ZeroHarm Eyes Rs 150 Crore Milestone by FY 2025 -'26, Accelerates Global Expansion into GCC
ZeroHarm Sciences, India's pioneering clean-label nutraceutical company, is set to accelerate its global footprint with a focused expansion into the GCC markets, including the UAE and the broader Middle East. Following a remarkable 10× revenue growth over the past two years and operating at a healthy ~20% EBITDA margin, the company closed the last fiscal year with 71 crore in gross revenue with an exit ARR of 90 crores. In the current fiscal, ZeroHarm is aiming for ₹150 crore in gross revenue, driven by strong domestic and global momentum and increasing traction in the United States, which now contributes nearly 30% of its overall revenue.
At the heart of ZeroHarm's global success is its patented ZeroHarm BioEnhance platform, a pharma-grade nanotechnology that encapsulates plant-based actives at the nanoscale, dramatically enhancing their bioavailability by up to 5×, ensuring faster onset, precise dosing, and residue-free delivery. This breakthrough, backed by granted patents and deep R&D, makes ZeroHarm the first Indian company to bring pharmaceutical nanotech into nutraceuticals at scale. ZeroHarm's US FDA, CE, and ISO-certified formulations are backed by government-led clinical trials, with documented claims for 15 products, setting it apart in a market rife with unverified health claims.
Today, the company offers over 70 targeted, condition-specific products spanning diabetes, arthritis, PCOS, liver and kidney health, immunity, and oncology support, with over million units sold across India to date. Backed by a fully owned, nanotech-enabled manufacturing facility, ZeroHarm can produce up to ₹250 crore worth of finished goods annually, making it one of the few Indian nutraceutical brands with true end-to-end production capabilities.
To support its international expansion, ZeroHarm has acquired a dedicated manufacturing and R&D facility in the United States, enhancing local supply chain efficiency, fast-tracking formulation innovation, and enabling closer clinical and regulatory collaborations in key global markets. The U.S. infrastructure also gives ZeroHarm a significant strategic edge in developed markets, where stringent compliance standards often limit entry for Indian nutraceutical brands reliant on contract manufacturing.
'The global nutraceutical market is shifting, consumers are demanding not just clean labels, but clinical credibility. At ZeroHarm, we've combined deep R&D with pharma-grade nanotechnology to raise the bar for efficacy, safety, and transparency in preventive wellness. Our entry into the GCC is a natural extension of the trust we've built in India and the U.S., and a significant step toward making evidence-backed, plant-based therapeutics accessible to global consumers,' said Sachin Darbarwar, Founder & CEO, ZeroHarm Sciences.
With distribution agreements and regulatory filings already underway, the company will also launch in the UK aside from the GCC markets by Q3 2025, introducing its clinically tested product lines via pharmacies, e-commerce platforms, and integrative practitioner networks.

