Kanav Bansal is a second-generation entrepreneur and Director at Ginni Tea Industries Limited, where he is helping transform a traditional FMCG business into a modern, technology-driven consumer enterprise. An alumnus of ISB Hyderabad, Kellogg School of Management, USA, and IE Business School, Spain, Kanav combines his family-business experience with global management education and an entrepreneurial approach to building the next generation of Indian consumer businesses.
With a strong focus on e-commerce, quick commerce, product innovation and private-label manufacturing, Kanav has played an active role in building Ginni’s presence across leading platforms including Flipkart, Amazon, Swiggy Instamart, Zomato and emerging quick-commerce platforms. His work focuses on understanding changing consumer behaviour and using digital-first distribution models to take traditional Indian FMCG products to a much larger consumer base. A key area of his work has been product innovation, with Ginni developing differentiated offerings such as Elaichi Tea, Rose Tea, Masala Tea and other contemporary tea variants designed around evolving consumer preferences. He has also been involved in developing new categories, including dry fruits and nuts, particularly through the private-label and modern retail ecosystem.
Kanav has also helped expand Ginni’s private-label business, working with some of India's largest retail and e-commerce ecosystems, including Amazon and Flipkart, across sourcing, manufacturing and packaging. This has given him hands-on experience in building scalable B2B2C models alongside the company’s own consumer brand. Under his leadership, Ginni Tea has continued to strengthen its focus on food safety, quality and compliance, with certifications and systems including SEDEX, FSSC 22000 and ZED (Zero Defect, Zero Effect), alongside other food-quality and manufacturing standards. This reflects his approach of combining aggressive business growth with strong operational and compliance foundations.
