Last Thursday UpClear and the Asia Pricing Professionals group hosted FMCG professionals in Singapore for an afternoon of sharp insights, lively debate, and new connections. The program featured two keynote talks and two fireside chats—each zeroing in on how APAC teams can plan, price, and promote with greater precision.
Raghu spotlighted the two “big buckets” that dominate FMCG P&Ls—commodity inputs and marketing & trade spend—and showed why focusing RGM energy here is where companies most often unlock value.
Deepak offered a deep dive on pricing architectures, with a special look at discounting—framing practical lenses for pricing and promo strategy in today’s fast-moving retail landscape.
A punchy exchange packed with RGM rollout lessons from around APAC. One takeaway we loved:
“The RGM levers are all equally important; which ones you pull is situational. RGM is about viewing all the levers holistically.” — Alan Siega
Raghu contrasted two UpClear BluePlanner deployments:
Together, they showed how BluePlanner scales across market maturities and priorities.
We wrapped with UpClear-hosted networking drinks—great conversations, new intros, and a few collaborations already in motion.
Still to come this year are the San Francisco Elevate West and Summit in October, and finally, London Elevate & RGM Summit in November.
