"While HCPL has control of the majority stake in Dr Sheth's, Dr Aneesh Sheth will continue to lead the business and product innovation for the brand," it said in a statement.
Varun Alagh, HCPL Co-Founder and CEO, said, "We will utilise our expertise and proficiency in digital marketing to accelerate the growth and scale growth for Dr. Sheth's and we are confident that we will make it a ₹100 crore run rate brand in two years."
