Born in Australia and recognised worldwide for its gourmet-style chips, the brand enters the market with globally inspired exotic flavours now made and manufactured in India for Indian palates, the company said in a statement. Made with sunflower oil and created using three distinct advanced technologies -- Kettle Cooked, Baked and Popped -- the range blends exotic and globally inspired flavours to offer an elevated snacking experience, it added. The brand's arrival comes at a time when India's snacking landscape is undergoing a marked transformation, the company said. "Today's urban consumers are seeking premium, chef-inspired snacks that feel both elevated and accessible. Introducing the brand in India is catering to this consumer shift toward richer textures, bolder ingredients, for intentional snacking moments," Saakshi Verma Menon, Ch

PepisCo enters millet-based snacking category with its Kurkure brand

Food & beverage major PepsiCo has entered the millet-based snacking category, as it has extended its popular snack brand Kurkure in this segment. With Kurkure Jowar Puffs, PepsiCo joins the other FMCG companies, which have entered India's millet-based snacking category.

"These shifts, combined with the growing spotlight on millets, present a unique opportunity for PepsiCo India to reimagine heritage grains for today's generation," said PepsiCo.

NCLAT rejects insolvency petition against PepsiCo India over interest claim

The National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has dismissed an insolvency petition against PepsiCo India Holdings after observing that provisions of IBC cannot be turned into a debt-recovery proceeding. The appellate insolvency tribunal has upheld the earlier order passed by the Chandigarh bench of the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT), which had rejected SNJ Synthetics's plea. "The adjudicating authority (NCLT) has not committed any infirmity in not allowing the CIRP of the corporate debtor (PepsiCo) to be initiated solely on the basis of the claim of the contested and unsubstantiated interest component," said a three-member NCLAT bench. The NCLAT held that SNJ's insolvency petition, filed under Section 9 of IBC as an operational creditor was not maintainable since the principal amount of the debt claimed from PepsiCo had already been repaid and only a disputed claim for interest remained. "The provisions of Insolvency & Bankruptcy Code (IBC) cannot be turned into a ...

PepsiCo to expand snacks, packed food range with Indian flavoured products

PepsiCo will increase its play in the packed food segment, catering to "multiple Indias" with different taste buds as it bets on innovations and premiumisation to continue its double-digit growth in the country, its India & South Asia CEO Jagrut Kotecha said. Pepsico will expand its snacks business in India, as consumption is very low vis-a-vis other countries and with growing urbanisation and more money coming in the pockets with a growing economy, Kotecha expects consumption of packed foods to increase. PepsiCo, the makers of Kurkure and Lays, has internally divided India into nine clusters to match the regional taste buds of "multiple Indias", he said, adding "if you say it's just one India, I think we are not doing enough justice to it." "You need to design your portfolio, keeping those consumers of India like multiple Indias. So that's on being consumer-centric and starting to work and drilling down on that. And then understanding what the trends are in terms of taste, ...

PepsiCo aims to double its revenue in India over the next five years, viewing the country as a 'key anchor market' where it is making "aggressive" investments to expand its capacity, its India & South Asia CEO Jagrut Kotecha said.

PepsiCo has invested in greenfield plants in Uttar Pradesh and Assam, focusing on staying ahead of the demand curve, Kotecha said, adding the company will not be "investment shy" in India and plans to open two more facilities, including one in the southern region.
