How was Green Cure Wellness Started
In 2015, Mr. Suresh Garg was travelling to Germany on a business trip and suddenly suffered from a breathing issue and he could not find his inhaler which he generally carries with him and rushed to a pharmacy and asked for medicine for wheezing. He was given a herbal syrup. This really surprised him because in India, on his countless visits to asthma doctors, he has never heard of such a product. In India, only inhalers were available which have steroids in them. Plus these inhalers has several side effects too. This incident left Mr. Suresh with a thought to introduce such products in the Indian market.
Mr. Suresh Garg’s son Sanchit Garg, joined hands with father to make this dream a reality. Sanchit started ‘Green Cure Wellness’ to introduce world class herbal products in India. The founding members had to devote the initial 2.5 years in sourcing talent in Germany and procuring ingredients of highest quality. The startup was launched at Ayush expo in Pragati Maidan, and today ‘Green Cure Wellness’ is World’s first company to combine German Engineering with Indian Ayurveda.
“Our mission is to start a revolution in India where the customer ‘Turn the Label’. We want to start a movement where customers are aware of what goes inside their products and know the drawbacks of each. We want to touch 20 crore customers in the next three years and spread out message of healthy and safe products” says Green Cure Wellness founder Sanchit Garg explaining the company’s long term goals.
