I would be happy to come on board for this project and help you build this beverage brand from scratch. For a ready-to-drink product like Nimbu Masala Thanda, choosing the right formulation and manufacturing partner will be the foundation of the brand. I can help you identify suitable beverage formulation consultants and contract manufacturers, contact them professionally, explain the product requirement, assess their capabilities, collect pricing/timelines/MOQ details, and shortlist the best options for you. My approach would be: 1. Research beverage formulation consultants and RTD beverage manufacturers in India 2. Contact them by phone 3. Understand their experience with shelf-stable beverages 4. Collect details on formulation, production capacity, MOQ, pricing, packaging, timelines and compliance 5. Arrange meetings with interested and capable partners 6. Help compare the options and support negotiation where required I am also open to supporting this long-term beyond sourcing — including brand positioning, packaging direction, go-to-market planning, vendor coordination and business development. I can work independently and provide regular progress updates in a clear tracker. Please share your current product idea, expected flavour profile, target pricing, packaging format and launch timeline so I can start with the right direction. Thanks, Himanshu
