It is this commitment to consumers that has allowed Cloud 9 to build a reputation based on quality, outstanding performance, unparalleled value and customer loyalty and has helped forge relationships that transcend time, geography, age and cultural inclinations. These relationships are something that matters most to us rather than short-term gains and it is this reason that these bonds are sure to get stronger over time.”

Profile

Mr. Priyesh M. Ganatra, the Managing Director of Cloud 9 is unanimously credited for Shree Jalaram Group’s foray into the Energy Drink and Cola market. One of the youngest Managing Directors in India, Mr. Priyesh Ganatra has played a pivotal role in chalking out the company's organisational and structural framework which has helped Cloud 9 chart a course of unparalleled success in the industry.

He specialises in the area of sales, finance and marketing and his personal interest in the markets of Mumbai and Goa has not only enabled Cloud 9 to outperform here but also create a solid foundation for future growth.

The success in these markets is a case study in outstanding execution of business strategy and planning, and has helped develop a business model that is set to be replicated across India with a promise of guaranteed results.

His business acumen, complimented by his virtuous and effervescent personality has made him one most popular members of the Cloud 9 family. Also, his ability to gauge the pulse of the market and make judicious decisions at the right time has been crucial in scripting the meteoric rise of Cloud 9 as India’s biggest manufacturer of energy drinks.

Mr. Priyesh Ganatra’s expertise and interests goes well beyond the realm of the business world. He is an avid sport enthusiast and takes his sport very seriously. He has also competed with distinction at the Maharashtra Tenpin Bowling Championship. He believes that the qualities of a good sportsman and a good businessman are similar and there is a lot that one can learn from the other.

His message to Indian companies is not to shy away from competition but rather encourage healthy competition and make sure that we prepare ourselves to face any challenges with utmost confidence, a steely conviction and absolute dedication.

He has set no goals for the company in the short-term and believes setting shortsighted goals limits the company’s ability to maximise its true potential and may lead to complacency.

Giving 100% in everything you do and learning everyday is what leads to continuous improvement and allows you to conquer your limitation and thereby supersede your targets and providing maximum output.

However, he believes that work without proper planning and thorough preparation leads to unwarranted waste of resources and time, and time is perhaps the most crucial element when facing the kind of competition that we are facing today.

Mr. Priyesh Ganatra is convinced that “The Sky is the Limit” for Cloud 9 and has set his sight towards driving the company into a growth cycle that goes from strength to strength with every passing day, driven by inspiring leadership, a motivated staff and committed business partners.

Cloud 9’s Inception

Cloud 9 is manufactured by Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd, the specialists in the manufacture of 100% Natural Lifestyle Energy Drinks and Caffeine-Free Cola, using its cutting edge technology and plethora of ingenious solutions and indigenous know-how.

Cloud 9’s vision has always been to provide India with drinks that give the consumers the desired energy boost, yet are completely healthy and have no side effects associated with other drinks.

Cloud 9 achieves this exact balance of 'energy and health' through the perfect combination of naturally occurring, energy rich resources with high-tech manufacturing techniques that gives consumers the best of both worlds.

The success of Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. is to a large extent the result of the entrepreneurial vision and strategic brilliance of its young and dynamic Managing Director, Mr. Priyesh Ganatra.

Mr. Priyesh Ganatra has successfully carried-forward the entrepreneurial spirit of Mr. Mohan Ganatra, the Chairman of Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. (GHPL), whose business instincts and prudent decision making is nothing short of legendary, and is something that the management, staff and business associates alike swear by.

Following in the footsteps of Mr. Mohan Ganatra, the young stalwart is poised to drive Cloud 9 into a new phase of unmatched success and uninhibited growth.

Cloud 9’s Metamorphosis

Before deciding to venture into the market, the management of Cloud 9 conducted a thorough and detailed study of prevailing market conditions in the energy drink and cola market, and the entire FMCG sector as a whole. It was revealed in the study that the FMCG market was mainly dominated by foreign players and the ingredients used in most of the popular drinks were harmful to the human body.

Keeping in mind the revelations of the study, Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. came up with India’s first natural energy drink and caffeine-free cola that was made purely from natural ingredients that completely adhered to FDA standards and regulations.

Right at the outset, Cloud 9 recognised the potential of the energy drink market in India and decided to venture into it with a big push to cement an Indian presence in a scene dominated by international companies.

Cloud 9 penetrated the market at lightning speed and went on to become the second biggest player in the country. It was indeed an impressive feat for an FMCG product to capture the market at the pace that Cloud 9 Energy Drink did. Today, one can ask for Cloud 9 at one of the 80,000 outlets, more than 30,000 wine shops, high-end pubs and many five-star hotels across the country. We accredit our success to the combined efforts of the entire Cloud 9 family.

Following the overwhelming success of Cloud 9 energy drink, Goldwin Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. has now successfully launched India’s first 100% caffeine-free cola. Usually, children are dissuaded from consuming colas owing to the level of caffeine present in them; but the Cloud 9 Cola can be consumed by one and all, which is also its USP.

Realising the role that specialist media vehicles play in communicating a brand’s message effectively by reaching out to its strategic target audiences, we have spruced up the branding and publicity efforts of Cloud 9 Cola on Mumbai local trains and BEST buses, including the hi-tech AC buses which has proved to be very successful for Cloud 9. We look forward to seeing Cloud 9 Cola gain wider acceptance in the market and grow form strength to strength with each passing day.

Cloud 9’s Growth Plank

The Indian market is currently dominated by well established multinational giants who run a monopoly in various segments, where an Indian presence is at a minimum. Cloud 9 will be the first Indian company after many years to successfully compete with these monopolistic behemoths.

Goldwin Healthcare will soon be launching an array of products over the coming year. The product launches include, Tonic Water, Flavoured Mineral Water, Soda and an Aloe Vera Juice. All these products are 100% natural and devoid of any harmful ingredients, which is the highlight of Cloud 9 products, but is also among its founding principles and a key component in the company's overall raison d'etre.

The company will be launching the soda product in tin cans of 200, 330 and 500 ml. The mineral water product will be positioned in the premium segment. The company will enter the Juice segment with the apple, mango, orange and lemon flavours.

Furthermore, the company will launch a specialised product of Aloe Vera Juice, which is especially beneficial for women and children. This product will be the first of its kind in India. The products will be manufactured at the company’s state-of-the art facility in Nandur, 40 km from Pune (Maharashtra), spread across 27 acres.

Cloud 9 is also positioning itself to launch its products internationally. Soon the company will launch its product into the South Asian Subcontinent, Europe and the GCC Countries.

In the future, Cloud 9 plans to surpass all its earlier successes and aim for higher and bigger goals. The name, Cloud 9, itself gives a prelude to the ambitions of the company where, ”The Sky is no more the Limit". Cloud 9 aims to consolidate and grow its Indian presence all the while expanding into the overseas market.

Cloud 9's aim is to use the profits from these ventures to contribute towards invigorating the economy of our own country, India. Cloud 9 wants Indians to support and be part of this initiative to energise and empower India’s people, its economy, and the thereby India as a whole.

Although we do not underestimate the competition that's in the offing going forward, we have complete faith and belief in our products and our team. We are more than ready to take on any national or international competitors. We're poised to face all the challenges at hand and take advantage of all the opportunities that lie ahead.
