PepsiCo is marching on a mission to focus on nutrition: Indra Nooyi

Indra Nooyi, CEO and Chairman, PepsiCo is on a two day visit to India with an aim to rehash the company’s strategies in India. The company has recently reshaped its portfolio and now it is focusing more on health and wellness category.

During her recent visit to Chennai, she went to few south-Indian restaurants to strike a conversation on how the company can make familiar food health. Nooyi was accompanied by PepsiCo's nutrition ambassador Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna.

The duo discussed and even pen down ideas that can help PepsiCo to make familiar traditional foods healthy. The company is now ramping up its operations to expand its offerings to whole grains, fruits and vegetables across the Indian corridors.

Elaborating on her recent experience, Nooyi commented that as lifestyles continue to change, PepsiCo is on a mission to dial up the nutrition in our portfolio. While revealing the important business data of the company she stated in June that company’s star product ‘Pepsi’ soft drink only account for 12 per cent of the company’s total revenue and hence, it has decided to shift the pendulum to wellness and nutrition category.

“Chef Vikas has provided great inspiration for the company here in India and has played a key role in developing new recipes that are convenient, affordable, delicious and healthy. We had a great time sitting down at a local eatery and enjoying some of my favorite traditional dishes, while exchanging ideas on how we can adapt these time-honored recipes with a knowledge of nutrition informed by the latest science,” added Nooyi.
