== Background ==<br />
The Coca-Cola Company started operating in India in 1950. However, in 1977, they withdrew operations from the country in protest of regulations and legislation by the Government of India limiting the dilution of equity of [[multinational corporations]]. On October 24, 1993, they decided to re-enter the market, and have maintained a strong presence ever since.{{Cn|date=February 2019}}<br />
<br />
== Sustainability ==<br />
The company supports sustainable development and [[inclusive growth]] by focusing on issues relating to water, environment, healthy living, empowerment of women, sanitation and social advancement.<br />
<br />
Coca-Cola India launched the 5by20 initiative in 2010, which is the company’s global program to economically empower 5 million women entrepreneurs across six industries by 2020.<br />
<br />
Coca-Cola India and [[NDTV]] launched the Support My School initiative in association with the [[UN-Habitat]], Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) in 2011. It undertakes activities such as providing improved access to water, sanitation facilities for adolescents, improving school infrastructure, supporting environmental causes, building sports and recreational facilities, and recharging groundwater through [[rainwater harvesting]] in government schools in rural and semi-urban areas across India.<br />
<br />
== Controversy ==<br />
Coca cola sales in India declined 11% in the third quarter of 2003 due to "false" allegations by the Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment ([[Centre for Science and Environment|CSE]]), which said the top 12 soft drink brands of PepsiCo and Coca-Cola contained pesticides and insecticides in excess of the limits set by the European Economic Commission (EEC).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Coca Cola sales fall by 11% on pesticide controversy|url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/companies/coke-sales-fall-11-on-pesticide-controversy-103102901064_1.html#:~:text=Coca%2DCola%20said%20sales%20in,the%20US%20Securities%20Exchange%20Commission.|url-status=live|website=Business Standard}}</ref><br />
