Shaheen Majeed, CEO and managing director, and Devaraj Reddy, PhD, COO, met with leadership at Gandhi Krishi Vignam Kendra, the University of Mysore, and the University of Agricultural Sciences, to explore pathways for joint research projects, technology transfers, and internship programs.
Lokanath N.K., vice chancellor of the University of Mysore, hosted Majeed and Reddy for a discussion on possible research collaboration in the domains of probiotics and synthetic chemistry, to drive industry-focused research, initiate cooperation in the emerging areas of synthetics, and mutually exchange knowledge.
At Gandhi Krishni Vigyana Kendra, a campus and administrative headquarters of the University of Agricultural Sciences at Bangalore, vice chancellor S. V. Suresha met with Majeed and discussed plans for collaborative research on the development of high-quality medicinal plants with desired traits. There, Sabinsa’s team held discussions on associating with farmer producer organizations in the region that would secure the livelihood of farmers and provide business access to superior-quality medicinal raw materials.
Majeed also met with M.P. Sadashiva, PhD, associate professor at the department of studies in chemistry, and M.Y. Sreenivasa, PhD, professor of microbiology, at the University of Mysore. Sadashiva provided an overview of the infrastructure and ongoing research activities at the chemistry research lab. Sami-Sabinsa group previously donated walk-in fume hoods to the institute for organic molecules synthesis.
“We are excited to embark on these valuable research collaborations with key academic institutes, which is particularly meaningful to me given my father’s deep commitment to this level of research,” said Majeed. “Through our collective efforts, we can make a profound impact on the sector, our community through cultivation programs and, more importantly, support the next generation of researchers in having access to industry expertise. The Sami-Sabinsa Group will fully embrace this opportunity to advance its research and innovations and help align with its sustainability goals.”
