Chairman & MD of Manpasand Beverages Ltd, Dhirendra Singh said, “The particular quarter was challenging due to the rollout of GST. However, a few strategic steps taken by us in the previous quarters, such as streamlining our production capacity, digitizing procurement process and realignment of supply chain, have helped us to navigate in this new tax structure. As a company, we have always stayed close to our roots and markets. Acting on this philosophy, we went for significantly increasing our distribution network through new alliances and initiatives. The outcome has been overwhelming. It has helped us to gain foothold in newer markets and has also captured the imagination of our consumers and stakeholders.”

Company’s flagship brand, ‘Mango Sip’, a mango-based fruit drink, is strategically focused towards customers primarily based in semi urban and rural markets. With a toe-hold in the market and ever aligned to the changing preferences of the consumers to offer them with more healthier alternatives, Manpasand launched its ‘Fruits Up’ range of products that offers fruit drinks and carbonated fruit drinks in different flavours, two years ago. “Fruits UP” brand has crossed the milestone of Rs. 180+ crore in FY17, benefiting from its first movers advantage in the carbonated fruits juice category. With an aim to introduce more innovative and healthier products, the company further introduced a bouquet of quality beverages. The company forayed into the packaged tender coconut water segment through their brand, ‘Coco Sip.’ In terms of health drinks, ‘Manpasand ORS’ is afloat in North Eastern and soon has plans to go pan India. The company has also entered the traditional Indian drink segment under the brand name of Jeera Sip.
