Currently, Coptis has our main product – Coptis Lab which is a PLM software that provides all necessary features for product developers to work proactively.

The rapid and constant changes in research and development are indeed the reason why we have Coptis Ingredients and Regulatory database. Coptis Ingredients allow users to keep up with the latest released ingredients and monitor the demand for such to gain a competitive advantage. Whereas Coptis Reg allows individuals to cope with the ever-changing regulations and ensure quality is met.
6. What changes have the industry witnessed overall in terms of formulation technologies and modernisation over the last few years?
As we move towards a more digitalised world, many have adopted the use of technologies to improve the way they work. The growth and adoption of formulation technologies can be seen in the rising number of players in this industry. The benefits of incorporating technologies into the workplace are vast and many are willing to embrace this new change in the way they work, although some are still hesitant to make the switch. Nonetheless, we do believe that technologies and digitalisation will be the next game-changer for the personal care industry.
7. Within the global context, where is India placed in terms of emerging as a hub for manufacturing for the home and personal care Industry?
We definitely see a huge potential for the Indian market, and this is also why we have put a lot of attention into expanding ourselves in India. India is one of our highest priorities given the number of opportunities and potential for growth.
