PepsiCo's largest franchisee outside the US, operating across 14 countries in South Asia and Africa
Varun Beverages is India's second-largest FMCG player and PepsiCo's primary production and distribution partner across South Asia and Africa.

Active project work centers on integration flows, inventory optimization, and compliance automation, while pain points cluster around dispatch timing, forecasting accuracy, and material receipt discrepancies—typical of high-volume, multi-country beverage distribution.
