Unilever's Pond's toothpaste failed in the Indian market due to brand perception issues. As a skin cream and soap brand, Pond's was associated with smell and topical use, whereas toothpaste is associated with taste and internal mouth use. Customers did not find the brand attributes of Pond's suitable for toothpaste. Similarly, Tata Nano failed due to incorrect positioning as a budget upgrade from two-wheelers, when customers instead aspired to own a regular car. Kellogg's cereal also failed in India by not recognizing that Indians prefer a filling breakfast like chapatis over corn flakes, and by not adapting products to local tastes.
