A long-time plant-medicine enthusiast, Shivraj's journey in the hemp and cannabis industry began when a family member had to go through the arduous pain of chemotherapy. Looking to find a natural solution for her, he came across cannabis extract and CBD products. He was surprised to see the impact they had in alleviating the chemo induced side-effects and improving her quality of life and soon learnt how they could help people with everyday ailments and issues as well.

Captivated by these medical benefits, he traveled overseas to learn more about such products from their manufacturers and realised where the world had reached with regard to the science and innovation in this industry. Realizing the tremendous value that these products bring, he felt that they should be made available to everyone. Thus was born Wholeleaf!
