We've built tremendous momentum, but we believe we're only beginning to realize what JUNI can become."

"When we started JUNI, we wanted to build something that fits naturally into people's routines and helps them feel calmer, more present, and more like themselves," said co-founder Jay Shetty. "Seeing that vision translate into this kind of growth is incredibly meaningful. More than anything, it tells us JUNI is becoming part of people's everyday lives and that means everything to us."

"This recognition belongs to everyone who has made JUNI part of their daily lives," said Radhi Devlukia, co-founder of JUNI. "Our mission has always been to infuse health and happiness into every sip. Seeing that mission come to life and this community grow is incredibly special.
