Over the last few years, people have taken a keen interest in plant based vegan lifestyle. According to data from Google AdWords, searches related to the vegan lifestyle shot up by 47 per cent in India last year. Given the increased availability of vegan products in the Indian market, we’re sure that a plant-based lifestyle will be the next big thing in India. In this article, we will discuss the reasons behind the growth of Indian Veganism.
Last year during the lockdown imposed because of the COVID-19 outbreak, many cases of abuse against animals came forward. Also, due to the lockdown people were automatically forced to adopt a plant based diet. Followed by the series of events, India saw growth in veganism as people learned about the benefits and advantages of following a plant based lifestyle.
It is expected that in the coming years, Indian veganism will become a big deal. Along with many other foreign countries, India has also become a major spot for the vegan lifestyle. This shouldn’t be a surprise for anyone since veganism has been a part of India’s culture from ancient times. Many Indian religions like the Buddhists and the Jains have been following veganism for a very long time. However, the youth of the country is also trending towards a vegan lifestyle now.
Since the population of the country has started taking an interest in plant based lifestyles, it's apparent that more business opportunities will be created. Many industries are already thriving in the market of vegan products. India’s mock meat industry is expected to reach 1 billion in the next five years. The veganism market has so much business potential that many big brands and companies are launching their own range of vegan Indian food. For an instance, restaurants and cafes like Nuage Patisserie (Bengaluru) and Rose Café (Delhi) have launched their vegan menus.
A Plant based diet offers multiple health benefits and this has been backed by experts. Eating plant food products will enhance your overall health drastically. A person following a vegan diet plan is more likely to have better heart health compared to a person eating an animal products-based diet. Also, it is believed that a vegan person is less likely to have cancer. Aside from preventing diseases like cancer, plant based lifestyle also helps improve bone health, blood sugar levels and cardiovascular health.
Over the last few years, many horrid cases about animal cruelty and exploitation have been exposed leading to people making animal-friendly choices which eventually led to the growth of veganism in India. Many organizations and animal rights activists have successfully shed some light on how animals have been abused and tortured for human needs and entertainment. Now that people are aware of this situation, they’re switching to plant based lifestyle to reduce and prevent cruelty against animals.
