Maggi entered in Indian market in the 1980s, Maggi was positioned in the European
countries as a lunch meal for working women, which saves time and provide nutritious
values as well. Nestle tried to do the same thing in India i.e., positioning Maggi as a
lunch meal which saves time and provide nutritious vales, but it failed in India.

women in India which was very less compared to Europe where the number of working
women was 35-40%.

rice as a meal for lunch, where Maggi will not stand a chance to replace these meals.

house wives and cook evening snacks for their school children.

easy to cook(in 2 mins).
Nestle launched a campaign “ Maggi bas 2 min mein”.
