Cannarma raises undisclosed money from Zero to One Fund at pre-money Valuation of INR 17 crore (USD 2.04 million) to diversify hemp product line

Founded by Rohit Chauhan and Keshav Agarwal in August 2022 to provide therapeutic values of medicinal properties of cannabis which were neglected in world since long, Cannarma is one of India’s most recognized and highly regarded Medical Cannabis/Hemp brands, operating in a market with a total addressable size of over $146.4 Billion. The company is taking the prime mover advantage when the whole world, including India, is shifting to Alternate Medicine and Natural Products.

Speaking on the fund raise, Rohit Chauhan and Keshav Agarwal, Founders, said, “We are delighted to receive this funding from Zero to One Fund which will enable us to expand our net level of growth in the country and prepare ourselves for global expansion next year.”

Praveen Kaushik, Director of Zero To One Fund, said, “The investment in Cannarma shows our commitment to back ideas which are not only disruptive but also with sustainable future profits. As the world gears up towards alternative medicines, returning to human knowledge that has been ignored by science for centuries, the horizon of treatment using cannabis phytocannabinoids is growing wider and wider. The Cannabis plant, one among the five sacred plants in Ayurveda known as “Vijaya”, is having deep therapeutic values and had been used in healing chronic illness in olden times. The time is not far when Cannabis will attain its past glory and will be healing the world again, thanks to startups like Cannarma.”

The Government of Himachal Pradesh is working very hard to ensure a responsible implementation of policy regarding Medicinal Cannabis and Industrial Hemp Cultivation. Cannarma is working with Himachal Pradesh government authorities in India. The policy on hemp cultivation for medicinal, industrial, and scientific would pave the way for utilizing the medicinal properties of cannabis to treat patients, besides raising revenue for the State from the products made of hemp (cannabis).  

Cannarma is in the making to close a big gap in India in Cannabis Ayurveda (as compared to over a dozen brands globally with a market capitalization of at least $200 million for any individual brand)
