In Conversation With Harish Singla, Country Sales Manager Foreverliving India Product
How is the wellness and healthcare industry working these days?
Healthcare has become one of India’s largest sector, both in terms of revenue and employment. The recent pandemic has emphasised the importance of the healthcare and wellness sector. The lifestyle behaviour of individuals towards health and nutrition has changed post pandemic. Consumers these days have started focusing more attention on preventive healthcare and holistic wellness. The effects of the pandemic on the industry continue to be extreme. The shifts in consumer behaviour, an acceleration of established trends, and the likely deep and lasting economic impact will potentially affect healthcare companies no less—and quite possibly more—than those in other sectors. Around the world, most of the people believe that COVID-19 will fundamentally change their businesses and will leave lasting changes in customers’ preferences. The demand for nutritional supplements was already growing at a healthy clip of more than 10% but the pandemic has added spurs to this growth. Even the Direct Selling industry has been able to tide over the pandemic blues as a provider of financial security to lacs of unemployed.

FLP has always innovated within its core competence, now is the time to increase the speed to market with new products. From the beginning FLP has based its nutritional products on a holistic philosophy that hasn’t changed in the last 45 year.

What are your future plans? – Expansion of FLP
FLP did not become one of the most successful companies in the world by accident. Building on 45 years of continuous growth and 25 years of presence in India ,FLP India will continue to embrace the simple philosophy of putting the best products in the world into the hands of the best distributors in the world and watch miracles happen. It’s no surprise that FLP has expanded its scope beyond aloe with a comprehensive product line for virtually every health need. Aloe is a tremendous health promoting agent but we knew it can be partnered with other ingredients to provide more health solutions for health savvy customers. One such example is AloeTurm wherein health benefits of Aloe Vera have been combined with Turmeric to provide a formidable lozenge which delivers immunity of the top order. The innovative delivery mechanism leads to absorption of the ingredients through the buccal cavity directly to the blood stream. Simply 1 lozenge gives you the benefit of numerous glasses of haldi milk. Besides offering top of the line health products , Forever also provides the opportunity for people everywhere to transform their lives with increased financial security and lifestyle freedom. In order to provide the convenience to our distributors FLP India plans to aggressively grow in South India and North East by opening more distribution points. In tune with the requirements the company is continuously strengthening its Home delivery systems and the digital platforms for ordering , payments and trainings. Major investments in the distribution and IT infrastructure are envisaged in the coming years.
