CONTEXT
External Context: In AlcoBev categories, we are adding 20 Million new people to the legal drinking age every year. India is the world’s largest whisky market while categories beyond whisky have seen a strong uptake in the last 5 years – Single Malts, Vodka, Gin, Wine, RTD, Mixers etc
.
Complexity of Market: Alcohol is a state subject in India – implying that rules/regulations and pricing is different in each states. This impacts where we manufacture and the subsequent GTM significantly.
Internal Context: PR India is Pernod Ricard’s largest market in volume and second largest in revenue / profit. It is one of the group’s 4 ‘must win’ markets. We have a strong product portfolio across categories and price points. PRI is growing at fast pace.
Future Outlook: To leverage the tremendous opportunity that India as a market presents, we need to be more agile in deploying digital solutions. All of this will take laser sharp project management and a constant check to ensure that our strategy is relevant. We need to reach newer consumers and premiumize the buying decisions of the existing ones.
