Johnny Paterson, Co-founder at Dr. PAWPAW said:
Dr.PAWPAW is absolutely delighted to partner with Kanvar Group in India. Dr.PAWPAW has long been demanded by the Indian consumer but finding the right route to market was very important to us. We know that the Kanvar team will be helping us to deliver a strategic launch across multiple retailers around the Indian market.
