New Delhi: Food & beverage major PepsiCo is "cautiously optimistic" about its performance in the second half of 2026, as consumer demand remains resilient across urban and rural markets despite inflationary woes, said its India & South Asia CEO Jagrut Kotecha.
However, he noted that PepsiCo continues to monitor external uncertainties, including weather-related disruptions such as El Nino, as well as other global and domestic challenges that could influence consumption patterns.
