Commenting on the development, Saugata Gupta, MD and CEO, Marico Limited, said, “We are proud to have achieved this significant milestone and emerge as leaders in the oats category. It’s a testament to our dedication to excellence, innovation and consumer satisfaction. Indians are uncompromising when it comes to taste. With this basic learning, we set out to Indianise oats by addressing the quintessential Indian taste preferences, while seamlessly integrating the health benefits that it offers. Supporting the government’s vision of promoting millets as a sustainable and nutritious food source, we have embraced millets in our product portfolio and blended the goodness of two superfoods – oats and millets in our Saffola oats range.
Our unwavering commitment to delight our consumers has helped us revolutionize oats as a category and played a pivotal role in propelling Saffola Oats to the coveted position of India’s Number 1 Oats Brand. Our journey continues, fueled by the trust of our customers and our commitment to provide ‘better for you’ products.”
