ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales.

Ankit Chona, Founder and Managing Director of HOCCO, delves into the company’s revenue model, growth strategies, and vision for the future… Bengaluru: HOCCO (House of Chonas Collaborative) , the Ahmedabad-based ice cream and quick-service restaurant (QSR) chain, boasts a rich legacy spanning over 70 years, with roots tracing back to pre-independence India. The Chona family has been deeply entrenched in the food industry since 1944, originally operating in undivided Pakistan. Following the Partition, Satish Chona , an engineer with British Overseas Airways Corporation, relocated from Karachi to India.
