Orkla India's success story is intricately linked to its ability to cultivate deep consumer connections with its flagship brands, MTR Foods and Eastern Condiments. These brands have transcended mere products, becoming household names synonymous with tradition, taste, and trust in Indian kitchens. MTR and Eastern Condiments are not just market leaders in their respective categories (ready-to-eat meals and spices), but also enjoy a special place in consumers' hearts.
A significant portion of Orkla India's sales come from exports. MTR and Eastern condiments resonate with the Indian diaspora and those seeking a taste of authentic Indian flavours. The "love" for these brands transcends geographical boundaries, making them successful exports.
