Our Founder
Ajay Patel started Verdure Sciences® in 1997 as a division of Geni Herbs. The company began when Patel recognized that traditional Indian medicine was growing in popularity in the United States. His chemical engineering degree from Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN, USA) gave Patel the executive understanding of control processes. This, coupled with his vision for unparalleled customer service and premium ingredients, backed by innovative research and development, offered continuous growth. He recognized the demand for clinical research and a need for ingredient confidence, leading to continued success for Verdure Sciences®.
