A conviction, not just a business .
Most consulting firms are built around a service offering. VPC was built around a belief.
India's growth is driven by domestic private consumption — not exports.
When Piero Guizzetti landed in India in 2006, he saw something most outsiders missed: in the consumption-led model of its economy, India was closer to the US than to China.
That meant India was a consumer market of extraordinary scale — and one that would require feet on the ground, not spreadsheets from abroad, to understand and serve.
That conviction became the firm.
An underserved need.
A firm built to fill it.
International companies were approaching India with ambition but without the right guide. Generic strategies. Wrong partners. Compliance treated as an afterthought. The cost of these decisions compounded for years.
VPC was founded as a boutique firm with a different proposition — genuine on-ground depth, personal accountability, and the long view. The first mandate was partnership advisory. In 2009, VPC took on its first fashion and lifestyle engagement.
Depth over breadth.
A deliberate choice.
