Warburg Pincus India managing director and head Vishal Mahadevia was quoted as saying: “We believe that packaging is a great way to play the fast-growing consumption story in India.
“The paper packaging market is expected to demonstrate strong growth over the next five years, driven by underlying expansion in consumer end markets, further bolstered by secular tailwinds of sustainability and premiumisation.
“Warburg Pincus has a deep history in backing talented management teams and looks forward to partnering with the Founder family and the management team in growing the business.”
