Nirmal Nair, CEO and Founder, Sempera Organics, Inc.

Nirmal has been thinking about fungi, food and wellness for over a decade, so he bought a farm land with Redwoods “just for fun.” At the time, his day job was CMO at Clickatell, a global technology leader and innovator in mobile messaging and commerce. At Clickatell, he helped build revenues from $50M to over $100M, led the team that launched the game-changing Chat Commerce platform—and coined the term itself—that’s rapidly changing the way we interact with the brands on mobile phones.

But always in the back of this foodie’s mind, was fungi and how he could completely upend it’s visibility and elevate it to its rightful place in the world of fantastic-tasting healthy eating. In 2020, he founded Sempera to do just that. From his initial training as a mechanical engineer to software to digital video to mobile to food and nutrition; Nirmal has built his career paving new paths. He’s got big plans on the horizon for Sempera.

The Conscious Consumer 

January 20, 2023
Nirmal Nair, CEO and Founder, Sempera Organics, Inc.
While many like to identify themselves as “Conscious Consumers,” the degree to which this is practiced daily varies widely. There is no single “recipe” to easily become a “Conscious Consumer.” It necessitates individual thoughtfulness about the chain of events connected to every purchasing decision one makes. Besides every...
