Weighting: Brand-event budget (9/15) · Stakeholder accessibility (12/15) · Strategic alignment (10/15) · ₹1K Cr growth + MasterChef (12/15) · Public email coverage (4/10) · 7L+ retail (10/10) · Noida-based (5/7)
Priority rank: #23 of 35 new FMCG prospects. MasterChef India Season 9 partnership = high-leverage consumer touchpoint. ₹1K → ₹5K Cr growth trajectory = strong investment appetite.
Approach: Founder → foods@dsgroup.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED via DS Group FAQ) or ds@dsgroup.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) as first touch. Private group + MasterChef partnership = high-leverage outreach.
Warm-intro paths: (a) Via MasterChef India network (Catch is current S9 partner). (b) Via DS Group conglomerate network (Rajnigandha + Pulse + Pass Pass). (c) Via Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) networks. (d) Via Noida/Delhi NCR business chambers.
Cold pitch angle (if approved): Pitch TPH for the MasterChef India S9 Catch Activation Tour (5-city) — leveraging the MasterChef partnership. Reference Asian Paints Nilaya Anthology as design pedigree.
