As India's first farm-to-face direct-to-consumer luxury skincare and beauty brand with several awards already to its credit, RAS has sustainability at the core of its business operations – this resonates heavily with us as our own investing philosophy also focuses on the integration of sustainability and climate-impact in our investment portfolio," said Sandiip Bhammer, co-managing partner and founder of Green Frontier Capital.
