In fact, we take utmost proud that all our products are loved due to its
delicious flavour and fresh taste across Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Delhi-NCR,

group, with own plant capacity of producing 150MT export quality rice, has

5. 5 | P a g e
consumer a perfect taste and culinary experience. Veetaday, today holds the
largestfood processing capacity in northern India. Today, Veetaday Group owns
6 manufacturing units across the states of Uttar Pradesh, manufacturing rice,
bakery products, namkeens, and other confectionery items.
Veetaday is a homeproductof Good Morning, which is one popular name when
it comes to the bread and rice manufacturers in Uttar Pradesh and nearby
region. we deal with 1121, 1409,1509 basmati rice. Along with it, we are the
manufacturer of brown rice, Sona Masoori and ponni rice brand started in the
year 2015 and since then it has been serving the people with fresh products.
Veetaday group holds an experience of 35 years in the food industry both at the
manufacturing and trading on a global level.
The training wherewe completed our training happened in Lucknow, industrial
sector near deva road. The factory only product developed there was rusks
which is of two types Milk Toast and Elaichi Toast.
When Lucknow-based brothers Raghav Agarwal and Arjun Agarwal started
cookie brand 'Veetaday' in 2014,they didn't expect to shut their entire cookie
division in just two years.
After their premium cookies (which were costly to make) did not sell well
enough, closing it down was inevitable.
But the brothers soldiered on. They were not ready to declare the business a
failure, and discovered that in fact, they already had an ace in the hole.
Alongside cookies, Veetaday used to make rusks (milk toasts). They weren't
the focus of the brand, but they were doing so well that Veetaday pivoted
completely to become a rusk brand.
"Over three years, our rusks became popular across Punjab, Haryana, Delhi-
NCR, Jammu and Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and
Himachal Pradesh," Raghav says.
Raghav is now expecting his rusk sales solely to rake in Rs 25 crore for the
company this year.
Market share and pricing
The $7.22 billion Indian bakery market Veetaday is operating in is largely
unorganised. 90 percent of rusks,pastries, cakes, and buns in India come from
6. 6 | P a g e
the unorganised sector, according to research by Niir Project Consultancy
Services.
In this unorganised bakery market, Veetaday is competing with the likes
of Britannia and Parle to bring more of the market under recognised brands.
But Veetaday isn't a mere follower; the brand is leading the rusks segment in
product quality, Raghav maintains.
"The quality and taste of our rusks are the heart of our brand. Like how Parle
is instantly associated with Parle-G biscuits, we are known for rusks," Raghav
says.
A Veetaday combo package of three packets of rusks retails at an MRP of Rs
105. To capture the market, Veetaday has been selling the pack at a
discounted price of Rs 80.
"We picked this approach since it is tough delivering bakery products in small
packages at low prices. Our approach, combined with our focus on quality
helped us capture the market," he explains.
Veetaday's retail strategy also sets it apart from the big players in the
market: the brand doesn't sell in big supermarkets.
"We have no tieups with big retail chains like Walmart, Big Bazaar, and
others because we don't believein selling on a credit basis. Instead, we have
a network of over 50,000 small retailers, such as local shops and bakeries,"
he says.
These local bakeries are enticed into stocking Veetaday's rusks as their own
rusks have no guarantee of standardised quality or taste. Raghav claims that
since his rusks are more hygienic and have a longer shelf life (six months), it
makes more sense for a bakery to buy from Veetaday.
"With this approach, we are clocking monthly sales of 18 lakh packets of
rusks," Raghav explains.
