3 CASE STUDY – Maggi noodles

Case : Maggi Noddles

Maggi Noodles was launched in 1982 by Nestle India Limited as ‘Maggi 2-Minute Instant Noodles’ under the prepared dishes category. Since then, Nestle has stood its ground firmly in India, by setting its foundation as a well-known brand offering solutions to customers’ wants in different segments.

Maggi noodles is one of those brand names for which the quote “I came, I was, I conquered’ is apt. The brand replaced favourite Indian desi snacks such as Samos’s and kachoris with a hot bowl of Maggi Noodles.
