Nestle introduced the Maggi brand in India in 1982, creating a new category of instant noodles. Maggi became very popular as a snack food in India. Nestle segmented the market based on lifestyle and eating habits, targeting kids, youth, and working women as convenience products that cook quickly. Maggi positioned itself as fulfilling hunger fast in 2 minutes with slogans about taste, health, and ease of preparation. Over time, Maggi expanded its product line and used promotions, celebrity endorsements, and market research to strengthen its brand in India.
