The Chamber for Advancement of Small and Medium Businesses (CASMB), in collaboration with the Association of Food Scientists & Technologists India (AFSTI), Mumbai Chapter, organised KFC’s India Sahyog Program at the FDA Maharashtra Hall in BKC, Mumbai recently. The day-long initiative brought together stakeholders from the food and hospitality sector to strengthen food safety standards, improve regulatory awareness and promote industry collaboration.
The programme began with a welcome address by Dr. Aman Gupta, Corporate Affairs National Lead at Yum! Brands India, followed by the introduction of dignitaries by Dr. Umesh Kamble, Secretary of CASMB. The event was attended by key industry representatives, academicians and government officials.
The event’s chief guest was Shridhar Dube-Patil, IAS, Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration Maharashtra. Other prominent attendees included Mahendra Ingle, Treasurer of AFSTI Mumbai Chapter, along with several professionals from the food processing and hospitality industries.
A major highlight of the event was a FoSTaC (Food Safety Training and Certification) session conducted as part of the India Sahyog Program. The training successfully certified more than 100 Food Business Operators (FBOs). The session focused on creating awareness about food safety practices, hygiene standards and compliance requirements under the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI). Participants were provided practical insights to help them implement safe food practices and maintain quality standards in their operations.
Apart from the training session, the programme also included discussions on business growth and capacity building for small and medium food enterprises. Experts shared insights on scaling operations, maintaining product consistency and navigating regulatory frameworks in the highly competitive food industry.
The India Sahyog Program aims to empower local food businesses by strengthening their knowledge of food safety and regulatory practices while encouraging responsible growth in the hospitality and food services sector.
