"It was truly a wonderful and interactive experience being a speaker at today’s Starch Forum. What I appreciated most was the highly engaging participation from one and all. The conversations went beyond starch—they explored business opportunities, evolving market strategies, innovation, and the future direction of the starch industry. It was inspiring to exchange perspectives, learn from industry experts, and be part of such meaningful discussions. I would like to sincerely thank *F1stmr* for providing me with the opportunity to share my thoughts and present the benefits and potential of Waxy Tapioca Starch. One of the key highlights of my presentation was the potential of clean-label, physically modified Waxy Tapioca Starch as a strong strengthening solution for multiple food applications. Its functionality can support a wide range of segments, including dairy, snacking, culinary, and other food applications, while helping manufacturers respond to evolving market and consumer needs. It was a great opportunity to share how innovative starch solutions can contribute to better product performance, formulation flexibility, and clean-label product development. Being able to present these possibilities and engage directly with industry professionals made the session especially rewarding for me. A heartfelt thank you to the organizers, fellow speakers, industry professionals, and everyone who participated and made the forum such an enriching and interactive platform. Grateful for the opportunity, inspired by the conversations, and excited about the possibilities ahead for the starch industry!"

"It was an absolute pleasure attending the 14th Edition of the Starch Forum in Mumbai today.

"It was a great show at the Starch Forum yesterday. All sessions were so insightful, and it was a great meeting with the delegates. Thank you so much F1rstRM team for inviting me from Thai Wah. It really was great interacting with you Kamlesh ji and CPR sir. Thank you once again."

"The sessions offered valuable insights into functional and modified starches, nutritional applications, clean-label solutions, processing technologies, commercialization, and sustainable bioproducts. Beyond the sessions, I had the opportunity to connect with professionals from across the food and specialty ingredients industry. These conversations made the experience even more meaningful. A sincere thank you to Starch Forum 2026 and F1RST - Market Research & Business Consultancy, India for creating such an insightful platform for learning, collaboration, and networking. Glad to have attended the forum representing YASHAM SPECIALITY INGREDIENTS PRIVATE LIMITED. Here’s to more learning, meaningful connections, and turning ideas into practical solutions!"

"Last week, I had the opportunity to spend a day at Starch Forum 2026 exploring how the starch industry is evolving beyond its traditional role as a food ingredient. A recurring theme across sessions was that value creation is increasingly shifting from selling starch as a commodity to designing specific outcomes: better texture, improved nutrition, greater process efficiency, or even entirely new bio-based products. As someone relatively new to the starch industry, the biggest value came from the conversations between sessions. I had the opportunity to interact with experts from across manufacturing, R&D, nutrition, ingredient development, and industrial biotechnology, asking a lot more questions than I answered. Many thanks to F1RST Market Research & Business Consultancy for bringing together such a diverse set of perspectives across the starch ecosystem. Looking forward to continuing the learning journey and the conversations that started at the forum."

"As an OEM and plant/line solutions provider, this was our first participation in such a forum, and it was a great learning experience for us. What made the forum particularly valuable was the opportunity to listen to and interact with academicians, researchers, nutritionists, consultants and industry professionals, each bringing a different perspective to the evolving starch ecosystem. From our perspective as an OEM, this is where process technology, scalability, raw-material consistency, efficiency and plant economics become critical. We look forward to participating again next year and hopefully sharing our perspective on potato starch processing, our technology partnership with SiccaDania, and the business considerations behind native and technical starch production. A sincere thank you to Kamlesh Ji and the entire F1rstMR team for creating such a well-curated platform for learning, interaction and knowledge sharing. It was a pleasure meeting so many knowledgeable people from across the starch ecosystem. Looking forward to continuing the conversations."
