(51:56) - Outro

In today's episode, we sit down with Dr. Viju Jacob of Synthite Industries and NatXtra Supplements, the man behind one of the world's largest spice extract businesses.
We discuss why he enters markets at number four instead of chasing the top, the hidden costs of being number one, and how patience became his sharpest weapon. He explains why mastering one business beats early diversification, and the no-shortcuts path that turned a single product into a global operation.
We also discuss ”fairy dusting" in supplements, where the label promises an ingredient that is barely inside, and why China out-yields India on the same crops. A clear look at how empires are built slowly, and the rules you can apply to your own business.
