Viraj Bahl, former owner of Fun Foods
What potential do you see in the Indian convenience food market?
The potential is huge as convenience foods occupy the majority of the Indian retail market. This is what is motivating foreign players to enter into the Indian market. In 2010, there would be at least five new global brands.
Wouldn’t it be a threat for Indian cos?
Foreign players already existed in the Indian market and the competition for Indian players was always tough. But it’s necessary that either you enter into a category where no other players are present or you enter into a category where you create a proper positioning.
‘Create a proper positioning’? How?
It’s necessary that you have a USP, which is based on a proper utility function. We always wanted Fun Foods to be a one-stop-brand for food.
In the convenience food segment, which is the most lucrative space?
‘Ready to cook’ is the most lucrative space as the Indian market is not mature enough for the ‘ready to eat’ category. On the contrary, ‘ready to cook’ makes cooking much more convenient for today’s consumers; and hence it’s an easier way to attract consumers.
