‘A tectonic shift’

Vinay Bansal, Founder & CEO, Inflection Point Ventures, said, “While tea has been a universal and most preferred everyday antioxidant drink, the last few years have witnessed a tectonic shift in the consumer consumption behaviour globally. Consumers are now moving to organic and healthy tea beverages which are accompanied with goodness of taste and health benefits such as antioxidant, immunity booster, enhancement in skin, anti-aging benefit, boost in mental alertness and concentration and much more.”

Bansal added, “Consumers too are also willing to spend for an authentic cup of tea. Teamonk with their excellent product curation and innovation abilities have over 64 specialty tea variants and have created exactly what is needed in the market. The brand is all set to emerge as a leader in the specialty tea segment and IPV continues to support them in their endeavour to provide the best to tea consumers not only in India but also in the global market.”
