The Food Founder Launches Strategic Playbook for India’s Aspiring Food Entrepreneurs

The Food Founder Launches Strategic Playbook for India’s Aspiring Food Entrepreneurs

New Delhi [India], November 26: With a large percentage of restaurants, cafes, and cloud kitchens shutting down within their first few years of operation, lack of structured business guidance–not lack of passion–is emerging as one of the biggest challenges for food entrepreneurs in India. Addressing this gap, The Food Founder, an initiative by Kerala-born food entrepreneur Sabah, has launched a dedicated business playbook designed to help founders build profitable and sustainable food ventures.

With India’s food services market expanding rapidly and consumers demanding better quality and consistency, industry observers note that structured entrepreneurial knowledge is becoming critical for survival and growth. The Food Founder aims to bridge that capability gap by offering practical, experience-based tools and guidance.

Sabah, who comes from a village in Kerala, spent nearly a decade working across the food industry–from kitchens and outlet operations to brand building, menu development, and business strategy. Over the years, he has contributed to ventures generating more than ₹15 crore in combined revenue. His on-ground failures, learnings, and rebuilds led to the creation of a streamlined framework meant to equip early-stage founders with clarity and direction.

The newly launched Food Founder Playbook, available at thefoodfounder.in, offers practical guidance for those planning to start a restaurant, cafe, or cloud kitchen, as well as owners seeking to fix or scale their existing business. The playbook covers concept design, operational planning, pricing strategy, financial forecasting, location and vendor management, brand communication, and customer retention–areas where many ventures struggle due to limited industry exposure.

Industry analysts note that India’s food services sector is expanding rapidly, driven by an evolving consumer market and rising demand for experiential dining. However, the same growth has intensified competition, pushing founders to adopt structured approaches rather than relying solely on passion or trial-and-error. Tools like the Food Founder Playbook, backed by real operational experience, provide a clearer roadmap for navigating this competitive landscape.

In addition to the playbook, Sabah plans to introduce workshops, templates, and mentorship modules tailored for first-time entrepreneurs and regional markets. He aims to make business knowledge accessible beyond metro cities, where many talented founders lack formal guidance but possess strong culinary potential.

Sabah says the objective is straightforward: “Most founders know food, but not the business of food. This playbook is built from real experience, not theory, and gives them the direction they wish they had on day one.”

The Food Founder Playbook is now available on thefoodfounder.in for entrepreneurs looking to build, revive, or scale their food business.

 Great Leaders Aren’t Born, They’re Recognised  The Rigorous Path to an Eduminds Doctorate

Admission to Eduminds Learning’s honorary and doctoral programs follows a structured and transparent process. Candidates are assessed on their professional achievements, research aptitude, and societal contributions.

At Eduminds Learning, every candidate’s journey begins with precision and integrity. Each application undergoes a comprehensive evaluation of professional achievements, research aptitude, and social impact, ensuring that only the most deserving profiles are considered. Candidates submit detailed credentials, published works, and records of leadership or innovation, which are then reviewed by an independent academic panel under the Kennedy University of Baptist framework. Upon successful review, shortlisted applicants receive a conditional offer letter, followed by registration and participation in a panel discussion round that assesses alignment with the program’s values. What distinguishes Eduminds Learning is its fully online and globally flexible model, allowing professionals across the Middle East to pursue prestigious doctorates without compromising their careers or mobility. Every recognition conferred be it academic or honorary is based purely on merit, authenticity, and evidence of real-world contribution, ensuring that each title awarded stands as a symbol of credibility, excellence, and lifelong achievement.

This merit-based evaluation ensures that every doctorate awarded stands as a verified symbol of excellence and contribution not just a credential, but a legacy.

A Vision Rooted in Purpose

Speaking about the initiative, the CEO & Founder of Eduminds Learning Mr. Devesh Rathore quoted :

“Our vision is to redefine how the world measures achievement. Experience, innovation, and service to society deserve academic honour equal to traditional scholarship. By partnering with Kennedy University of Baptist, we are enabling professionals in the Middle East and all over the world to earn globally respected recognition for what they have built, led, and contributed.

This vision aligns perfectly with Dubai’s global identity a city that celebrates knowledge, enterprise, and transformation. The convocation will not only honour individual excellence but also reinforce Dubai’s standing as a hub for intellectual capital and future-driven education.

M+V Altios Celebrates 25 Years of Driving Global Business Success in India

M+V Altios Celebrates 25 Years of Driving Global Business Success in India

New Delhi [India], November 24: M+V Altios, a key partner for international companies expanding into India, has reached a significant milestone: 25 years of operations that parallel India’s transformation from an emerging market to a core hub in global value chains.

From Market Entry to Internationalisation

German entrepreneur Klaus Maier and Francesco Motka founded M+V Altios in 2000 with a clear objective: make India accessible and operationally manageable for foreign companies working in or entering the Indian market. Two decades later, the company has evolved this purpose into “Internationalisation 360°” – a comprehensive model that integrates strategy, operations, compliance, and post-entry growth for companies expanding across borders.

The firm’s journey mirrors India’s rise as a global manufacturing and innovation centre. What started as a boutique consulting firm now operates as a nationwide organisation with 250+ professionals across 8 cities (Delhi, Gurgaon, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Mumbai, Hyderabad & Ahmedabad), supporting over 1,200 international companies across engineering, automotive, energy, healthcare, biotechnology, EV, precision industry, aerospace and defense, and consumer goods sectors.

