Q.12. According to the history page of the organization's website:
Founded in 2006, X is not a company. It is a CONCEPT – a concept that links the rising destiny of millions of rural masses on the one hand and many more suffering the onslaught of the unhealthy urban life style on the other.
It is all about economically processing farm produce into daily use consumables ranging from health supplements to Foods and cosmetics and then supplying them largely to the urban world. The produce will be picked up right from the farms, thereby increasing the effective income of the farmers. The health based products will then be made available to a large population in the urban areas that is reeling under the scourge of polluted food items and artificial drinks that make them vulnerable to a variety of chronic diseases. And all this at a cost that is unmatched in the market.
