The 2018 chapter of India Food Forum, held from 17-19 January at Bombay Exhibition Centre, was a landmark milestone for India’s food retail industry.
Powered by Sri Sri Tattva, the 11th annual mega congregation of India Food Forum – India’s most comprehensive platform for ideas and innovations in the food, FMCG and HoReCa sector – was power-packed with interactive and focused panel discussions, workshops, exhibition, master-classes, product launch pads, awards and an array of other activities.
Delivering his keynote address, Krish Iyer, Chairman, India Food Forum 2018 and President & CEO, Walmart India said, “We are seeing a transformation unfolding before us – be it FDI reforms in food retail or the implementation of path-breaking initiatives like GST. All these make the country a unique and priority investment destination.” Expressing his excitement at being part of this eventful journey that will enable India to move ahead on the path of higher rural income, improved farm infrastructure, world class last mile distribution and retail infrastructure in the country, Iyer said, “Today’s tech-savvy generation and the rapid increase in internet and smartphone penetration is driving the evolution of the food segment. Their preference to engage with grocers and retailers on their own terms has brought a tectonic shift in the consumption patterns and has made technology a necessary tool to offer the most relevant value propositions such as experience, convenience, price and choice.”
