Namrata HempCo. has been an active and prominent member of the Hemp Industry in India since 2016. The enterprise dives deep into research, manufacturing, and product development, with a mission to acquire excellence and emerge as an industry leader in all three sectors. Following extensive and relentless research, Namrata HempCo. launched its first consumer brands; Satliva & Satliva Foods, in 2017, and 2021 respectively.
‘Satliva,’ their personal care subsidiary, adheres to a zero inventory process. The pure Hemp Seed Oil used in their personal care range is extracted freshly every single day, using an ingenious cold-press machine developed by the team in-house to exclusively extract high-grade Hemp Seed Oil. Following the extraction; the products are made, packed, and dispatched the very same day. The company prides itself on consistently developing products that are 100% natural, contain no additives, artificial fragrances, alcohol, or aqua. Satliva chooses to follow a ‘minimal ingredient and maximum effect’ concept; hence, their creams and oils have a short-lived shelf life of 6 months, and their soaps have a shelf life of 4 months.
Innovation is embedded deep into the soul of Namrata HempCo. leading them to their next innovative creation with their subsidiary; Satliva Foods. Observing the need to include and normalise hemp based nutrition in the Indian diet; together, they launched India’s first ‘Instant Hemp Dosa Batter.’ The batter is made freshly from scratch every day, without the addition of any preservatives. The team chooses to grind the batter using an authentic grindstone, in order to hold on to their traditional values, and also the nutritional values from the vegan, gluten-free dosa batter. In the following weeks; Satliva Foods is expected to launch 3 new products: Hemp Seed Oil, Hemp Protein Powder, and an energy boosting Hemp Berry Trail Mix.
Their innovative streak does not end here; previously, Hemp Fibres would have to be hand processed using a time-consuming and tedious method, whereas now, they are easily processed due to India’s first decorticator, used to process long length hemp fibres, developed by Namrata HempCo. and installed in the state of Uttarakhand. Their ingenuity further led them towards the creation of their patented technology, which enables them to convert raw hemp fibres into usable textile fibres, using bio-waste that is entirely free from harmful chemicals and toxins. They continually strive to reduce their carbon footprint, and become a 100% eco-friendly company
The enterprise also works intimately with farmers, and the farmer producing organisations (FPO’s), and is effectively working with Uttarakhand farmer groups to launch a hemp agriculture program in the state during the approaching monsoon season. Additionally, it is introducing smart farming technologies to ensure standardization and traceability of high quality hemp raw materials. They provide a 100% buy-back guarantee to the farmers they work with, in order to ensure consistent work opportunities and betterment in the lives of farmers.
The enterprise has engaged in mutually beneficial partnerships with various state horticultural and agricultural universities, to conduct comprehensive research with regards to cannabis landraces, in order to develop viable strains for seed, fibre, and medicinal crops. Namrata HempCo. is biodiversity board complaint, which allows them to conduct research and development without compromising on the safety of the environment.
At its core, Namrata HempCo. is a company striving to make the world a better place with its high standards for sustainability in terms of the environment, quality in terms of its products, and ingenuity in terms of its progress towards a better tomorrow.
