IGC to Enter California Market with Hyalolex

India Globalization Capital, Inc. IGC announces that it has designated California as a priority market for Hyalolex, its lead cannabis-based supplement for treating and managing Alzheimer's patients.

"The cannabis market is showing explosive growth and we are aggressively moving forward with our vision of owning and marketing the leading brands for large medical indications such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, PTSD, pain, veterinary medicine and cancer. With 8 patents filed, IGC has made significant strides towards achieving these goals and building value for our shareholders as a NYSE American listed company," stated Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC.

"California is considered to be the largest addressable U.S. market for cannabis with an environment that strongly embraces its acceptance. This represents a significant opportunity for Hyalolex and our brands, as such we are currently coordinating the necessary steps to efficiently and rapidly introduce our product to high-density regions in the state. It should be noted that according to U.S. Census data, California has an estimated population of 39.54 million and that total is larger than all of Canada," continued Mukunda.

IGC's management team has been actively meeting with California-based manufacturers and distributers to assemble the requisite combination of partners to efficiently bring Hyalolex to dispensaries, patients and caregivers in California. Our "Drops of Clarity" marketing program will highlight the potential benefits of Hyalolex as a supplement to cannabis physicians as well as to caregivers and patients via both a digital format and through grassroots outreach.
