Sanjaya’s Voice in Media

India’s nutraceutical sector is poised for transformative growth, with the market expected to exceed US$100 billion by 2047. Achieving this potential will require stronger regulations, robust innovation, and greater consumer awareness. Mr. Sanjaya Mariwala, Executive Chairman and Managing Director of OmniActive Health Technologies, emphasises that strategic collaboration between government and industry players will be key to building a sustainable and competitive nutraceutical ecosystem.

Mr. Sanjaya Mariwala highlights that India’s recent GST reforms—exempting consultations, diagnostics, and telemedicine—mark a pivotal shift towards affordable, accessible healthcare. By reducing tax burdens on nutraceuticals, the government is positioning preventive nutrition as a mainstream practice. However, he notes, to truly transform healthcare, India must invest in workforce skilling, infrastructure, and trust-building. The future of Indian healthcare lies in integrating digital health, preventive care, and evidence-based wellness models.
