Bisleri was originally an Italian company that was introduced in India in 1965. It was later bought by Parle, who expanded operations and switched bottle types. In the 1990s, competition increased as new brands entered the market. To respond, Bisleri reinforced its safety messaging, launched new products, invested in advertising, and expanded production facilities and distribution channels. Today, Bisleri has over 50 plants across India and 60% of the bottled water market share.
