World-renowned probiotic brand Yakult has taken the prestigious “Probiotic Product Company of the Year” Award.
The event was organized by Synnex Group at the 3rd India Food Nutrition Summit and Awards 2022 recently. The Summit, which was initiated in 2018, has been an interactive forum where the food industry, regulators, nutrition experts, policy makers, and other stakeholders come together to discuss, deliberate, exchange information, and share new ideas for the developing functional foods, nutraceuticals, dietary supplements, and health foods industry in India.
It is heartening to know that in a country like India, the nutraceutical industry, which was valued at INR 260 Bn in 2017, is now gaining more ground. It is now expected to grow at a 17 percent CAGR to a whopping INR 997 by 2035.With consumer awareness, it is witnessing sheer dynamism with new players offering innovative and healthy products and solutions to consumers to help them lead a healthy lifestyle.
This high-profiled event witnessed the participation of over 100 plus FMCG companies such as Hindustan Unilever, Mondelez, Marico, Zydus Wellness, Nestle India, and PepsiCo. There were as many as 15 different categories for nominations. Yakult Danone India was declared a winner in the prestigious “Probiotic Product Company of the Year” category.
However, receiving the award, Hiroshi Hamada, the recently appointed Managing Director of Yakult Danone India Pvt. Ltd., said, “This is indeed a proud moment for the Yakult family as well as a great reassurance and reinforcement for our brand by our valued and satisfied consumer base.”
Probiotics are not new to India but require continuous consumer engagement to explain the scientifically validated health benefits of probiotics and Yakult India offers immense opportunities for consumption of probiotics because of its vast consumer base and diverse geography.
The company strives to deliver this promise to consumers through our signature Probiotic-Yakult and Yakult Light, which improve intestinal health and help build immunity for a better and more productive life.
