Meet our Co-Founder

Having a master’s degree in Journalism and mass communication but her quest to do something for the women of our society made her create menstrual cramp relief oil. Seeing the potential of hemp, there was no looking back and Deepika took the entrepreneurial route by starting Hempstrol to ensure more people can take advantage of this plant. A little peep into the life of our co-founder; Deepika Sharma.

Take us through your journey. What motivated you to start Hempstrol?

The idea for Hempstrol was born during a visit to the rural interiors of Rajasthan, India. There, I encountered a woman suffering from severe menstrual cramps but without access to even basic feminine hygiene — not even a sanitary pad. Her story, sadly, mirrored that of countless women across India. That experience became a turning point. I knew I had to do something meaningful to address this often-ignored aspect of women’s health.

My personal connection with hemp began in childhood, but I never imagined it would one day form the foundation of a purpose-driven business. With a Post graduate degree in Journalism and mass communication, my research and analytical skills led me to explore the lesser-known therapeutic benefits of hemp. Having personally struggled with menstrual cramps, I experimented with homemade hemp seed oil for relief — and it worked. That moment of personal healing sparked the idea for our first product: Hempstrol’s Menstrual Cramp Relief Oil, a blend of Himalayan hemp seed oil and Himalayan lavender oil designed to ease menstrual discomfort naturally.

As I delved deeper into the science of the cannabis plant, Hempstrol quickly grew from a single product into a much larger vision. I became fascinated by how this single plant, so misunderstood and misrepresented, held extraordinary potential to heal — both physically and emotionally. Its cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system to help regulate pain, inflammation, anxiety, and even sleep. The more I studied it, the clearer it became: cannabis is not just powerful — it’s beautiful, inside and out.

This vision led to the expansion of Hempstrol. Today, we are proud to operate our own licensed manufacturing facility, where we develop safe, law-abiding, and science-backed Ayurvedic cannabis-based medicines. Our products are created with precision, under stringent quality controls, combining the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with modern science.

In addition, Hempstrol now has a flagship wellness store in Jaipur — a space designed not just to sell, but to educate and build trust in plant-based healing. From menstrual care to chronic pain, mental wellness to skincare, our journey continues to be fueled by a simple mission: to bring the healing power of cannabis from India to the world — ethically, legally, and compassionately.

What makes Hempstrol a Standout Vision in India's Wellness Space

As an entrepreneur, I believe Hempstrol stands out in several key ways:

1. Focus on Sustainability: Hempstrol is deeply committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. By focusing on hemp, a plant that requires minimal water and no pesticides, we are promoting eco-friendly agriculture and contributing to a greener planet.

2. Quality and Transparency: At Hempstrol, we prioritize the highest quality standards. Our products are sourced from the finest hemp farms, and we ensure complete transparency in our manufacturing processes. Customers can trace our products back to their origin, giving them confidence in the purity and efficacy of what they are consuming.

3. Innovation in Product Offerings: Unlike many startups that stick to conventional products, Hempstrol continuously innovates. We offer a diverse range of hemp-based products, from health supplements to skincare, catering to a broad spectrum of consumer needs and preferences.

4. Education and Advocacy: We are not just a company; we are advocates for the benefits of hemp and cannabis. Through our educational initiatives and community outreach, we aim to dispel myths and promote understanding about the potential health benefits and uses of hemp.

5. Cultural Integration: Hempstrol embraces the cultural heritage of cannabis in India, particularly its significance in Ayurveda and traditional practices. By blending ancient wisdom with modern science, we create products that resonate with both traditional and contemporary consumers.

6. Social Responsibility: We are dedicated to giving back to the community. Whether it's through supporting local farmers, engaging in environmental initiatives, or contributing to social causes, Hempstrol is committed to making a positive impact beyond business.

From Taboo to Treatment, Rewriting the Cannabis Narrative

While the hemp market in India is still in its infancy due to many people comparing it with Marijuana, with Hempstrol we are trying our best to demystify the myths surrounding this conversation. We have to understand CBD Industry in India is still fresh, and not many people have come across its infinite benefits on health yet. It is unfortunate that CBD oil came to light this way. If you look at history, the use of Cannabis to relieve menstrual pain is an ancient practice that has helped historic figures such as Queen Victoria of the UK. It is also one of the five most sacred plants, according to Vedic texts. Legally speaking, we ensure our products are abided by the law and have a top-notch quality. We are the first in India to manufacture and market our Signature Full Spectrum Hemp Extract also popularly known as CBD oil with less than 0.3% THC in our Colorado, USA facility. We make products that are chemical and toxin-free. CBD oil is manufactured according to the legislature set by the US and India. The company uses industrial hemp to manufacture it in the US. We have a panel of doctors who can be consulted for the correct prescription and for suggestions regarding the product.

Road Ahead

As a pioneer in India’s CBD industry, I believe it’s not just a business — it’s a responsibility. A responsibility to provide accurate education, offer safe and effective plant-based treatments, and deliver premium-quality products that people can trust.

At Hempstrol, our vision goes beyond borders. We aim to position India as a global leader in hemp-based wellness. By developing modern, science-backed cannabis products that meet international standards while staying rooted in Ayurvedic tradition, we’re making these innovations readily available in India — where they belong.

The world is turning to India not only for its expertise in Ayurveda but also for its deep-rooted cultural acceptance of hemp as a healing plant for centuries. With the Indian government’s aligned vision to promote Ayurvedic medicine and traditional plant-based treatments — and with the support of progressive regulatory authorities — we see a powerful opportunity. Our mission is to create globally competitive, affordable, and effective cannabis-based medicines — powered by the rich biodiversity of Indian soil and guided by our legacy of holistic healing.

This is not just Hempstrol’s journey. It’s India’s moment to lead the world in plant-powered wellness.

How has been the response so far?

COVID-19 period has proven to be a positive phase for us as all over the world, health and having a strong immune system has become a priority. We have a full-fledged working website via which we sell our products as well as educate people about the usage of CBD.

It certainly feels great when different publications recognize your work and come to us to know more about it. This year, I have been awarded for "Inspiring Women of Rajasthan 2021” by the Government of Rajasthan on International Women’s Day 2021. All of this recognition collectively encourage us to put forward quality products in a market that is still fresh.
