Pernod Ricard, the renowned French spirits producer, anticipates a triple increase in its sales within the Indian market over the next decade. This growth is projected to be driven by favorable macroeconomic trends, a positive demographic dividend, and the increasing preference for premiumization in Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) and imported brands.a Jean Touboul, Managing Director of Pernod Ricard India, envisions that the Indian market, presently positioned as the second-largest globally, holds the potential to ascend to a leadership position in the next 10-15 years, potentially surpassing the US market for the company.

“We are growing faster with the tailwinds in macroeconomics, in demographic and well India being the most populous country on earth, I am personally convinced that yes, we will be the market number one in Pernod Ricard at some point,” said Touboul.

However, he also added, “I just cannot tell you if it will be in 10 years, 15 years, that is not easy to predict but my conviction is that yes, one day India will be the market number one for Pernod Ricard.”

According to him, Pernod Ricard is experiencing double-digit growth for both Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) and robust double-digit growth for imported products in this market.

“As far as the net sales are concerned, it is obviously a key market in the current state of play and even more important for the growth and future results of the group because there is no doubt that India is a market that is extremely favourable,” he said.

Touboul also highlighted the intricacies of Indian regulations related to the alcohol trade, describing them as “complex.” He emphasized the necessity for simplifying these regulations to facilitate smoother business operations in the country.

“We are on the trajectory where we want to be able to triple our net sales in the next decade. That is our ambition. And to do that, we will go to more innovation,” he said.

Pernod Ricard boasts a global portfolio featuring more than 200 premium brands, including notable names like 100 Pipers, Chivas Regal, The Glenlivet, Absolut, Havana Club, and Jacob’s Creek. In addition to these, the company owns Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) brands such as Blenders Pride, Imperial Blue, and Royal Stag.

At present, Pernod Ricard’s Indian-made foreign liquor (IMFL) brand accounts for nearly 95 percent of its volumes and over 80 percent of its net sales.

“Today, the vast majority of our business in the Indian alcohol market is in the IMFL. That is also where we are particularly strong with our three main brands- Imperial Blue, Royal Stag and Blenders Pride.

“And we are enjoying historically double-digit growth with these brands as they are delivering quite well for us and for the Pernod Ricard group,” Touboul said.

As per Touboul, there is a growing demand among Indians for higher-quality beverages, and Pernod Ricard is committed to providing them with an expanded range of premium-quality products.

“There is premiumisation because the revenue per capita is increasing and it is a natural evolution for consumers when they have more revenue to push their consumption towards a better product with higher price point increases as well,” he said.

“We are here to go with this trend and as much as possible accelerate by proposing an ever more product of great quality and that helps consumers to trade up,” he said.

As part of the premiumisation drive Pernod Ricard will continue to innovate on the core brands – Imperial Blue, Blender’s Pride and Royal Stag.

“We will regularly come with line extensions for these products to again propose within this Seagram quality type of product, some diversified experience with diversified taste, diversified finish, whatever twist we put on the product to be able to provide the various experiences to our consumers,” he added.

It would have a process of continuous innovation and investment behind brands and look at other initiatives for expanding its portfolio, as it is launching a new Indian single malt Longitude 77.

“There is space to develop more and more premium products, which are also made in India. Our Indian single malt is a great example of that. We are at a price point which is parity with an international single malt of 12 years old, like Glenlivet 12 in our case because we know we are producing a very qualitative product in India,” he said.

Pernod Ricard is the owner of Chivas Brothers, a prominent Scotch whisky maker renowned for its popular single malt and blended Scotch whisky brands such as Chivas Regal, Ballantine’s, Royal Salute, and The Glenlivet. The company anticipates that a potential Free Trade Agreement (FTA) between the UK and India could be mutually beneficial for both nations.

It will help “develop the possibility in particular to import more qualitative product to India at a more reasonable price” and would be more accessible for a bigger part of the Indian population.

Moreover, if duty is waived on bulk imports of Scotch, it will help IMFL also.

“The IMFL that we do, we use Indian grain spirits and we mix that with Scotch malt that we import from Scotland obviously. So that is something that where we could have a benefit if there are lower custom duties on that part of the business,” he said.

Over the recent period, numerous spirit companies have ventured significantly into the Indian single malt category. Key players, including Diageo India, Radico Khaitan, John Distilleries, and DeVANS, are experiencing notable growth in this category.

The Best Source of Vegetarian Protein for You is Extremely Affordable and Organic

Protein Sprouts

Are you a vegetarian seeking protein-rich food alternatives? You’re lucky to land in the right place. The journey to discover nutrient rich options can be challenging for the most part, especially when you’re trying to meet your daily need for proteins. They are the foundation of a nutritious diet, and are essential for many body processes.

