Case Study: Essence Drinks

When Akshay Kumar, the founder of Essence Drinks, started the company two years ago he could not have foreseen the rapid early stage growth that took place. He launched the company with one drink (a healthy Mango Lassi) into the UK market and achieved a dramatic rise in sales in his first year due to the innovative formula and distribution capability.
