Shameek’s mission is “to inspire people and companies to work in harmony with nature”. Therefore it is no surprise at all that he is a Co-founder at Omvits, a leading plant-based supplements brand that’s using their business as a force for good in the world.
A few years ago, Shameek and his co-founders were blown away when they learnt that Algae is the original source of marine Omega-3, not fish! With the support of his co-founders, Omvits was launched and powered by a mission to make sustainable and cruelty-free health supplements from Algae-based Omega-3 as the ultimate alternative to fish oil. Since the team started in 2017, they’ve launched palm-oil free vitamin and mineral products, gained thousands of very happy customers and donated essential vitamins to over 23,000 underprivileged children around the world.
