SUMMARY

- Before that, he spent over three decades in Indian consumer, most recently as the CEO and Managing Director of Godrej Consumer Products.
- In this conversation, part of our India Series, Vivek breaks down why the playbook for building consumer companies in India is fundamentally different from the US or China, why the Indian consumer ecosystem is more nuanced than most global investors realize, and why the biggest talent gap in Indian startups today is not in building, but in scaling up.
