Participants from across India and around the world gathered alongside educational institutions, investors, and companies including Licious<\/a>, Shaka Harry, and Blue Tribe Foods for the Smart Protein Summit in India. The event brought together industry stakeholders committed to transforming the global protein supply through cultivating smart protein and technology.
