In a world where viral trends often fade as quickly as they rise, some voices cut through the noise with purpose, power, and persistence. Revant Himatsingka, better known as Foodpharmer, is one such voice. He didn’t chase clout; he chased change. And in doing so, he turned his camera into a weapon of truth.
Revant could have taken the easy road. Corporate crores were within his reach, but he chose conviction over comfort. Instead of endorsing, he exposed. Instead of bowing, he battled. With sharp, fact-driven reels, he stripped away the glossy layers of deceptive food labels and showed millions what lay beneath: misleading claims, harmful ingredients, and the urgent need to #ReadTheLabel.
His courage sparked a movement. Big brands were forced to reformulate products. Families began to check what they were consuming. A simple act—reading a label—turned into a national call for accountability. Revant faced legal threats, but he stood his ground. His fight wasn’t for fame, but for fairness.
This is the kind of content that counts. The kind that transforms awareness into action, and viewers into changemakers.
On 18th September, The Better India Showcase, presented by Optum and supported by the M3M Foundation, honoured this fearless creator for good. But honouring Revant isn’t just about looking back—it’s about looking forward.
Because his story is not the final chapter. It is the prologue to yours.
His courage should remind us that one person can hold powerful corporations accountable. His innovation should push us to rethink how we use our skills, our platforms, and our voices. And his compassion should open our hearts to the fact that impact isn’t built on numbers—it’s built on meaning.
The Showcase may have ended, but the movement has just begun. Now it’s your turn.
- Ask yourself: What injustice do you see that no one else is calling out?
- What truth are you willing to stand for, even if it costs you comfort?
- How can your talent—whether it’s writing, speaking, coding, designing, or teaching—become a tool for change?
Revant proved that one creator with courage can make the powerful listen. Imagine what happens when thousands of us rise with the same conviction.
The baton is in your hands. Will you carry it forward?