Magnets in limbo: No rare earth nod yet from China for Indian auto suppliers
No Indian auto component or vehicle manufacturer has received approval from the Chinese government to procure rare earth magnets so far, Times of India reported citing sources. Despite efforts by Indian officials to intervene, the sources said there is "no clarity as yet" on when a meeting with Chinese representatives might happen. The applications for sourcing magnets were submitted primarily by auto component makers who manufacture complete, high-tech assemblies. These include speedometers, electric motors, e-axles, electric water pumps, automatic transmission kits, speakers, sensors, and ignition coils used in engines. Among the companies that have applied are Uno Minda, Bosch, Mareli, TVS Group, Motherson Sumi, and Sona Comstar. Economic Times reported this week that the number of India-based firms awaiting approval from China's ministry of commerce to import rare earth magnets has nearly doubled—from 11 two weeks ago to 21 now. This list includes Bosch India, Marelli Powertrain India, Mahle Electric Drives India, TVS Motor, and Uno Minda. Sona Comstar, whose earlier application was rejected due to procedural issues, has reapplied and is now among the 21 companies awaiting clearance, a senior industry executive told ET.'There were no approvals so far, according to the latest assessment we carried through interactions with industry representatives,' one source told TOI. 'The situation is grave, and there is now massive uncertainty regarding manufacturing schedules and factory output.' The request for a meeting with Chinese representatives is being followed up not only by leading industry bodies such as the Auto Component Manufacturers Association (Acma) and Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam), but also by government ministries including heavy industries, external affairs, and commerce. Senior officials from major automobile companies such as Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, Bajaj Auto, and TVS are also involved in pursuing the matter with the government and diplomatic this week, the auto industry held a meeting with top officials at the Ministry of Heavy Industries as the government examined possible solutions to the crisis. 'However, not much headway was made so far,' an official source told the executives said that Ernst & Young has been brought on board by the ministry to assist with the issue. During the meeting, officials also reviewed the current preparedness of some Indian companies that are working in the field of magnet urged local magnet producers to provide a firm supply timeline, if at all possible, stating that uninterrupted production lines depend on timely procurement of components. According to the report, both Acma and Siam have drawn up a list of delegates they hope to send to China if the Indian government is able to facilitate such a restrictions were formally issued through a notification on April 4 this year. The new rules apply to medium and heavy rare earth metals, their alloys, magnets, and related products under the country's export permit prevent diversion of these materials to defence and weapons production, China now requires exporters to secure a licence. This licence depends on an End User Certificate (EUC), which must be approved first by India's Directorate General of Foreign Trade (DGFT) and the Ministry of External Affairs, and then also endorsed by the Chinese Embassy in after these steps are completed can the EUC be sent to China for the final stages of approval—first by the provincial government where the exporting company is located, and then by China's Ministry of Commerce. Rare earth magnets are critical components used in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs), which are widely applied in electric vehicles because of their compact size, high torque, and energy efficiency. Hybrid vehicles also rely on these magnets for efficient propulsion systems. While parts manufacturers based in Europe have recently received approval from Chinese authorities to source rare earth magnets, their Indian counterparts—despite being part of the same multinational corporations—are still waiting for the go-ahead from Beijing. According to experts, this delay is worsened by the strained political and commercial relationship between India and companies have been attempting to build local capabilities to reduce reliance on imported rare earth materials, but experts say this effort remains extremely challenging and is unlikely to provide immediate relief.

How breathing patterns change your emotional state
The simplest and effortless act that we do all day and night is to breathe. But did you know that every emotion we feel slightly alters the depth and rhythm of our breath? And this happens the other way round too. How we breathe influences how we feel too. The Language of Breath If you observe your own breath, you will find that when you feel any tension, your breath may become shallow and erratic. Anger may make it fast and forceful. When you are relaxed, your breath may seem slow, deep, and smooth. So, breath is not a mere mechanical exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It significantly mirrors the condition of one's mind. The Haṭha Yoga Pradipika states: चलेवातेचलंचचत्तंचिश्चलेचिश्चलंभवेत्। As the breath moves so does the mind. When one is made steady the other is steadied. Effect of Emotions on Breathing Patterns Here are a few common emotional states and their effect on breathing patterns along with a scientific reason for