"Winning in Rural is still essential to developing a scale business in India. And this requires being plural in approach in a profitable way - serving multiple segments like Govt. servants, businessmen, farmers and people associated with agriculture. Awareness and access are still big opportunities that companies need to address".

"India’s appetite for new experiences, tastes and flavours keeps growing! Events like ‘’MASSMERIZE’’ help to make sense of all the different developments in the Indian consumption space and facilitate the generation of focussed strategies. In today’s environment, relying on growth from a single channel is unsustainable. Successful business owners understand the value that comes from sales in multiple places and technology has finally caught up, now able to address the demands of both buyers and sellers in an omnichannel world. Omni-channel marketing, then, becomes more about providing an experience — the omni-channel customer experience — transcending any one medium and simply providing shoppers what they want, when they want".

"India has emerged as one of the most attractive investment destinations in the world with increasing disposable incomes, rapid industrialization and a significant shift in the demographic pattern. Among the key contributors to India’s growth story have been consumer-centric sectors such as Retail, FMCG and e-Commerce. The several key policy reforms by the Government in the recent past is all set to further strengthen the ‘ease of doing business’ ecosystem in these sectors. MASSMERIZE is an effort of the FICCI Retail, FMCG and E - Commerce Committee to understand and unleash the potential of India’s most dynamic sectors - Retail, Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) & E - Commerce. As always, I look forward to this year’s event with hopes for an even greater distillation of the spirit of collaboration, communication and decision making"

Mr. Pankaj Patel

MASSMERIZE brilliantly captures all the factors that are going to play a critical role in shaping the growth of companies in Retail, FMCG and e commerce sectors over the next decade & further. The good news is that the government has started many initiatives besides ‘Make in India’, such as ‘Skill India’ to address the issue of skill shortage and ‘Smart cities’, to cope with the challenge of growing urbanization, ‘Digital India’ to strengthen digital infrastructure & delivering services digitally among others, that address some of the crucial challenges being faced by these consume centric sectors. The government’s encouragement & support to the entrepreneurs is very inspiring and this focus on ‘Start Up India’ will drive significant economic growth in the country. However, challenges continue to remain, including some that are specific to these sectors. MASSMERIZE 2017 with an inventive theme of ‘’KONNECTED Consumer’’ would attempt to address the challenges pertinent to the retail, FMCG and e commerce space of the country through an exclusive policy dialogue between the concerned stakeholders.
