| Project | Est. Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| MTR 100-Year Heritage Campaign (5-city) | ₹2-3 Cr (one-time) | Museum-grade campaign + 5-city activation |
| MTR 3-Minute Breakfast Range Launch (10-city) | ₹2-4 Cr/yr | AR cooking demo + sampling + 10-city launch |
| MTR Dosa/Idli Batter South India Tour (8-city) | ₹1-2 Cr/yr | AR breakfast experience + batter sampling |

Weighting: Brand-event budget (10/15) · Stakeholder accessibility (12/15) · Strategic alignment (10/15) · 100-yr legacy (14/15) · Public email coverage (5/10) · Pan-India + 60+ countries (10/10) · Bengaluru-based (5/7)
Priority rank: #20 of 35 new FMCG prospects. 100-yr heritage since 1924 = unique heritage pitch angle. Orkla ASA parent (Norway) = global validation. 3-Minute Breakfast range = strong new growth angle.
Approach: Founder → contactus@orklaindia.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) or investors@orklaindia.com (PUBLIC-VERIFIED) as first touch. Foreign parent = Orkla ASA HQ approval may be needed for major partnerships.
Warm-intro paths: (a) Via Orkla ASA network (Norway parent). (b) Via Eastern Condiments (new acquisition, R6 B10 cross-portfolio). (c) Via Bengaluru food industry networks. (d) Via NRI/global Indian food market.
Cold pitch angle (if approved): Pitch TPH for the MTR 100-Year Heritage Campaign (5-city) — leveraging Mavalli Tiffin Room's iconic 1924 founding. Reference Asian Paints Nilaya Anthology as design pedigree.
