In this compelling episode of SparX, we engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Revant Himatsingka, popularly known as "Food Pharmer." A former McKinsey consultant and Wharton MBA, Revant left a high-profile corporate career to champion health literacy in India. He unpacks how misleading marketing and hidden ingredients are silently harming millions of Indians through widely consumed packaged foods. From analyzing the viral Bournvita video to discussing systemic issues in food regulation, this episode explores Revant’s courageous journey, his motivation to trigger policy-level change, and how a single Instagram reel sparked a nationwide debate. As India faces a growing health crisis marked by soaring diabetes rates, this conversation is both timely and necessary. Tune in to learn how awareness, education, and a willingness to speak truth to power can lead to real impact.
