Launching 5th edition of VCCircle Consumer & Retail Investment Summit; block your calendar today

Indian consumer industry story remains interesting despite economic growth dipping to its lowest level in the decade. Ambitious middle class demands, rising income allowing for more discretionary spending apart from consumers’ willingness to experiment products coupled with a sharp elevation in rural sales have taken Indian consumer industry to a different level.

In addition to the growth potential witnessed in the sector, easing of FDI rules in multi-brand retail companies and rupee depreciation have encouraged global honchos to tweak their strategies to suit Indian taste and preferences, giving oversees investors an edge to allocate more funds to Indian consumer driven industries. The pace at which the consumer market is moving, rightly integrating with the upcoming elections, is also boosting domestic investor sentiments to bank on FMCG, QSR businesses, wellness services, luxury brands, sports equipments & fitness space, hotel & tourism industry among others.

Taking cues from industry shifts and success of our previous editions, VCCircle is organising the 5th edition of its Consumer & Retail Investment Summit to assess the future path for the consumer industry. The event is scheduled to be held on March 13, 2014 at Trident Nariman Point, Mumbai.
