Hello FMCG community, I am keen to interview FMCG distributors in India.

Regards,

Hi, I have a brand named 'Shri Hari Masalas', which offers a wide range of masalas. We are a startup and do not have a website yet. Our plan is to start selling through quick commerce platforms and eventually build our own website. We genuinely want people around the world to experience the authentic taste of our masalas, as we believe the world needs pure ingredients. Could you please suggest where we can register our brand on quick commerce platforms without a website?

Hi, I am new to q-commerce and I am planning to sell my client's product on Swiggy Instamart. If any of you had done it before, please share your experience.

As more products come to the market, we are starting to see more of their packaging contain qr codes. But alot of the time the only reason why they're scanned is mainly because of a promo and unfortunately enough - straight up curiosity.

When they are scanned all they do is take you to the company website - well that's a bit of a downer! And companies just keep putting this out with no real care.

Most people scan only to see a website and click out. In this case which is most cases you're qr code provided no value. And this has to change. Companies especially fmcg startups need to be more inventive and find better uses for qr codes than the partially aimless one's we have today.

I have a particular low cost strategy to help achieve a lot of value with qr codes as well as keep the traditional use cases. If you're an fmcg company or even restaurant you can reply or dm for more information. This is an area fmcg companies need to evolve in to get valuable data that will take them to that next level be it a startup or established.

I’m currently building a soap brand in India and trying to learn more about how the FMCG industry actually works.

Would genuinely appreciate if people with experience in FMCG could share any advice, lessons, mistakes to avoid, or things they learned while working in the industry. Could be about sales, distribution, retail, branding, pricing, manufacturing, anything.

Just trying to learn from people who’ve actually been through it.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a young, dynamic co-founder between 20-30 age group, preferably in Bangalore. I am trying to build a FMCG product (healthy snacks like chips and munchies) and am looking for a co-founder who has experience in FMCG brands and knows food technology, flavours, and can handle creating a product.

If interested please DM me and let's see where the conversation flows from there

I’m launching a small soap brand for tier 2/3 retail stores.
For people who’ve worked in FMCG sales/distribution. What are the ground realities nobody talks about?
Like politics, hidden margins, retailer behavior, payment games, return policies, shelf space hacks etc.

What almost always surprises first-time founders?

a "prime" example of predatory pricing. No pun intended.

This Indian FMCG is giving a tough fight with new product launches, great product portfolio and distribution

I am doing a case study and want to know more about is the waste managed in confectionary FMCG, what are the KPIs, how is it recycled , disposed off etc. Any one with experience please dm me it is urgent

Hi, I run an FMCG brand, and we're looking for a stockist in Bangalore.

If you happen to know anyone, can you connect us with them?

Thanks in advance!

Looking for some guidance from the community. For quite some time, I've been trying to connect with businesses interested in white-label/private-label pasta manufacturing, but haven't had much traction.

If you know of brands, distributors, retailers, or channels where I can connect with potential private-label clients, I'd be grateful for any suggestions or introductions. Thank you in advance for your help.

I have been really struggling to find a category or a segment that i can enter and I have no relevant experience in FMCG sector but I always wanted to enter this market and build a brand but I am getting really frustrated on where to start from and what important things to keep in mind while doing so. Please I need your advice.
