According to the company‘s official website, Kellogg India has opened its first manufacturing plant in Mumbai. Since its inception, the brand has aimed to target the breakfast market with easy-to-prepare cereals and ready meals. In its attempt to adapt to the local market and create edibles more suited to the Indian palate, Kellogg India launched its Kellogg’s Upma breakfast product early last year.
Mahindra’s tweet instantly caught the attention of internet users, who were quick to share their take on the meme. While many were amused, others said that it was not so easy to change Indian eating habits.
“Our recipes have evolved over thousands of years. A new recipe can’t just fall and take over like a Hollywood movie, â€read one of the many comments on the viral post.
Western foods have expiration dates, but our local street foods are the champions.

The beauty is that they have marked a local product and that they show a willingness to adapt. How many Indian retailers have done this? I applaud Kellogg’s for expanding its product portfolio.

Kellogg was forced to adapt and market food products of local taste and habits. But they can be to some extent successful in bringing their products to niche customers.
