The plant-based industry is at a nexus of climate change, cruelty free attitude towards animals and healthy-eating and is gaining momentum at a lightning-fast pace globally. Several companies have taken the world by storm by spearheading the plant-based movement and even getting listed on stock exchanges. With the demand for animal meat expected to rise with rising incomes in emerging Asian markets such as India - placing an enormous burden on the population from public health and environmental viewpoint - plant-based meats have the potential to lead in the food innovation space.
And venturing into the space of Plant-Based Meat, this celebrity couple; Genelia And Riteish has launched their plant-based venture - Imagine Meats. The plant-based brand offers ten carefully curated variants of ready-to-prepare mouth-watering plant-based meals for Indian taste buds. In the past five to six years with veganism going mainstream, looks like the days of heavy meaty affair on a table is soon gonna be replaced by some satisfying plant-based foods and alternative. The pandemic too taught a lot about looking at our backyard and relying on greens or even green waste that we could turn our kitchen into a sustainable one. The chunk of mindful consumers are now being aware of the side effects of animal-based diets and this has seen a paradigm shift in the consumption pattern. The brand sees products like nuggets, keema, biriyani, sheekh kebab and more.
In the words of Riteish “With a broad range of plant-based meats, it is the perfect solution for meat-lovers like me who find giving up animal meat quite a challenge. Rather than having to sacrifice their meat cravings during otherwise primarily vegetarian festivals, in lieu of one’s own personal values or the planet at large, Imagine Meats offers consumers a simple guilt-free switch to plant-based meat, which is just as tasty and juicy.”
The disruptive brand seeks to reimagine how the masses consume meat by providing equally juicy and succulent plant-based options.
