"There's Light At The End Of The Tunnel."
All the statistics convinced Mr. J.M. Joshi to stop manufacturing products with Betel Nut as the primary ingredient. But he, being the ‘Gutkha King’ himself, can’t just turn a blind eye to the fact that consuming Gutkha, Supari, Pan Masala has now turned into an addiction for countless consumers, and it will not be an easy task to suddenly ask them to quit without the presence of an alternative. The master blender he is, he put all his expertise, resources, and investment in finding an alternative to Gutkha and Pan Masala.
This thought gave rise to a revolutionary idea, an innovation of its kind – SANTOOR SADA MASALA.
