About Vegan First:
The plant based industry has been growing rapidly. In India itself the industry is valued at a market capitalization of 40 billion USD. Vegan First is at the helm of these innovations with content, commerce, events and solutions.
Incorporated in the year 2016, Vegan First is one of the pioneers of the plant-based movements in India. Our flagship event - Vegan India Conference encourages people to rethink food, fashion and technology through a plant-based lens. Our media provokes people to question an unconscious lifestyle.
There is a media bias today. The mainstream media does not do a good enough job of highlighting the flaws of animal agriculture and the price the planet is paying. Animal-based products are cruel, have a higher carbon footprint and a negative impact on our health - yet they are subsided and are marketed as healthy foods.
In it’s true sense, we’re change makers. We change the world - shifting consumer behavior, spotlighting alternatives, opportunities for ethical businesses, one story at a time. With our commerce-based solutions we assist our readers in making conscious choices.
We’re growing and we're looking for stalwarts to join us in our mission to create more impact! Are you someone who wants to see the end of animal cruelty? Do you want a fulfilling career where your skills are used to positively influence 97% of the world which is not vegan?
