India Food forum was formed in 2008 with support from the MoFPI (Ministry
of Food Processing Industries) and with a clear goal to create a platform that
gets all the stakeholders of the Food Retail & Food Service ecosystem under
one roof to learn from each other and grow together. India Food Forum aimed
to be the most powerful food B2B intelligence event where the attendees find
knowledge, connections, ideas, inspiration and new products.

In its 17th edition now, India Food Forum has become the largest B2B
event hosting the end-to-end of food business enablement – from
product sourcing, retail tech innovation trends to grocery retailing
produ
& food
foo service best practices – through a mega 2 day conference,
zoned exhibitions, partner networking and industry awards.

If there’s a festival celebrating

partnerships between modern
consumer brands and retail,
it’s India Food Forum!

FUTURE
Given India’s food ingredients and cuisine diversity, it is little wonder that
this vast market is home to numerous success stories when it comes to both

FORWARD
brand creation and retail case studies. At India Food Forum, we bring together
some of the extraordinary brands whose growth stories can serve as powerful

STAR BRAND
masterclasses for both emerging and established enterprises.

Star Progressive Grocer

India is a nation of shopkeepers. Modern supermarket chains only contribute
to less than 10% of the grocery retail market. The rest is served by the local

STAR supermarkets or grocers who are closest to the customers in the hinterlands
of India. India Food Forum has taken the initiative to felicitate some of the
supermarkets of Bharat that have modernized with changing times and made
grocery shopping an enjoyable experience for their valued customers.
