We plan to extend our offerings to various segments of the dairy drinks category, from affordable stock keeping units to premium and indulgent experiences and are looking for an all-India outreach with a focus on top metros,” said Varun Berry, managing director of Britannia Industries.
Winkin’ Cow has a strong presence in South India, but the company now plans to extend it to the North as well. The company aims to grow its brand by 50-60% annually with the infusion of consumer-led franchise-building as well as portfolio expansions.
