The world is witnessing a significant shift in dietary preferences, with a growing number of consumers opting for plant-based diets. This trend is not just confined to the West; it's making its presence felt in India too. But is India ready to embrace this change? Let us delve into this topic. 

The Rise of Plant-Based Diets  

The rise of plant-based diets can be attributed to a variety of factors. Health concerns, environmental sustainability, and ethical considerations are driving more people to explore vegan and vegetarian alternatives. The global market for plant-based food is expected to reach $74.2 billion by 2027, growing at a CAGR of 11.9% from 2020 to 2027. 

In India, a country with a rich history of vegetarianism, the concept of plant-based diets is not new. However, the modern interpretation of plant-based diets, which includes veganism and the consumption of plant-based meat alternatives, is a relatively recent phenomenon.
