  • Vendor & Supply Chain Advisory

  • Identify reliable vendors for machinery, refrigeration, packaging, and raw materials.
  • Advise on establishing a cold chain logistics network for procurement and distribution.
  • Quality & Safety

  • Develop a Quality Control and Assurance (QC / QA) framework, including testing protocols, record keeping, and microbial testing schedules.
  • Implement food safety systems like HACCP / ISO 22000 (if applicable).
  • Operational Optimization

  • Recommend cost-effective solutions for power, water, waste management, and manpower planning.
  • Provide a roadmap for scaling production, optimizing costs, and achieving sustainable operations.

  • Present progress reports to the management team on milestones and key deliverables.
  • Key Deliverables

  • Complete feasibility report and project plan
  • Detailed machinery and vendor recommendation report

  • 8–15 years of experience in FMCG / Food Processing Industry, with at least 3 years in ice cream, frozen desserts, or dairy manufacturing setup.
  • Proven experience in plant setup, operations optimization, and quality / regulatory compliance.
  • Familiarity with Indian food standards (FSSAI, BIS, ISO 22000, HACCP).
  • Strong network of equipment vendors and suppliers within the FMCG domain.
