Weighting: Brand-event budget (8/15) · Stakeholder accessibility (12/15) · Strategic alignment (10/15) · MDH rivalry + 45-yr legacy (13/15) · Public email coverage (4/10) · 1M+ retail (10/10) · Mumbai-based (5/7)
Priority rank: #21 of 35 new FMCG prospects. Everest vs MDH rivalry = unique competitive pitch angle. 2nd-gen Shah brothers (Sanjeev + Rajiv + Ashok) = strong family governance. Private (unlisted) company = direct CMD-level access possible.
Approach: Founder → customercare@everestspices.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) or sanjeev.shah@everestspices.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED via Salezshark) as first touch. Private company + family-owned = direct CMD access possible.
Warm-intro paths: (a) Via Spice Board India (Ministry of Commerce). (b) Via All India Spices Exporters Forum. (c) Via Harvard OPM network (Rajiv Shah alumnus). (d) Via DLC Mumbai (Sanjeev Shah is member).
Cold pitch angle (if approved): Pitch TPH for the Everest vs MDH Spice Wars Campaign (10-city) — leveraging Everest's #2 spice position + signature regional masalas. Reference Asian Paints Nilaya Anthology as design pedigree.
