Weighting: Brand-event budget (7/15) · Stakeholder accessibility (12/15) · Strategic alignment (10/15) · 30-yr legacy + 250+ products (13/15) · Public email coverage (4/10) · Pan-India + 30+ countries (9/10) · Chennai-based (4/7)
Priority rank: #24 of 35 new FMCG prospects. 250+ products, 700+ SKUs = strong multi-brand activation opportunity. PLI scheme recipient = strong financial validation. 2nd-gen family (Ashwin + Abishek) = strong family governance.
Approach: Founder → care@aachifoods.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) or ashwin.pandian@aachigroup.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED via ZoomInfo) as first touch. Private company + 2nd-gen family = direct access to Isaac family.
Warm-intro paths: (a) Via Spice Board India (Ministry of Commerce). (b) Via ICRA network (Aachi is ICRA rated). (c) Via Tamil Nadu industrial networks (CII Tamil Nadu, Madras Management Association). (d) Via Chennai business chambers (Madras Chamber).
Cold pitch angle (if approved): Pitch TPH for the Aachi 30-Year Heritage Campaign (5-city) — leveraging the founder's 30+ year journey. Reference Asian Paints Nilaya Anthology as design pedigree.
