TABP Snacks and Beverages, a leading food processing manufacturer based out of Coimbatore, having closed its recent funding round of $3 million, is now aggressively expanding its footprint beyond South India into the East and West.
This will take the company’s revenue target to Rs 800 crore over the next three years. For the FY24, it recorded a revenue of Rs 212 crore which represents a significant increase from its previous years' performance, as per information in the public domain.
"Our game plan is clear. We will double down on our 'moving wholesaler' model to ensure our reach is deeper than anyone else's. Product-wise, we are innovating to bring 'luxury' flavours to the mass market, making the aspirational accessible. We are building TABP not just as a beverage company, but as the most trusted brand for the 'Bottom of the Pyramid' consumer," Prabhu Gandhikumar, founder, TABP Snacks and Beverages, told FnB News in an email.
"As we look toward 2026, the theme shifts to scaling. We are now armed with capital, and the goal is clear: Scale TABP to Rs 800 crore in the next three years and prepare the runway for a public listing," he added.
The plan of action is to deepen distribution with a ‘Density’ strategy. "Here will use the fresh capital to penetrate deeper into South and East India. We are not just looking for more outlets; we are looking for density. The goal is to make our Rs 10 beverages as ubiquitous as water in industrial belts and rural hubs."
The company will consider ‘Asset-Heavy Manufacturing’. "Here the early days of pure outsourcing, 2026 will see us investing in our own manufacturing capabilities to control quality and margins better as we scale, " he said.
The company intends to scale back on "Growth at All Costs." "In the startup world, it is easy to chase top-line vanity metrics. But with institutional investors now onboard, our fiduciary responsibility is higher. In 2026, if a product line or region doesn't offer a clear path to positive unit economics, we will cut it ruthlessly. The era of ‘burning cash for growth’ is dead; 2026 is about ‘growth with governance,’" said Prabhu.
