Parle was founded in 1929 in Mumbai by Mohan Lal Dayal and began as a candy manufacturer. In 1939, they began producing biscuits under the brand Parle Gluco, which became hugely popular in India. Over time, Parle G became India's most consumed biscuit. It is now produced and distributed across India, with over 400 million Parle G biscuits produced daily. Though the brand has faced challenges like competition and internal disputes, it has grown its product portfolio and maintained its popularity through strategic pricing, production, and marketing campaigns that highlight the brand's nostalgia and ubiquity in Indian culture.
