By eliminating middlemen, 'Hana' ensures fair practices and aims to empower farmers to become self-sufficient. The brand's commitment to promoting people's health is evident through the exclusive use of natural ingredients, avoiding artificial additives or intoxicants.
In February of this year, 'Hana' soft drinks received positive feedback at the prestigious "Gulf Food" fair for soft drinks held in Dubai, attended by representatives from leading companies across 155 countries. Encouraged by the response, several companies expressed interest in introducing 'Hana' products in markets worldwide and extended invitations to collaborate. Responding to these opportunities, 'Hana' has prioritized entering the Gulf countries' market and has already made significant strides in Saudi Arabia. The company plans to enter the Dubai market soon and aims to reach consumers across all Gulf markets in the coming two months.
The expansion of 'Hana' soft drinks to the Gulf countries signifies a significant milestone for 'Swadeshi Food and Beverages' and presents an opportunity to introduce their natural and refreshing beverages to a broader international audience.

According to the family, the room in which Anjali was found was locked from the inside. The door was later forcibly opened by a neighbour and her sister with the help of a crowbar.
Her body was found lying on the bed inside the room, police said.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that Anjali had allegedly hanged herself using a piece of cloth tied to the ceiling fan.
It is suspected that the noose eventually might have loosened or torn off, resulting in her being found lying on the bed.
Family members informed the police that Anjali was a final-year student of a librarian science course from Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU). About a week ago, her final-year examination results were declared, and she had failed, following which she had been under depression, they said.
The family has not raised any allegation of foul play, police said, adding that no suicide note or external injury marks were found on the body during the initial inspection.
Inquest proceedings have been initiated in the matter as per the law. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination to ascertain the exact cause of death, and further investigation is underway, police added.
