Cannabis culture is catching on and hemp businesses are sprouting everywhere. The global industry of cannabis is pegged at $57 billion but Indian startups are having a hard time exploiting it due to a lack of regulatory uniformity and clarity.

TMB Podcast host Apoorva Mittal explores this hazy subject in the latest episode of The Morning Brief with Sumit Shah of Bombay Hemp Company, Tarun Jami of GreenJams, Prasannan Namboodiri, Advocate and Former Narcotics Officer, and Stephen Murphy of Prohibition Partners. Tune in!
