US-based Bankai Ventures and HariBol Unite to Create a Transparent, Tech-Driven Ethical Food Ecosystem
In Alignment with ISKCON’s Spiritual and Vedic Values
Mumbai, 11 August 2025 ( TGN )– US-based Bankai Ventures, a global leader in fintech, blockchain, and AI-driven innovation, has announced a strategic partnership with HariBol, India’s foremost cruelty-free food brand inspired by ISKCON. The collaboration aims to build a transparent, technology-powered ecosystem across both dairy and non-dairy segments—blending traditional Vedic values with modern digital infrastructure to redefine how ethical food systems are designed, scaled, and trusted.
This partnership represents a fusion of spiritual ethos and cutting-edge technology—centered on ethical sourcing, rural empowerment, animal welfare, and complete supply chain traceability.
Rooted in Ahimsa, Empowered by Technology
HariBol operates in close collaboration with rural farming communities committed to ethical, sustainable practices inspired by the principle of Ahimsa (non-violence). In the dairy sector, this commitment translates into the lifelong protection of cows and bulls, supported by AI- and IoT-enabled health monitoring systems—offered at no cost to farmers.
In the non-dairy segment, HariBol champions traditional, eco-conscious practices such as water-milling of grains and cold-pressing of oils. These methods uphold purity, ecological balance, and traceability—ensuring every product remains uncompromised in quality and ethics.
Technology for Good: Bankai Ventures’ Role
As part of the collaboration, Bankai Ventures will provide its expertise in AI, blockchain, and digital infrastructure to fortify HariBol’s ethical and transparent supply chain. The initiative aims to bring social impact through innovation—empowering farmers, protecting animals, and enabling consumers to trace their food from origin to consumption.
Ms. Ami Brahmbhatt, Co-Founder of Bankai Ventures, remarked: “We believe that innovation reaches its highest purpose when it aligns with empathy. HariBol exemplifies a spiritually conscious food system that uses technology for compassion and care. We’re proud to contribute to a movement where every product—whether dairy or plant-based—embodies transparency, consciousness, and moral responsibility.”
Echoing the spiritual foundation of this partnership, Gauranga Das, member of the governing body commission of ISKCON, reflected on the teachings of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, Founder-Acharya of ISKCON:
“Srila Prabhupada once said, ‘Milk is nothing but religious principle. It is the miracle food given by the cow, and the cow is the most important animal in human society because she gives milk.’ But he also warned, ‘Nowadays milk is not pure. They are adding so many things – powder, water, even urea – to increase the volume. This is very bad. That milk will not have the effect.’ If this was his concern in the 1960s, one must ask – what is the state of our milk today?”
A Recognized Ethical Brand
Endorsed by the World Economic Forum, HariBol offers a wide range of ethically sourced and traceable products including DNA-verified A2 cow milk and ghee, cold-pressed oils, ready-to-eat meals, and sustainably grown groceries—all sourced from cruelty-free farm systems. Mr. Yachneet Pushkarna, CEO & Director of HariBol, added: “This partnership with Bankai Ventures represents our shared commitment to integrity and impact. By giving our farming partners access to cutting-edge AI tools free of charge and extending transparency across our value chain, we offer consumers an authentic view into every product’s journey—from soil and seed to cow and kitchen.”
Towards a New Ethical Paradigm in Food Systems : Together, Bankai Ventures and HariBol are setting a precedent in India’s food industry—where data is transparent, kindness is measurable, and each product nourishes not just the body but also the planet and soul.
