ITC’s Sunfeast Launched "Supermilk"

ITC’s Sunfeast is expanding its biscuit business by launching milk biscuit-“Supermilk” in Tamil Nadu initially.  Currently the state accounts for 40% of the milk biscuit industry. The brand has roped in two celebrity mothers to endorse the biscuit. The celebrities are Simran and Prasanna, feature in two TVCs, encouraging mothers to prefer Sunfeast SuperMilk – the strong milk biscuit for their children.

The both TVCs communicate about the today’s children need for strong milk biscuits to get through the day as adults need strong tea/coffee after a day’s work/chores.

Keeping in mind, Tamilnadu people’s love for ‘strong’ coffee/tea, Sunfeast Supermilk is right choice to address the need for a ‘strong milk biscuit’ for kids. Supermilk contains a more percentage of milk as compared to its previous packs. It also contains ‘Naatu maatu paal’ which has always been trusted by mothers as a wholesome food choice.

ITC to grab a bite of Rs 11,000-crore Chocolate Market

ITC entered into Rs 11,000-crore chocolate segment with over a dozen launches in the category. ITC’s product offerings include chocolates, chocolate cookies, wafers and spreads was part of the plan to make the business more profitable.

ITC’s bold decision to enter into chocolate decision should be appreciated as the whole market is dominantly played by few players like Cadbury, Amul, Luvit and others. Personally, I welcome the strategic decision of ITC’s entry into this chocolate segment, as the market is mostly influenced by one foreign player, and here there is one more Indian manufacturer through its brand “Fabelle”.

I have been curiously watching the market as to who will enter in to instant coffee segment, where there are only two major players i.e Nescafe Sunrise, and BRU, a well established brand in the market from the last two decades. Though, there are other players like TATA’ Coffee and Continental coffee, they could not garner significant share in the instant coffee segment. Well, the ITC’s Sunbean is a beaten coffee paste, which is new to Indian consumers as they are familiar with instant powder. Definitely, one should appreciate ITC’s innovation, but how far Indian consumers will be accepting the new way of coffee with paste. And, I have observed little inconvenience in dissolving the paste in hot milk which can become hurdle that can impact consumer behavior as well. Nevertheless, we have to wait and watch as to how ITC is going to influence consumers with their marketing efforts. Lets enjoy and experience a new of way of coffee making with coffee paste.
