The present study analysed consumers' attitudes and perceptions towards a vegan lifestyle in Ludhiana city. The results revealed that animal welfare, personal health, and environmental safety were the primary reasons for adopting veganism. Perceptions of consumers towards a vegan lifestyle with demographic variables were found to be non-significant. Vegan consumers perceived veganism as a lifestyle (3.47). Three important factors were identified: vegan consumers perceived veganism as a lifestyle, a vegan lifestyle is difficult to follow, and veganism leads to a moral life. Consumers were satisfied with their decision to adopt a vegan lifestyle. The study emphasized environmental and health concerns. To address growing concerns about a vegan lifestyle, marketers should emphasise the ease of access to vegan products for consumers.
