5. Introduction of Maggi
Swiss Public Welfare Society asked Julius
Maggi to create a vegetable food
product that would be quick to prepare
and easy to digest.
In 1863, Julius Maggi developed a
formula to add taste to meals, which
later paved the way for Maggi and other
easy to make food products.
The original company came into
existence in 1872 in Switzerland, when
Julius Maggi took over his fathers mill.
However, in India it was launched in
1980s by Nestle group of companies.
Maggie had merged with Nestle family
in 1947.

Nestles iconic brand: they have 57% of
market share.

segment helped Maggi to retain their market
leadership over the years.

lagi hai, Bas 2-Minute and Fast to Cook
Good to Eat (in 1990s) easily positioned
Maggi in the minds of target consumers.
NIL has started to offer aggressive discounts
and incentives to retailers on Maggi.
11. Brand Repositioning
After the company was banned from selling
the product in India, Maggi had to undergo
tests in three government-accredited
laboratories in Jaipur, Hyderabad and Mohali,
as ordered by the Bombay High Court prior to
commencing sales in the market.
The Swiss food major has also partnered with
online marketplace Snapdeal for selling Maggi.
They promoted Maggi by providing free
samples from their web site.
This time they didnt came with any brand
ambassador, they use emotions of their
costumers for repositioning their brand.
