FARM FORWARD, A processing facility at CG Corp’s MFP in
Rajasthan’s Roopangarh
When Varun Chaudhury, executive director of Nepal-based CG Corp Global, the makers of Wai Wai noodles, applied to build a food park in India, he expected the effort to be an extension of the work his company already does. A leader in the food processing industry, the Rs 13,000 crore conglomerate’s business in India spans several sectors, from FMCG (fast moving consumer goods) to hospitality. Nonetheless, Chaudhury, who is steering the group’s FMCG arm, says he found the experience unexpectedly challenging, with what he describes as complicated and stringent regulations.