each: Anger Breathing pattern – forceful inhalations, breath-holding, tightness in the abdomen Reason – pressure gets built up in the body, muscular tension Anxiety Breathing pattern – shallow, rapid breaths Reason – increases sympathetic nervous activity or the fight-or-flight response, raises heart rate Sadness Breathing pattern – sighing, longer exhalations Reason – heaviness in the chest, reduced energy Fear Breathing pattern – breath holding, sudden gasping Reason – surge of adrenaline, temporary shutdown of cognitive ability Joyfulness Breathing pattern – deep, slow breaths Reason – Parasympathetic nervous system activated, reduction of stress hormones, stability of heart rate Scientific Explanation of What Happens in the Brain Modern studies on breath are now supporting what is stated in the yogic texts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Furious Audiologists Try To Ban This $100 Crystal Clear Hearing Breakthrough Top Trending News Today Learn More Undo Activation of the vagus nerve – Deep and slow breaths naturally stimulate the vagus nerve, which calms the heart, digestive organs, and the brain. This eases the body into a parasympathetic mode. Regulation of amygdala activity – Amygdala is the brain's emotional alarm system and breathing consciously reduces its activity to make a person feel relaxed. Increase in GABA levels – Some yogic breathing techniques increase gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) which is a neurotransmitter that reduces anxiety. Improved heart rate variability (HRV) – Breathing deeply causes high HRV, and therefore, leads to better emotional regulation and mental strength. The Yogic View of Breath as the Bridge Breath is the medium yogis used to tame and master the monkey mind. In Indian philosophical language, it is called 'prana'. When it flows freely, our physical and mental systems function harmoniously. However, when it is blocked, some imbalance is likely to set in. Breath can be used consciously to manage what is unconscious such as our heart rate or emotional responses. Hence pranayama is not just a technique in yoga – it is a doorway to deeper truths. At The Yoga Institute, more than a 100 years ago, Shri Yogendraji explained 'prana' as 'bioenergy'. He was the first yogi to modify the traditional pranayama to suit the modern individual. Shri Yogendraji formulated easy and simple to follow techniques which are called Yogendra Pranayama. Among these, one very powerful technique is Yogendra Pranayama IV or Diaphragmatic breathing which has a calming effect on the nervous system and leads to emotional wellbeing. How to Practice Yogendra Pranayama IV or Diaphragmatic Breathing Most people have a shallow breathing pattern and they use only their chest and upper lungs. Unfortunately, this does not supply adequate oxygen to the body and can lead to tiredness and other physical and mental health issues. This pranayama is done supine, as the position aids maximum movement of the diaphragm. Let us see how to practice Diaphragmatic breathing. Starting position: Lie supine and pull up the knees, close to the hips. Keep the feet 1 foot apart or hip width; knees close to each other. Place your hand on your abdomen. One hand can rest on the side of the body, palms facing up or down, as per your comfort. Eyes kept closed. Image credits: Getty Images Steps: 1. Inhale gently, moving the abdomen upwards. 2. As soon as inhalation is complete exhale out smoothly, being aware of the abdomen falling or sinking in. 3. Keep the inhalation and exhalation count equal as per your comfort. Practice this as per your capacity and comfort, count not to exceed 3 seconds and do 10 rounds per session. Everybody can do this pranayama. In the beginning, it may take time to master this technique, especially if one is used to shallow chest breathing. When you practice consistently, you will experience the many benefits of breathing from the diaphragm. Diaphragmatic Breathing has a soothing effect on your nervous system and relaxes your entire body. Hence, it brings quietude and inner harmony. When Should You Breathe Deeply Since deep breathing helps in maintaining balanced emotional states, it is important to become more aware of your breathing patterns throughout the day and consciously make an effort to breathe deeply every now and then so that it becomes a habit. Deep breathing is especially good in certain situations such as the following. Before going to sleep: Practicing deep breathing just before you turn in to sleep, or even when you lie down in bed to sleep can help with conditions such as insomnia. During stressful moments: Deep breathing will calm your nerves and lower your stress if you practice it in moments of anxiety such as just before an important meeting or a performance. Before meditation: Deep breathing makes any meditative experience better by clearing your mind and inducing relaxation. Lifestyle changes to be emotionally stronger Breath is life. Every living creature breathes from birth to death. Breath is the basis of our very existence. Unfortunately, we don't give it much attention. If you begin to pay more attention to your breath, you will be surprised by its powers. Breathing mindfully and deeply has several emotional, mental and physical benefits. Emotional healing begins when one realizes that something as subtle as one's breath holds immense power. If we train our breath, emotions follow. And when we still our breath, our mind can become a mirror. (Dr Hansaji Yogendra) One step to a healthier you—join Times Health+ Yoga and feel the change
