"Organic Harvest has over 700 employees. Yes, all of them have been absorbed in the company.

The Good Glamm Group-Organic Harvest partnership came about on a shared vision to leverage content-to-commerce to exponentially grow the organic BPC (beauty and personal care) category.

"To scale this further, Good Glamm will be investing a further Rs 75 crore in growing the brand," Organic Harvest CEO Rahul Agarwal said.
