THE SITUATION

The client is a renowned Indian FMCG brand specialising in traditional sweets — gulab jamun, rasgulla, jalebi, barfi, peda — and a diverse range of savoury snacks including namkeens, farsans, and dry fruits, known for its traditional recipes and consistent quality. Despite strong product credibility, the brand's scalability sat below its true potential — held back by intense category competition, limited differentiation, and seasonal demand swings.
