PepsiCo’s senior executives, including Chairman and CEO Ramon Laguarta, met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New Delhi to reaffirm the company’s long-standing commitment to India.
Laguarta was joined by PepsiCo’s entire global board, representing the USD 91.8 billion company behind brands like Pepsi, Lays, Kurkure, Mountain Dew, 7 Up, Slice, and Aquafina. This is the first time in at least ten years that PepsiCo has brought its full global board to India. India is considered one of PepsiCo’s 13 core global markets. The company expects India to contribute more than 85 per cent of its future growth according to a media report.
The discussion focused on potential collaborations in manufacturing, sustainability, innovation, and community development. PepsiCo emphasized its dedication to supporting India’s long-term growth and extended birthday wishes to the Prime Minister.
Yashika Singh, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer and Head, Sustainability, PepsiCo India, said “Our focus at this time is our deep relationship with farmers. We work with 27,000 farmers across 14 states. Our focus is on regenerative agriculture, where we are showing how soil health is improved.”
