NOTE 1 – BUSINESS DESCRIPTION


Business


IGC has two lines of business: 1) Infrastructure Business and 2) Plant and Cannabinoid Business. The Company’s Infrastructure Business, managed from India, involves: (a) the rental of heavy construction equipment; (b) execution of construction contracts; and (c) the purchase and resale of physical commodities used in infrastructure.


Our second line of business, Plant and Cannabinoid Business, stems from plant material and cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant. It involves several brands that the Company develops and expects to commercialize as alternative plant and cannabinoid-based products and therapies. The Company’s flagship branded, patent pending, product is Hyalolex™. Further information is available at www.igcpharma.com and www.hyalolex.com. In addition, the Company, under the brand name Holi Hemp™, sells hemp crude extract, hemp isolate, and hemp distillate. Further information is available at www.holihemp.com.
