Reason Behind Parle-G’s Massive Success?

Mayank Shah, category head at Parle Products said, “During the lockdown, Parle-G became the comfort food for many; and for several others it was the only food they had on them. This is a common man’s biscuit; people who cannot afford bread – buy Parle-G.”

As per Shah, several state governments requested for the biscuits to be provided to them, kept in touch with the company and asked them about their stock positions. In addition to that, several NGOs also bought huge quantities of the biscuits. Despite the earthquakes and tsunamis, Parle-G has also always found its sales increasing. 

He also said that people rely on Parle-G because it has a greater shelf life than most other cookies. 

Reportedly, Parle-G makes around 400 million biscuits in a day, across 130 factories around the country. The company also announced that they donated three crore packs of Parle-G biscuits as the COVID-19 situation grew tense in India.
