Vegan India Conference’s third edition takes place on 6-7th July in Mumbai

Mumbai, India, April 23, 2024

Vegan First proudly announces the much-awaited third edition of the Vegan India Conference (VIC), set to take place on July 6th and 7th, 2024, at the esteemed Holiday Inn in Mumbai. With the tagline "Rethink Food, Fashion, and Beauty at India's largest Plant-Based Conference," this year's event promises to be a transformative experience for attendees passionate about fostering a sustainable, cruelty-free future.

VIC, an annual initiative by Vegan First, has emerged as a beacon of change in India's burgeoning plant-based ecosystem. Dedicated to addressing the critical need for alternatives in food, material, and technology, VIC 2024 aims to catalyze a paradigm shift towards a more compassionate and environmentally conscious society.

Palak Mehta, Founder of the Vegan India Conference, emphasizes the urgency of the conference's mission, stating,

Our food system is broken. It evinces a marked dysfunctionality. Approximately 40% of the grains produced are given to livestock instead of being consumed by humans. Every 60 seconds, humans slaughter 2-6 million animals worldwide. Furthermore, the substantial reliance on dairy in India has inadvertently contributed to a surge in leather production. Notably, animal agriculture is one of the leading causes of global warming. In light of these pressing concerns, there is an imperative need for the adoption of plant-based alternatives. The Vegan India Conference emerges as a pivotal initiative poised to spearhead this transformative socio-economic paradigm shift.
