  • Coca-Cola CEO Henrique Braun said the company will not chase what he called “irrational” pricing by rivals in India.
  • His comments come as Reliance’s Campa Cola pushes ₹10 price points, intensifying competition in India’s soft-drink market.
  • Coca-Cola plans to stay disciplined on pricing instead of entering a price war that could hurt long-term value and profitability.
