With Covid-19, operating a business has never been more difficult.
And yet, the vegan market is exploding worldwide, and small businesses are struggling to keep up.
Big businesses are entering the plant-based space. This is great news for the sustainability of the planet.
But what about you?
We work with pioneering plant-based food brands that want to grow their business and stand out in the market.
We also support major brands to adopt more plant-based food products.
We serve Quick Service Retail, Consumer Packaged Goods, Retailers and Manufacturers of plant-based foods.
Are you struggling with any of these?
Plant-based Insight

The traditional business model did not value the sustainability of the planet and how a business treats other stakeholders.
At Purpose with Profit (PwP), we have developed our own methodology to measure business success based on Purpose, People, Planet strategies as well as Profit.
The rise of the conscious consumer means these additional pillars will enable your business to grow into the future and outshine a crowded marketplace.
Many purpose-led businesses fail to secure their Profit drivers before expansion, limiting their growth, and risking their business. While others focus on profit, and their real purpose is hidden behind the scenes.
PwP is led by Bob Ratnarajah; founder, CEO, and Entrepreneur in Residence, with over 20 years of experience in business strategy.
Bob Ratnarajah (CEO)
Bob is an award-winning strategic finance practitioner, who has spent twenty years guiding businesses of all sizes.
Bob’s expertise comes from the field of business analysis and accounting, and he can paint stories with data, using scorecards. He has worked in a diverse range of industries and has built budgets from start-up to $500M.
A plant-based thought leader, Bob also founded and nurtured a plant-based community called V Stars, with over 2500 members. He knows firsthand the hard and heartfelt work of plant-based business entrepreneurs.
As a speaker and facilitator of industry events, Bob shares unique & motivational insights into the plant-based industry:
- The five reasons people are moving in a plant-based direction. (World Vegfest, USA, 2012)
- How businesses can adapt to the conscious consumer (Disruption in Food & Sustainability, Singapore, 2019)

Experts Network
To grow your business to the next level, advisors are often needed to provide new insight. At PwP, we can introduce you to talented experts with commercial or industry experience, who are supporting the growth of plant-based businesses.

Sitting with Bob allowed me to step out of the everyday operation and step into a business mindset. Bob's Ready for Growth Diagnostic provided valuable insight as to how to monitor plant & purpose-based business and it brings in my personal success as well.
Having worked in senior management roles, what impressed me the most was his experience and depth of industry knowledge.
