It’s inspiring to work with a company that puts customers first and is obsessive about addressing their needs, and that’s what we will deliver.” 

Siva further added that “The Indian customer has never been so spoilt for choice as today – opening up a plethora of choices in every category. And to stay on their shopping list, it is important to have an ear to the ground, get customer feedback and make it work across the enterprise – and that’s what makes ITC Foods a delightful partnership. Their willingness to experiment, innovate and customer-first philosophy makes all the difference.”
