Resurrecting Brand Maggi
December 12, 2016
|Businessworld
Has brand Maggi been successfully revived? Nestlé India is on an overdrive to expand its products around health and wellness.
CALLING IT a “crisis” that no company should have to go through, Nestlé India chairman and managing director Suresh Narayanan recalls the five-month ban on Maggi (June-October 2015) as an “unfortunate” incident. “People dragged the brand through fire and mud. The brand not only survived, it came out cleaner and stronger,” says the 56-year-old Narayanan who took charge of Nestlé India in July 2015, amidst the worst crisis that hit the company in its 100-year history in India. On 9 November, 2016 (the day demonetisation kicked in), Nestlé India completed one full year of the successful relaunch of brand Maggi.
According to Narayanan, the popular instant noodles brand Maggi is nowhere near its dominant 75 per cent market share in 2014, when the entire instant noodles category was estimated at Rs 2,200 crore. “Today, we are inching towards 60 per cent market share. A lot of work still remains,” he says. This is because the entire category of instant noodles has shrunk in size. “Many consumers gave up on instant noodles since Maggi was not present. Now they are back,” says Narayanan.

BUDGET BETS ON SPEED, STEEL & STRATEGIC DEPTH
NIRMALA Sitharaman's ninth Budget suggests that India believes the long taper is over and that a cautious takeoff has begun. For much of the past decade, criticism of India’s economic management followed a familiar script: a government that spoke the language of transformation but governed with the instincts of a caretaker, balancing a vast electorate's demands against the imperatives of long-term industrial growth.

WHY DATA CENTRES AREN'T TECH
THE UNION Budget 2026-27 made a remarkable announcement: tax holidays extending until 2047 for foreign companies providing cloud services through Indian data centres. This 23-year incentive window, coupled with exemptions from Minimum Alternate Tax and a favourable 15 per cent safe harbour margin for related entities, represents one of the most generous policy packages in recent memory. The sheer scale of these incentives prompts a fundamental question: what exactly is the government subsidising?

Central Bank Decides to Give Private Sector Driven Growth a Chance
IN ITS LATEST bi-monthly monetary policy review, the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) of the Reserve Bank of India has once again chosen calm over drama, keeping the repurchase rate — better known as the repo rate — unchanged at 5.25 per cent. The decision, widely anticipated, suggests that the central bank is in no hurry to either slam the brakes or hit the accelerator as the economy navigates mixed global cues and a steady domestic demand.
