Vinesh Chandrakant

April 2026 · 3 min read

In 2019, Vinesh Chandrakant founded CBD Store India with a clear and carefully framed mission: to bring relief and recovery to anyone who could benefit from CBD and AYUSH-approved Vijaya Extract, within a legal and medically supervised framework. India’s relationship with cannabis as medicine is ancient — the Vedas list it among the five essential plants, Ayurveda reveres it as “Vijaya” (“the conqueror”) — and modern research has quietly rebuilt the case. Vinesh’s company exists at the point where that ancient knowledge and contemporary legitimacy finally meet.

Based in Mumbai and operating as a unit of Indus Dreaming, CBD Store India is a curated online store where every product is sold only after a prescription from a licensed doctor. It is one of the few platforms offering AYUSH-approved Vijaya Extract medication, and it operates in strict compliance with The Indian Narcotic Drugs & Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. The product range covers multi-herbal cannabis elixirs that blend THC, CBD, and potent herbs to support sleep, anxiety, pain, and depression, alongside a wider wellness ecosystem: adaptogenic mushroom products (Reishi, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps), dog-friendly CBD oils for anxious or ageing pets, hemp seed oil for skin and hair, CBD gummies, and organic tinctures.

What distinguishes the store in a crowded category is its insistence on consultation. Expert doctors offer free consultations to every customer — to ensure that dosage, format, and use-case are right before any purchase. That safety-first approach has made the platform a trusted one for people navigating chronic pain, neurological conditions, end-of-life care, and complex mental-health comorbidities. The store has also developed a quiet parallel ecosystem: sacred yoga and wellness retreats in Goa, one-on-one sessions with artists and healers, and initiatives supporting the armed forces, women empowerment, and children with epilepsy and autism.

What Vinesh has built is therefore much larger than a shop. It is a conscious wellness sanctuary — a space where cannabis as medicine is being restored to its rightful, carefully supervised role in Indian health, and where every purchase is wrapped in education, accountability, and genuine care. For anyone considering CBD or Vijaya Extract for a medical condition, this is the gateway that does the heavy lifting of verification first.
