Its been a while ! Silence either means that nothing is happening or maybe a lot is :) In APIs case it was the latter. A lot has been written and a lot said about us. We generally dont respond and believe in just doing what is right for the team, the shareholders and the company and just out-execute. Its easier to write about companies as they are 'entities at the end'. We tend to forget that at the end these entities are made by real people with real sweat, blood, tears and a lot more ! So yes - here we are with facts. We decided in November 2022 that we should be profitable in april 2023. Not move 'towards' profitability / not 'try to be profitable' - Just be 'profitable'. And the power of a common vision, team work, people coming together and moving towards a common goal and just outExecuting was proved ! Not for a month / not for a quarter but for all months of H1 put together - (the 1st 6 months april to sept 2023) we clocked a cumulative 60cr of EBIDTA at API. We also launched a rights issue of INR 3500cr and we are glad to announce that we are oversubscribed !! Yes we raised 3500cr & there was more demand which we had to politely reject :p. Every single shareholder stood up and supported us, believed in our vision and saw value in what the team at API is building. Big heartfelt thank you to the entire cap table for supporting us and a big warm hug to the entire rockstar team @API for making this possible. What would we do without you !!! Just upwards and onwards from here. As they say - Never write someone off, as by lowering expectations you just make it easier for them to fight back. Lets get going :) PharmEasy API Holdings Dharmil Sheth Hardik Dedhia Harsh Parekh Siddharth Shah

It has become the latest must for any company! The Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), a global reference organization framework launched in 2015, has been a runaway success, attracting its fair share of criticism in the process...As other organizations such as CDP and WWF have already suffered in the past! #climatechange #greenhousegasemissions #climatefinance

Strengthening Ties Through Cannabis Tourism: a blog post about the Strategic Integration of Cannabis Tourism within the Broader Visitor Economy Goals. Three key takeaways: 1. Cannabis tourism offers Destination Organizations unique opportunities to reinforce community alignment and engagement, while demonstrating inclusivity. 2. By actively collaborating with local governments and tourism-minded cannabis industry stakeholders, destination organizations can enhance their role as brand managers. 3. Destination Organizations can collaborate with educational institutions to develop courses and curriculums that equip local residents with the skills needed for cannabis tourism. If your destination has adult-use recreational cannabis shops, then cannabis is already part of your destination brand and visitor ecosystem. Let's discuss how to approach a sustainable cannabis integration plan for your specific destination >>> ba@brianapplegarth.com #cannabistourism #cannabistravel

MJBizCon/Vegas Earns a C-Minus As Show Shrinks by Half Yes, it was a record number of parties and networking events. But most were off-site from the "official show" and the increasing divergence--from Last Prisoner appeals to lawyer forums to surviving advocacy groups-- underscored a painful contraction of the MJ sector facing "give up or redouble efforts." Emerald/MJBizCon 2023 promoted endless fantasies: They promised over 30,000 attendees--but maybe got 16,000---mostly new tire-kickers and California wannabe partyers. Unlike 2022, where major MSOs and executive level decision-makers attended, this year's conference/keynotes brought a low-level rehash of possible re-scheduling (with maybe IRS 280e relief) devoid of legal, political or regulatory context. On the women's MJ management/ownership initiatives-- and for the still-born state social equity programs-- nothing moved beyond the "keep hope alive" stage. The silo of business interests underscored the continuing fragmentation of the sector-- struggling retailers, over-grown cultivators and $million dollar packaging machines looking for some massive scaling of edibles/pre-rolls/vapes where demand no longer exists. Here is an excellent insight: "I love being with my community, but over and over I heard how the ROI from conferences just isn't there any more. I'm feeling the same, and as a single parent sacrificing time with my child, I have to do fewer conferences next year. It's also hard to be in the community when everyone is struggling. There's little opportunity..." was yesterday's LinkedIn comment from cannabis insurance professional Summer Westerbur based in New Jersey. Las Vegas has gone from challenging to "unmanageable." Overpriced everything (rooms, food, Ubers) dug further into tight budgets for those who attended-- it was all fun if you could afford a $12 beer. And so many afterparties spread across Vegas made it impossible to keep a schedule, day or night. Should I attend a MJ pickleball contest-- or go hear Kim Rivers (CEO of Trulieve) prognosticate about "better days ahead" for big MSOs like her. A closed-to-press, invite-only executive lunch with comments from top FDA advisor Norm Birenbaum should have been the MJBizCon keynote event-- but instead was saved for less than 45 execs from the biggest show-floor exhibitors. C-minus overall. But clearly when we asked, "Could we have just passed up attending the 12th MJBizCon??" Unfortunately, Yes. But 2024 promises many more trade shows, especially in April. MJUnpacked comes to Atlantic City, NJ on 4/9-11, 2024. NOCO hosts its 12th hemp gathering on April 11-13 in Estes Park, CO. Financially-oriented Benzinga Cannabis will occur in Miami, April 16-17.
