By aligning our products and marketing strategies with their preferences for health, wellness, sustainability, and digital engagement, we aim to build strong relationships and earn their loyalty, establishing ourselves as a leading choice for the new age consumer.

5. Collaboration with Passionate Entrepreneurs: The platform is committed to partnering with passionate entrepreneurs across the food sector. By leveraging GRM's resources and expertise, 10X Ventures will help these entrepreneurs turn their innovative ideas into successful ventures.

6. Investment Plans: In its first phase, 10X Ventures plans to invest 200 Cr through a combination of cash and equity swaps. The ticket size for acquisitions will range from 20 Cr to 40 Cr, ensuring a broad scope for strategic investments.

10X Ventures will leverage GRM's robust teams, including marketing, distribution, sales, and supply chain, to rejuvenate its brands. Embracing an entrepreneurial mindset, these teams will treat each brand as a startup, focusing on quick innovation in concepts, product lines, and categories. This approach will enable GRM to rapidly adapt to market dynamics and consumer preferences.

" The launch of 10X Ventures marks a pivotal step in our ongoing commitment to innovation and leadership in the FMCG sector.
