Many brands and products fall under the PepsiCo umbrella. With over 22 brands generating at least $1 billion in retail sales, including Doritos chips, Quaker oatmeal, Gatorade sports drinks and Mountain Dew soda (Esterl ,2014). Less than half of PepsiCo’s sales are from the sale of soft drinks. Despite the fact that beverage sales make up less than half of all incoming revenue, PepsiCo is often seen as a soft drink manufacturer. (Trefis Team 2015).”
One big change that needs to be made is pesticide free water in the Coca-Cola products. Indians have a lot of trouble with making sure their food and water is contaminated, and things like this aren’t going to help Coca-Cola’s business because they aren’t going to want to risk their health. Indian’s need to feel safe and trustful of Coca-Cola that their products are safe for themselves. Coca-Cola made also need to use less Indian water in their products if that problem cannot be fixed.

After being cleared by the Indian government in 1988, PepsiCo. was allowed entry to the Indian market as a Joint Venture with Indian-based companies Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC, established by the government) and Voltas India Ltd. (an appointed company by the Indian government who was to oversight Pepsi’s decisions).

PepsiCo’s top four issues that they are hoping to influence are the food industry, agriculture, taxes and heath issues. I believe that they are interested in the food industry because they are a leading brand in the food and beverage industry, so it would only make sense that they put a lot of money towards this. Since they are a leader in the food industry they also care about the agricultural issues. They need corn, wheat, beans and other crops to make their products.

This one would be affecting the corporate tax that the company would have. These taxes could be quite high since they are such a large company. Lastly they tried to influence health issues, this is probably

PepsiCo gained entry to India in 1988 by creating a joint venture with the Punjab government-owned Punjab Agro Industrial Corporation (PAIC) and Voltas India Limited. This joint venture marketed and sold Lehar Pepsi until 1991 when the use of foreign brands was allowed; PepsiCo bought out its partners and ended the joint venture in 1994.

These controversies are a reminder of "India's sometimes acrimonious relationship with huge multinational companies." Indeed, some argue that PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company have "been
