Introduction

Tata Consumer Products is one of India's leading FMCG companies, with a diverse portfolio of beloved brands including Tata Tea, Tata Salt, Tata Sampann, and Tetley. With an extensive distribution network spanning thousands of distributors and vendors across India, the company serves millions of consumers nationwide. Managing communication and engagement across this vast network while maintaining seamless brand experiences has been crucial to their continued growth and market leadership.
