Bisleri to double sales in two years;

India's largest bottled water brand Bisleri is "not selling", said Jayanti Chauhan, the 37-year-old heir to the business that her father founded, as she firmly settles into the driving seat.
The vice-chairperson of Bisleri International Pvt. Ltd has also set a target to more than double the company's revenue to $5,000 crore by 2025, from just over 12,300 crores in FY23.
In an interview on Wednesday, JRC, as she is popularly known within the company, said she is supercharging the 54-year-old brand to appeal to Gen-Z consumers, stepping up manufacturing to expand its footprint to reach more con- summers, and grab a larger share of the $8.5 billion carbonated soft drinks (CSD) market.
Jayanti Ramesh Chauhan, who has been part of Bisleri for the last 14 years, agreed that earlieshe was "a little bit restricted", but now, she is involved in "pretty much everything". It was her first media interaction since the cessation of talks between Bisleri International and Tata Consumer Products Ltd (TCPL).
In March, TCPL informed exchanges about the end of its negotiations to buy Bisleri, stating that it had not entered a definitive agreement or binding commitment with the company. According to an Eco- nomic Times report in November, TCPL was in talks to buy the packaged water brand for €6,000-7,000 crore.
On Wednesday, Chauhan said the decision to grow the business organically was firmed up just before the onset of the pandemic; however, execution was speeded up over the last 12 months.
The decision to not sell the business to TCPL was "mutual", she said. "A lot of people approached us; we wanted to hear them out to see what could be done, or what different routes could be taken. But I must admit, most of those meetings were done by my father and I was probably in only one or two of them because I was busy working," Chauhan said.
She added that nobody in the company wanted to sell the business. "Everyone was quite happy with the way business was, and now, we have a vision of being a 15,000-crore company by 2025,"she said.
"We have an excellent team of directors, CEOs, professionals, who I am very comfortable working with and who are great at guiding me, who listen and take feedback when I have something to say; when I have a vision, they help me achieve that vision. So, there is no stress as such, in fact, on me personally, in the business, and I have been working in this business for roughly around 14 years now," Chauhan added.
Bisleri was founded by Italian Signor Felice Bisleri in 1969, and the brand was acquired in India by Jayanti's father Ramesh Chauhan for 24 lakh in the same year. Today, it has 128 operational plants in India which are either directly owned by the company or by co-packers, and a network of nearly 6,000 distributors. Bisleri, which launched its carbonated soft drinks (CSD) portfolio in 2016, expanded the business last month, hiring actors on streaming platforms to back new product launches such as Bisleri Pop, Bisleri Rev cola, and Bisleri Spyci Jeera.
"Most of the projects that we're doing have been developed in-house. For example, CSD has been developed i in-house; we did not use any sort of agency or anything like that. Our own team developed each of these flavours," she said.
Chauhan expects the CSD business to touch 1500 crore over the next four years. "Even if we get minor percentage of the market, it would make it a couple of 100 crore business. We can make it at 500 crore business, over the next four years or so, ev if we get like 1 or 2% market share, which is pretty big to start with," she said.
Chauhan new expects products to con- tribute about 10% of the company's business with the rest coming from Bisleri.
Bisleri is also increasing its investments in manufacturing, along with its co-packers. "What we are doing is scaling up our capacities to meet the demand in the market. We are helping our co-packers and franchisees. All the manufacturing units have been scaled up in order to have faster and newer machinery," she said.
Chauhan said the focus is to drive growth in urban markets. "The urban market is pretty big there are 8,000 towns and right now, we are focusing on distributing in all of these towns. We are not present everywhere, yet. So, we have to really focus on our distribution network, and scale up our manufacturing for CSD," she said.
