Subjects
What he speaks on
Sea buckthorn, properly explained
The botany, the chemistry, the Ladakh supply chain, and how to distinguish a genuine product from a label with a berry printed on it.
High-altitude botanicals and their processing
Preserving the nutrient profile of wild Himalayan fruit through harvest and manufacture — the subject of his conference papers.
Building a category from zero
Creating an industry that did not exist: the first plant, certification, pre-clinical trials, and twenty years of patient commercialisation.
Enterprise at altitude
What a manufacturing base in Ladakh means for the families who harvest the crop, and how a wild berry became an income.
