Coherent Market Insights Named Official Process Advisor for the Fi India Awards 2026

Mumbai, India — August 2026 — Coherent Market Insights (CMI) has been appointed as the Official Process Advisor for the Fi India Awards 2026, organized by Informa Markets. The awards ceremony is scheduled for August 26, 2026, at the Ruby Ballroom, Hotel Sahara Star, Mumbai, under the theme "Blend of Brilliance: Recognizing Visionaries in Food & Beverage Excellence."

As Process Advisor, CMI designed and led the evaluation framework behind the awards, covering nomination screening, due diligence, documentation validation, category alignment, and jury governance across India's food and beverage industry.

The process began with 241 nominations submitted across 16 award categories. Of these, 32 were drafts or incomplete and were excluded early, leaving 209 for detailed review. Each nomination was assessed for category fit, documentation completeness, and claim substantiation, along with a legal and reputational screen.

Where nominations had correctable gaps — missing certificates, unclear dates, or inconsistent details — CMI sought clarification directly from nominees rather than rejecting them outright. This process resulted in 161 of the 209 reviewed nominations being approved for jury evaluation.

The approved nominations were then distributed across three independent jury panels, organized by theme: food safety and sustainability, ingredients and wellness, and brand and commercial growth. Panel 1 reviewed 57 nominations and shortlisted 18 finalists; Panel 2 reviewed 49 and shortlisted 9; Panel 3 reviewed 55 and shortlisted 20. Scoring was based on a 1–10 scale across six parameters — category fit, operational scale, compliance, impact, innovation, and growth. The top three entries per category advanced, resulting in 47 finalists across all 16 categories.
