The company, based in Vevey, Switzerland, said in a statement on Friday that "the vehicle and its load are still nowhere to be found".

Startups and regional brands are not only good for providing variety to consumers but also give established players the push to improve their product offerings, Nestle India's outgoing Chairman & Managing Director Suresh Narayanan said. Stressing on the importance of startups and regional brands operating in small catchment areas, Narayanan said Nestle India is working with startups as part of its accelerator program, to identify their potential and see how to partner with them.

They do two things -one, they extend the variety for the consumer, and secondly, they give us additional inspiration for improving, making ourselves faster and smarter," Narayanan told PTI during an interview earlier this week.