You might or might not have heard about this one, but the answer to all your questions is Vegetable Sprouts. Rich in proteins? Yes. Affordable? Yes. Accessible? Yes. And the best part is, that the preparation process is neither time consuming nor tedious. All you need is one raw ingredient and some water. 

The Importance of a Protein- rich Diet

A balanced diet is one that all rounded with all essential nutrients. But as we grow older, proteins begin to take the centre stage of all our health decisions. They are important macronutrients that play a role in tissue development and repair, immune support, and overall maintenance of our well-being. Here are a few more benefits of adding protein to your diet:

  1. For anyone trying to lose weight or build muscle, protein comes in as the first step in accelerating your process. 
  2. You need around half of your daily protein intake to make enzymes, which help with digestion, as well as new cells and other molecules.
  3. Protein is crucial for hormonal balance and regulation, particularly during the cell growth and change that occurs during puberty.
  4. It slows the ageing process by strengthening the muscles. 
  5. Consuming higher amounts of protein helps people retain their bone density as they age and significantly reduces their risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
  6. Higher protein intake has also been linked to lowering of the blood pressure. 

Why Vegetable Sprouts? 

Protein rich sprouts

Yes, they are different from lentil or “Moong” sprouts.

The most commonly found sprouts are those of lentils i.e. Moong, red lentils, chickpeas or green lentils. However, sprouts of beans and lentils are difficult to digest and are only suitable for athletes, children or those who are involved in long hours of manual labour.  Vegetable seeds sprout a white tail three to five days after they are soaked and allowed to germinate. They are the most concentrated type of nourishment found organically.

Here are 6 reasons why vegetable sprouts are the best solution:

  1. Nutrition Factor: Hippocrates Health Institute says that “These are one of the most nutritious whole foods on the planet, and are also 10 to 30 times more nutritious than the full grown vegetable”.
  2. Cost Effective: All you need is some vegetable seeds, which once sprouted multiply 3-15 times their weight. 
  3. Organic: No chemicals, herbicide or pesticides. You can trust that they’re pure because you’re both the manufacturer and consumer. 
  4. Easy: Just add water. (The full process is explained below)
  5. Freshness: You can pick and eat the same day without losing any nutrients.
  6. Environmental Friendly: There is absolutely no involvement of carbon heavy processes, or resources to prepare them; neither are any aeroplanes or fuel consumed to deliver these to you.

The most easily accessible and nutrient rich vegetable seeds found in India are those of Alfalfa, Radish, Clover and Fenugreek.

How To Prepare Vegetable Sprouts? 

What You Need:

  • A glass container
  • A cotton cloth
  • 2 tablespoons of Seeds of Alfafa, Radish, Clover or Fenugreek (sprout them separately)
  • Water

You can easily find these seeds on e-commerce sites like Amazon, or simply visit a plant nursery to get a handful of these seeds. 

Seed sprouts

Step 1: Rinse the seeds and place them in the glass container. Fill the container with water to soak up the seeds completely and an inch above that. Let your seeds soak overnight.

Step 2: The next morning, drain out the water from the container. Put your seeds in the centre of the cotton cloth and tightly tie the cloth so that the seeds are secured in a bundle.

Step 3: Place this bundle in a bowl and cover with a plate. Make sure your cloth is not in direct sunlight.

Step 4: Rinse the seeds with fresh filtered water twice a day, for the next 3-5 days. 

Step 5: The sprouting time will vary from seed to seed. Once your sprouts are grown out and long enough to eat, allow them to dry completely before storing. 

You can store them in a container for 5-7 days in the refrigerator.

How to Incorporate These In your Diet ? 

Sprouts can be used with salads (cucumber, tomato, carrot, bell peppers, beetroot, zucchini, broccoli, peas, green beans), fruits or can be consumed separately along with any meal. To take it as part of a healthy meal, prepare a plate, with 30% sprouts, 30% vegetables, 30% leafy greens and 10% toppings or dressings such as nuts, seeds or any dip of your choice. 

One of our favorites is sprouts snadwich, along with some leafy greens and home made mayonnaise. You can customise your own, to your taste and preferences.

Incorporating vegetable sprouts in one’s diet may be both healthful and enjoyable, thanks to their simplicity of sprouting at home and their wide range of culinary uses. Now that all the information is available to you, you should be able to enjoy its nutritional benefits and embrace the possibilities of plant- based protein substitutes.
