We are trying to absorb higher raw material costs by reducing channel margin and some process engineering at our end. But if nothing happens, we might have to reduce the weight or increase the MRP of the product, says Amit Kumat, MD & CEO, Prataap Snacks.What happened in Q3? We have seen some of the food companies struggling to grow. Your revenue is down 6% YoY. Any particular reason?There has been growth on a sequential basis in Q3 compared to Q2. This is why demand is picking up but there is a real big problem of the schools not opening and kids not buying snacks. Our key market is based on impulse purchase by kids.

'I am listing here what life in the city with a dependent (but grown up) family is really like,' says Kishore Singh. Rediff.com There was a time I thought longingly of living in a small town or cantonment such as the many I had grown up in -- Coonoor, Deolali, Mhow, Pathankot, Dharamsala, Jammu, Shillong, Bikaner -- which seemed ideal given their size, and not entirely devoid of facilities. But these romantic notions took a toll every time one visited family, or friends, to return disheartened. If one lacked in bookshops, another didn't have a bakery; if medical amenities were missing in one, another had resisted improvements in infrastructure. And charming as they were, their residents were given to vitiating gossip. Slowly, the dream crumbled, and Delhi became our default home, the anonymity it offered making up in some measure for what we suffered by way of distances, traffic, and now pollution. Even given its ugly smog, our relatives envy that choice. ... » Learn More about Is this a chilled out life?
