Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

The academy will focus on elevating skill sets in the nutraceuticals category to keep pace with industry growth.

Bangalore, Nov. 11, 2021– Nutrify Today has announced it has launched the Nutrify Today Academy (https://academy.nutrifytoday.com/), the world’s first Nutraceuticals Academy, aimed at elevating skill sets for working executives in the nutraceuticals category to stay in sync with the industry’s growth. The Nutrify Today Academy, with dual bases in Mumbai and Bangalore, India, will initially focus on India and Asia before expanding to other key global nutraceutical markets through an online curriculum.  Several universities including GITAM, Centurion University, AIC-CCMB, National Research and Development Corporation of India, Indian Institute of Integrative Medicine, and others, will have strong academic affiliations with the Nutrify Today Academy.

According to Amit Srivastava, chief catalyst for Nutrify Today, the Nutrify Today Academy will also provide access to university students studying pharma, food technology, biochemistry, and chemical engineering who want to pursue a career in nutraceutical ingredient formulation. The Nutrify Today Academy expects to train a minimum of 5,000 professionals by 2024. Explaining the rationale behind the launch of the academy, Srivastava said, “India is currently a USD$8 billion market, however, we expect exports to grow significantly. Stakeholders in the sector predict that by 2025, the industry will be valued USD$40 billion, and by 2030, it will be worth as much as USD$100 billion.”

The Academy’s faculty will consist of senior industry professionals and senior academicians, thus providing an inside view of the industry. “The Nutrify Today Academy is an industry educational platform that will help nutraceutical professionals expand their business acumen. The industry is eagerly seeking people who are knowledgeable about product formulations, scientific and overall business development,” said Srivastava.

Initial Nutrify Today Academy industry leaders will include Dr. Balkumar Marthi, the former R&D head of Unilever, Brijesh Kapil, former Procter & Gamble India board member, Naaznin Hussein, former president of the Indian Dietetics Association and key opinion leader, Sheldon Baker, Baker Dillon Group chief executive officer and nutraceutical brand marketing leader from the U.S., as well as other industry professionals who will play a key role in Academy development. The Academy will also have major companies from India and the U.S. advising on course direction.

“The Academy will provide corporate executives with a greater understanding about idea-to-commercialization view of the industry and provide university students a look at the professional and corporate side of the industry,” said Baker. “From my brand marketing and PR experience, much of the current global market is not keenly aware of the need to develop ongoing company and product marketing strategies. I will try to enlighten course participants of such a need, the cost involved and which directions they might want to consider.”

Nutraceuticals is still considered a relatively new field of study in the India healthcare industry. It recognizes the importance of healthy lifestyle habits and creating a sustainable and a healthy world. Nutraceuticals have sparked much attention in recent years because of its potential nutritional, safety, and medicinal advantages, and as an industry, has the potential for growing to USD$100 billion market by 2030. 

The post-pandemic expansion of nutraceuticals in India has attracted global attention creating an Indian nutraceuticals demand in the U.S. and international nutraceuticals entering India. Nutrify Today is the world’s first platform that has taken an idea from conception to commercialization in half the time it takes to traditionally execute it development. This platform currently has over 10,000 executives from nutraceuticals, government, investors, and regulatory bodies from India and other global markets.

Delayed Marriages and Child-bearing Leading to Rising Infertility in Indian Women

Posted on by City Today News (City today.media)

·       The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) by infertile couples is showing an increase of 5-10% every year

·       It is best to bear children between 25 to 33 years of age

BENGALURU / November 9, 2021 – The trend among educated, career-oriented women of getting married late and delaying pregnancies to a later stage in life is leading to an increase in the burden of infertility where they are finding it difficult to conceive naturally. The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) by infertile couples is showing an increase of 5-10% every year, according to renowned Laparoscopic Surgeon and Fertility Specialist Dr. Vidya V Bhat, who is the Medical Director of RadhaKrishna Multispecialty Hospital, Bengaluru.

Said Dr. Vidya V Bhat: “The recent phenomenon of reduced fertility among Indian women is caused by delayed marriages, obsession regarding one’s career, and use of modern contraceptives. Postponement of childbearing is a new behavioral change seen in Indian women, like in many other countries in the world as education levels rise. Average age of Indian urban women at their first pregnancy, and the number of pregnancies in women over 35 years of age, both have been steadily rising. As the age of women increases, the chances of them getting pregnant reduce significantly. This is due to decreased frequency of sexual intercourse, lower quality of uterus, and ageing egg cells resulting in poor-quality embryos. There is reduction in intrinsic fertility potential of egg cells after 35 years of age. The decline in fertility begins around 32 years of age and becomes rapid around 37 years of age. It is best for women to bear children between 25 to 33 years of age. Women who delay pregnancy more than this will face fertility challenges.”

Delayed childbearing impacts the health of women and children both. Said Dr. Vidya V Bhat: “Delayed pregnancies could be the reason for rise in cases of gestational diabetes among pregnant women, which sometimes even turns into type II diabetes. Women having late pregnancies have higher chances of suffering from chronic hypertension from the beginning of their pregnancy. They may also face issues during labour, such as non-progression of labour and non-descent of the fetal head. There is also increased risk of spontaneous abortion in women above 35 years of age, as well as of chromosomal anomalies being found in the baby. Obesity causes a lot of problems with respect to fertility. Women who put on a lot of weight during pregnancy may face metabolic syndrome and even recurrent loss of pregnancy.”

Many women who are single and focused on their careers in their twenties and thirties prefer to delay childbearing. They are increasingly opting for egg freezing and surrogacy as options for having a child later in life when they are ready to settle down. However, success is not guaranteed in these cases, said Dr. Vidya V Bhat. According to estimates from the Society of Assisted Reproductive Technology based on data from Indian women, the success rate of IVF is 55.6% under age 35. This declines to 40.8% in 35-37 age group, 26.8% in 38-40 age group, 12.6% in 41-42 age group and 3.9% in the age group above this. In cases of surrogacy, pregnancy rates from embryo transfer are about 53.6%.


Said Dr. Vidya V Bhat: “In life everything is important. Women should keep their personal and work lives balanced, and not treat their work life as more important than personal life. Women should keep that in mind after marriage when they decide to postpone pregnancy.”

WHO estimates the overall prevalence of primary infertility in India to be between 3.9% to 16.8%.
