Informa Markets in India

Clean beauty has come a long way from homemade face masks and kitchen remedies to scientifically formulated, clinical-grade skincare. What was once a movement built on "natural ingredients" now represents a careful balance of nature, science, ethical sourcing, and regulatory compliance.

Mr. Arpit Gupta, Founder & Managing Director of AG Organica, explores how manufacturing rigour, scientific validation, and label transparency are redefining what "clean" truly means and why the future belongs to brands that treat clean beauty as an ongoing commitment, not a marketing trend.

Building communities is just as important as building industries.

On Friday, 17th July 2026, the Informa Markets in India team came together for another impactful CSR initiative in Vehel Pada and Kumbhi Pada, reaffirming our commitment to creating sustainable, long-term value for the communities around us.

The day began with a fruit tree plantation drive in Vehel Pada, where mango, jackfruit and cashew saplings were planted as an investment in the village's future. Beyond increasing green cover, these plantations are expected to support sustainable livelihoods and strengthen the community's vision of producing organic fruits, vegetables and local produce in the years ahead.

This initiative was made possible through the continued guidance and support of Ramesh Sir, Krishna Ji, Pawar Sir, the Making a Difference (MAD) Foundation, and the unwavering spirit of the Vehel Pada community, whose discipline, collective commitment and determination continue to inspire meaningful change.

The journey continued at Kumbhi Pada School, where our volunteers traded keyboards for paintbrushes, transforming school walls into vibrant learning spaces.

At Informa Markets in India, CSR is a shared responsibility embraced by our people. As we continue to create platforms that drive industries and economies forward, we remain equally committed to empowering communities, nurturing sustainability and contributing to a more inclusive future.

Every milestone is an opportunity to reflect, realign, and move forward with purpose.

Our Town Hall brought us together to celebrate the progress we've made, recognise the people behind it, and share where we're headed next.

Led by our Managing Director, Yogesh Mudras, the session reflected on recent milestones, business updates, and the opportunities ahead. More than anything, it was a chance to come together as one team, celebrate what we've achieved, and build momentum for everything that's still to come.

Here's to continuing the journey with the same energy, collaboration, and purpose that bring our ideas to life every day.

The food and beverage industry is being shaped by two powerful consumer expectations.

On one side, clean-label ingredients are gaining momentum as consumers increasingly look for products with simple, recognisable ingredient lists and greater transparency around what goes into their food.

On the other, functional nutrition is driving product innovation through ingredients that offer targeted health benefits, from protein and fibre to probiotics, vitamins, and botanical extracts that support overall well-being.

For food manufacturers, success lies in striking the right balance: creating products that consumers trust while delivering the nutritional value they actively seek.

Which of these trends do you see having the greatest influence on the future of food innovation?
