We are exploring opportunities within the frozen dessert and ice cream segment, with an emphasis on developing high-quality products backed by strong operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and scalable brand strategy.

To support this vision, we are seeking an experienced FMCG Consultant (Contractual Basis) with a strong background in food manufacturing setup, operational planning, and compliance—preferably in the dairy, frozen food, or confectionery sectors. The ideal candidate would also have the potential to transition into a leadership or CXO-level role upon the successful rollout of the brand.

  • Prepare and review project feasibility reports, cost estimations, and ROI models.
  • Recommend best practices for hygiene, workflow design, and quality assurance in line with FSSAI and BIS standards.

Regulatory & Compliance

  • Ensure compliance with IS 2802 : 2022, FSSAI Dairy Product Standards, and food safety audits.
  • Process Development

  • Assist in standardizing formulations, raw material sourcing, and production SOPs for ice cream and related frozen desserts.
  • Recommend equipment specifications (mixing, pasteurization, homogenization, aging, freezing, cold storage, and packaging lines).
  • 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.
  • Reporting & Documentation

  • Prepare detailed reports, documentation templates, and SOPs.
  • 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
  • Compliance roadmap (FSSAI, BIS, PCB, Factory Licence, etc.)
  • SOPs for production, hygiene, and quality assurance
  • Final operational setup and commissioning guidance
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s / Master’s in Food Technology, Dairy Technology, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
  • 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.
  • Skills Required

  • Technical understanding of ice cream manufacturing process
