11. MAKING WAVES IN THE SPORTS & WELLNESS NUTRITION WORLD: AN INTERVIEW WITH STEADFAST NUTRITION’S VISIONARY LEADER, MR AMAN PURI In an exclusive interview with Entrepreneur One Magazine, Mr Aman Puri the founder of Steadfast Nutrition, provides valuable insights into the journey and vision of the company. As a trailblazer in the wellness and sports nutrition sector, Mr Aman Puri sheds light on the distinctive features of Steadfast Nutrition, the challenges faced, and the strategic decisions that have propelled the brand's growth.

12. Q4. How are you different from people working in a similar domain? Q6. How are new immersive technologies making a positive impact on enterprises? And what new technologies are you using in your organization? The primary difference between Steadfast Nutrition and other brands is the type of packaging and our concern for people’s health. We were the first brand in the nutraceutical sector to launch our supplements in single-serving sachets, making them markedly different from the box supplements offered by other brands. These are not products that are only meant for short-term use but can be had for a lifetime and by people from all walks of life. We are also gender and sports-neutral. Immersive experiences, enhance customer engagement, and is useful in advertising campaigns and Enterprises can use this technology to interact with customers and build brand awareness and loyalty, increasing revenues in the long run. Immersive technology can also be used for employee training, enhancing their skills and productivity, and improving their performance. technology can help improve customer product demonstrations. We like to keep ourselves updated with the latest market trends. Both at the product development and product quality assessment stage. We partner with companies and labs that use the latest state-of-the-art technologies to give us the best of results. Q5. What is the goal of your company, and how are you planning to achieve it? I aim to make Steadfast a household name for supplements and renal super specialty medicines by ensuring a top-notch, research-backed product portfolio. In the coming years, we see ourselves as integrating with national health policies to improve healthcare in India and enhance the quality of lives of our people. Q7. What are you looking forward to accomplishing the most in 2024? We plan to innovate more, further increase our brand reach and stature in the market, and establish ourselves as a research-based company which will give us stability and growth, and build our reputation. We plan to expand our footprint across India by increasing store presence and focusing more on marketing and E-Commerce in the coming year. We aim to make Steadfast the No 1 choice of athletes by providing them with top-quality, organ-friendly supplements that give them an edge in their training and drive them towards record-breaking performances. Steadfast Nutrition aims to solve India’s problem of protein deficiency and make the country protein-efficient by 2040. We also envision making India the world’s sports capital by 2050. We have worked towards our first goal by launching 12 unique protein formulations to fill gaps in the availability of good quality nutrition and undertaking social cause media campaigns with a wide reach and impact, educating people about the importance of a protein-rich diet and good nutrition. Q8. What are the new trends you see in the industry today? The new trends in sports nutrition and nutraceuticals are supplements of different formats (gels, bars, effervescent, gummies, and ready-to-drink products), plant extracts, and functional foods. Also significant is the shift towards natural ingredients, including herbal performance, decrease workout-induced inflammation, and improve endurance. The popularity of herbal extracts is rising due to the restored consumers’ faith in traditional remedies as answers to modern-age problems. The demand for plant-based protein supplements is growing steadily. Steadfast Nutrition has launched creatine, which is usually available in the market either as a powder or tablet, in effervescent form, and carnitine, which is usually available as a powder, in liquid form. Our Multivitamin is a 100% vegetarian ingredient and provides omega-3s obtained from flaxseeds rather than fish. In 2023, we also launched Ashwagandha - a traditional adaptogenic herb renowned for its stress-relieving properties.

Being Proudly Indian, we will continue to make India self-reliant in sports and wellness nutrition supplements and a global manufacturing hub. 12 | Entrepreneur One | April’24

13. Q9. What challenges did you have to overcome to get here today? Q13. What are the new strategies you have adopted for your business? The biggest challenge I faced was stereotypes and ignorance about the use of supplements. Removing skepticism among people becomes an uphill task in the nutraceutical industry. People have to be sensitized and made aware of why supplements are important, which comes with the challenges of time, cost, and resources. We have a consumer-centric approach as our business strategy and we imbibe with the latest technologies and software including AI to come up with the best possible solutions for our business. We do intensive market research and plan the product portfolio accordingly. Since our approach is consumer-centric, so we strategize around different platforms that reach the masses, including E- Commerce marketplaces. Q10. What does success look like to you? Success would be our products becoming a staple in every Indian’s health and fitness routine. For me, success accrues from receiving positive feedback from our customers and improving people’s quality of life - be it an athlete who has been able to improve his performance after taking a supplement, an individual who has fulfilled an unmet health need and can lead a happier life with our nutraceutical product, or a patient with chronic kidney disease who can manage his health condition with our medicines. Q14. What are some of your future endeavours? We intend to increase our national footprint and also envision being a global brand in the coming years with the agenda of making lives better through our world-class products. Q15. What is the best advice you can give to our readers? Healthcare has been one of the most critical sectors. However, we realized its importance only during COVID-19 times that the importance of healthcare was unmatchable. At the same time, it is one of the most hostile businesses due to rising competition. We must value the efforts to improve the lives of healthcare workers since they contribute so much to the development of the country. Q11. As a leader of your organization, what important decisions do you make for the company? As a leader of the organization, I’m a part of every decision made in the organization which mainly emphasizes product development and business strategy. The most important decision I make is around setting the strategic direction for our growth and transformation agenda and the medium and long-term ways to achieve it. I firmly believe that to grow, every company must adapt to changing market trends, consumer preferences, product innovations, and technology disruptions - my most important decisions revolve around these and are taken with the ultimate objective of developing the best quality and safest products that satisfy consumers and help us expand our footprint. Q12. How do you encourage people working in your organization? I ensure that hard work is very necessary to survive and sustain and people are motivated to be honest, loyal, and dedicated towards their job. I ensure our performers are motivated. I ensure everyone in my organization feels valued and heard and create an inspiring environment for employees. I encourage two-way feedback and express appreciation for individual and team efforts and also give my employees opportunities to connect with industry experts. April’24 | Entrepreneur One | 13
