Beyond the Basics: A Deeper Dive into Trends 

Forget fleeting fads – this blog explores the trends with staying power, fueled by social, economic, and cultural shifts.  

Fusion Frenzy:  Indian palates are becoming more adventurous.

Consumers are eager to explore new flavor profiles while staying connected to their beloved Indian taste buds. 

Health & Wellness Focus: Gone are the days of solely indulging. Today's Indian consumers are increasingly health-conscious, seeking out functional foods and beverages that promote well-being. This translates into a rise in products like fermented drinks with Ayurvedic ingredients and plant-based protein alternatives.
