemp seeds and processes them into a broad catalog spanning food SKUs (cold-pressed hemp seed oil, hemp seed hearts, protein powder, gluten-free and regular hemp pasta, hemp flour, granola bars in multiple flavors, and toasted hemp seasonings in jaggery, rock salt, and chilli variants) and body care SKUs (soap bar, shampoo bar, body butter, lip balm, relief balm, tooth powder, and a bundled body care kit), plus a hemp-fiber purse. Core processing technology centers on cold-pressing hemp seed oil to preserve essential fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants, with downstream formulation into finished consumer goods. The company holds FSSAI approval recognizing hemp seeds and their derivatives as food in India.

Hemplanet monetizes through unit-priced direct online sales at INR 160-1,500 per product via www.hemplanet.in, supported by Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and PayPal payments and global shipping, complemented by a physical retail store at 1st Floor, Building 1, Reve Area, Auroville Main Road, and an email-based bulk/wholesale inquiry channel. The primary customer cohort is health-conscious consumers seeking plant-based protein, Omega-3/6 nutrition, gluten-free options, and natural personal care alternatives; secondary cohorts are wholesale buyers (wellness stores, retailers, corporate gifting) and international shoppers ordering via the global e-commerce site. Marketing relies on owned channels — website content, blog recipes, monthly email newsletter, and Instagram (@hemplanet_auroville) — supplemented by Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, and Google AdWords remarketing tags for retargeting.

The business is privately held, founder-owned, sub-10-employee, and operates without disclosed institutional capital, M&A activity, or formal leadership team in the public record. Its stated long-term ambition is to transition Auroville into a hemp-based economy encompassing local farming, manufacturing, and consumption, which signals future interest in vertical integration into industrial hemp cultivation rather than purely finished-goods retail.
