It’s not just about Tupperware parties. In November 2011, Gupta took the first step towards international expansion by setting up shop in Bangladesh. It was also a year when Tupperware’s business here grew by 66%, prompting the firm’s global chairman Rick Goings to highlight India as a star performer in an early conference call in July this year. To address a major gap in the product segment, the Indian team designed an eco-friendly one-litre water bottle, which has now been included in the global portfolio. To increase its footprint in a country where a large population still does not have access to potable water, the company is launching a new water filtration product, Tuppersure. Gupta who has been evangelising her own success story in a book titled She Can, You Can has made the title into a campaign to promote entrepreneurship among women.
