Join Hansika Subramanian, Principal Analyst at Mintel India, at PetBridge 2026 in Mumbai as she explores the consumer behaviours and emerging trends shaping the future of pet food.
The Next Chapter of Pet Food in India:
Health, Humanisation and Hyper-Personalisation
25 November 2026
11:40 AM–12:10 PM
NESCO/BEC, Mumbai, India
Pets are increasingly becoming part of the family in India, changing how owners think about feeding, nutrition and wellbeing. As pet parents combine packaged and home-cooked food and pay closer attention to healthy ageing, weight management and nutritional balance, expectations of pet food are moving beyond basic nourishment.
In this session, Hansika Subramanian, Principal Analyst, Food and Drink at Mintel, will combine the latest Indian consumer insights with Mintel’s global future predictions to explore the next chapter of pet food. The presentation will examine how health, humanisation and hyper-personalisation could inspire lifestyle-led nutrition, more enriching food experiences and new ways for brands to support the bond between pets and their parents.
What attendees will learn:
- How pet humanisation is reshaping feeding and nutrition expectations
- Why personalisation will evolve beyond age and breed to reflect pets’ lifestyles and environments.
- How enrichment, fresh food and emotionally meaningful experiences could shape future innovation.
- Where brands can unlock growth among India’s highly involved pet parents.
