“FSIPL has been at the forefront of providing innovative and ready-to-cook solutions to the HORECA industry, driving growth for our customers,” said Mr. Mariwala. 

“We are helping them to manage inflation and to address the issue the less availability of labour. Also post Covid all institutions (institutional buyers) have decided to simplify their operations by sourcing processed and ready-to-cook products,” he said.
