“ITC’s commitment to nutrition, health and wellness took a significant step with the introduction of Right Shift. It isn’t merely a product line; it’s a comprehensive approach to nutrition for mature adults. It challenges stereotypes around age and wellness – and encourages individuals to make healthier choices as per their body needs.”
