The India Food Forum (http://www.indiafoodforum.com/) was established in the year 2008 under the chairmanship of the then Food Processing Minister with India's leading manufacturers, marketers and retailers of food, grocery and FMCG products, all joining in to take up a series of support initiatives for the Indian food retail business.

The forum's sole purpose has been to connect all key stakeholders of food & grocery retail and HoReCa businesses, with their respective potential partners to collaborate for profitable growth, collectively work towards new category development, boost consumption, share global best practices, benchmark new standards, and serve customers efficiently. Comprising a 360-degree format of conference, exhibition, networking and industry awards, India Food Forum is unarguably India's most exciting and forward looking knowledge sharing venue for food, grocery and FMCG brands, distributors, marketers, grocery retailers and foodservice companies.
