IndustriesFood and Retail

We have developed India entry strategies for leading global companies, catalysed global success for established Indian entities now seeking global market leadership and even trained the senior most management of the largest companies in our executive education programs in partnership with Cornell University.

We take pride in our depth of understanding of the Indian food sector which has been marked with double digit growth and is the largest segment of retail market in India. India is the largest producer and consumer of food in the world. Increase in disposable income, rapid urbanization, high awareness level as well as efficiency in value chain are few key growth drivers for the processed food industry. Additionally, increasing penetration of modern retail chains, recent spurt in e-commerce, and innovation in food packaging, processing and technology have also created new business opportunities for investors. Fast paced urban life and rapidly shifting lifestyles have triggered demand for many food products such as RTE, fortified and functional food and beverages.

Our diverse team of experts who combine the intricacies of the evolving food science with the dynamics of the consumer markets help our clients penetrate the growing Indian segment. At the other end, we catalyze global success for established Indian companies now seeking market leadership in established and emerging markets.