India Strengthens Its Strategic Position

India has transformed from a destination market into a strategic node in global value chains. Companies now view India not merely as a consumer base, but as a hub for manufacturing, sourcing, and innovation. The country’s 7.5%+ GDP growth, 1.4 billion-strong workforce, and vibrant MSME ecosystem (contributing nearly 30% to GDP and 45% of exports) drive this transformation.

M+V Altios has witnessed this shift firsthand. European clients–especially family-owned Mittelstand and SME companies–no longer enter India merely to sell products. They now build R&D centers, establish sourcing clusters, and create local subsidiaries to serve Asia-Pacific markets directly from India.

The company joined the Altios International network in 2021, gaining access to 40+ offices across 25 countries. This integration enhances cross-border collaboration between Indian and international enterprises within one seamless ecosystem. Today, M+V Altios supports foreign companies establishing Indian operations while helping Indian firms expand into Europe, Southeast Asia, North America, and beyond–delivering strategic and sustainable global growth.

The 25-Year Evolution

M+V Altios has expanded its portfolio to match India’s liberalisation pace:

  • 2000 – Opened its first India office for market-entry consulting
  • 2006 – Added compliance, HR, and accounting services
  • 2012 – Introduced logistics and interim-management solutions
  • 2018 – Created sales-performance and efficiency verticals
  • 2021 – Joined the Altios International group
  • 2024 – Rolled out global-sourcing and supplier-development services

This progression mirrors India’s evolution from an import-driven economy to a manufacturing and innovation partner. It also reflects how the organization’s people and culture have evolved. Teams that initially understood primarily German business practices now operate as a truly multicultural organisation, working fluidly with French, Italian, American, and other global business cultures. This cross-cultural alignment enables M+V Altios to bridge communication styles, decision-making patterns, and corporate values–ensuring smoother collaborations and long-term partnerships between international companies and their Indian teams.

Creating Platforms for Global Leaders

For over a decade, India Day in Germany has brought together business leaders, policymakers, and entrepreneurs to explore India’s growth potential. M+V Altios hosts this flagship event, which has become a cornerstone for fostering Indo-European business dialogue and long-term partnerships. Building on this success, the company extended the concept to India through the Sales Networking Meet–a forum that connects C-level executives of foreign subsidiaries in India with government, financial, and industry stakeholders.

What began as a small gathering in 2010 has evolved into a powerful platform where senior leaders exchange insights on market entry, sales leadership, and cross-cultural alignment, bridging the gap between global strategy and local execution. Through editions in 2012, 2014, and 2025, the event has grown into a trusted meeting ground for international businesses, industry experts, and ecosystem partners.

The 2025 edition of the Sales Networking Meet held special significance as M+V Altios also celebrated 25 years in India–a milestone reflecting enduring partnerships and shared progress. The company plans to host India Day in Germany in 2026, reaffirming its commitment to international collaboration, followed by the Sales Networking Meet in 2027, continuing this cross-continental dialogue.

Both events serve the same purpose: strengthen the bridge between European SMEs and India’s dynamic market, empowering leaders to turn internationalisation into an enduring growth strategy.

The 3 Ps: People, Purpose, and the Next Phase

People: A people-first culture underlies every milestone. M+V Altios has built an ecosystem where long-standing employees and clients grow together–reflecting the deep trust, shared learning, and partnership that define its journey. Cross-functional teams across India and abroad continue to bridge cultural and business nuances, turning collaboration into a competitive advantage.

Purpose: Altios Vision 2030 guides the firm’s clear purpose: accelerate two-way growth by enabling global companies to scale in India and Indian enterprises to internationalise. This dual mission embodies sustainable globalisation, where opportunity flows in both directions.

Next Phase: As India advances toward a $5-trillion economy, M+V Altios envisions the country not merely as an investment destination, but as a launchpad for global collaboration and innovation. The next phase of growth will connect people, cultures, and capabilities–empowering businesses to think globally while acting locally.

Your trusted partner for SME’s internationalisation

We’re thrilled to be part of the ALTIOS Group. Its 30 years of existence guarantee the group’s success. Since our merger, we’ve offered German-speaking companies a wide range of services for their internationalisation projects worldwide. I’m delighted that the next 30 years will continue in the same direction: representing our clients’ interests in the best possible way, submitting proposals and offers, and constantly developing ourselves to fulfil our role as a leading international intermediary,” says Klaus Maier, ALTIOS Managing Partner and founder of M+V Altios.

Continuous growth has always played an important role since we founded ALTIOS. We will expand into many more countries in the coming years. This localisation strategy is essential to fulfil our quality promise and give our customers access to new markets. From 2022, we plan to open two new offices in Switzerland and Japan. We’ll establish further locations in the G30 countries over the next five years. We will continue to innovate by expanding existing business areas and developing new ones to support our customers with even better services,” continues Bruno Mascart, Managing Partner and co-founder of ALTIOS.

“India’s story and ours have grown together. Over 25 years, we’ve helped transform ambition into execution for global SMEs. As India becomes a $5-trillion innovation hub, we aim to deepen this partnership–bridging cultures, enabling two-way internationalisation, and making India a launchpad for sustainable global growth.” – Praveen Singhal, Managing Director, M+V Altios India.
