“The awareness, trust and confidence of the people in Ayurveda have only increased over the last few years,” said Dr Rohit Madhav Sane, MD & CEO, Vaidya Sane Ayurved Laboratories. 

“Around 60-70 per cent of Indians are already exposed to some form of Ayurveda treatments. With strong government support and IRDA amendment allowing insurance coverage for Ayurveda treatments coming in, the entire industry is poised for a strong growth going forward,” he added.
