FCL, India’s first sourcing-to-supermarket food company by Future Group, is built on the virtue of sharing. Starting from the seeding of food at the farm to its consumption from the plate, FCL acts as a catalyst for each of its stakeholders. From sourcing, processing, retailing to final act of consumption – FCL strikes a widespread cord between the lives of the farmer, a factory laborer, a worker on the shop floor and the housewife.

‘Sharing’ lies in the heart of food in India. It starts at the farms where neighbors, kith and kin join hands in tilling, sowing and harvesting of crops. Women come together to further process and prepare food. Recipes are passed down as heirlooms, shared by friends and neighbours and now on television by celebrity chefs.
Under FCL’s spectrum, the company sources best quality commodities from the world over, comprises of extensive portfolio of established brands in food and HPC space, builds urban convenience store for key metros and cash-n-carry rural distribution models for other cities across India.
