They were a bit pricey, but our parents still got them for us as bait so we would not miss school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even Generation X (before the &#8217;80s) has been cherishing Britannia products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let us talk about the bakery giant behind the most-loved cakes, cashew cookies, milk cookies, and more: Britannia Industries Limited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"0-britannia-industries-history-biscuits-bread-and-beyond-\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Britannia_Industries_History-_Biscuits_Bread_and_Beyond\"><\/span>Britannia Industries History- Biscuits, Bread, and Beyond\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Britannia owner, Nusli Wadia, has been at the core of Britannia Industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is how the now most loved household biscuit and bakery brand has grown over the span of 130 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Sweet Beginnings (1892-1900s)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This chapter takes you back to the early days when Britannia biscuits were just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 1892, Britannia started as a small biscuit-making company in Kolkata, India,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A bunch of Britishers in Kolkata decided to start something sweet, which was later named Britannia Industries.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know they kicked off the whole venture with just Rs. 295?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s hard to believe that they started what became a giant biscuit company with such a small amount of money! Initially, they baked biscuits, cakes, and bread, mainly for British officers and tea planters in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wartime Heroes and Post-Independence Challenges (1910-1947)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From supplying service biscuits to the British Army during the Second World War to facing challenges post-independence, this era was special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the years rolled on, in 1918, Britannia became a public limited company. And thus, came the name Britannia Biscuit Company Limited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britannia achieved a milestone by becoming the first company east of the Suez Canal to utilise imported gas ovens. Their business was thriving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the Second World War \u2013 Britannia supplied biscuits to the Indian Army and even set up a training centre for disabled soldiers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That was like turning biscuits into a force for good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1924, Britannia established a new factory in Mumbai. During the same year, the company became a subsidiary of Peek Frean &amp; Company Limited UK, a prominent biscuit manufacturing company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Post Independence Era<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After India got its independence in 1947, things got tricky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were challenges left and right! There was partition, shortages of raw materials, and tough competition from other biscuit makers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But did Britannia back down?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No way!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By <strong>1965<\/strong>, Britannia opened a new bakery in Delhi to meet the growing demand for their bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, in <strong>1975<\/strong>, they took over the task of delivering biscuits from Parry\u2019s. <strong>1976<\/strong> saw Britannia\u2019s reach grow as they began selling their bread in both Calcutta and Chennai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two years later, in <strong>1978<\/strong>, Britannia invited people to buy shares, and to their delight, Indians responded eagerly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>1979<\/strong>, Britannia made a significant move by changing its name from Britannia Biscuit Company Limited to Britannia Industries Limited!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The &#8217;90s Shake-Up and Total Foods Vision (1990s-2000s)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As India&#8217;s economy opened up, Britannia faced new challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This part of the story unfolds the &#8217;90s shake-up, marking the journey towards becoming a total foods company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8217;90s brought big changes when the Indian economy opened up.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More companies entered the bakery market, and Britannia Industries had to step up its game, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To make that happen, they shook things up \u2013 a new look, a new mindset, and an all-new Britannia products list. It included names like Tiger, NutriChoice, Little Hearts, and 50-50.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And guess what?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were ranked among India&#8217;s most trusted brands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Growth_Innovation_and_Beyond_2000s-Present\"><\/span>Growth, Innovation, and Beyond (2000s-Present)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2000, they hit a whopping Rs 1000 crore in turnover \u2013 that&#8217;s like rolling in biscuit dough!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <strong>2022<\/strong>, Britannia entered a joint venture with French cheese maker Bel Group. They opened a cheese manufacturing plant in Maharashtra in <strong>October 2024<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britannia has partnered with Accenture to modernise its business operations through digital transformation. This includes enhanced data visibility, automation, and analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not only this, Britannia has launched AI-powered campaigns and platforms such as NutriChoice\u2019s diet planning chatbot and NutriPlus app to promote health and nutrition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britannia&#8217;s story continues.\u2013 Britannia Industries is still baking up a storm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;ve added more goodies to their lineup \u2013 cakes, rusk, croissants, milkshakes, and even coconut water.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"1-about-britannia-industries\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"About_Britannia_Industries\"><\/span>About Britannia Industries<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Britannia Industries is currently ranked fifth among the top FMCG companies based on market capitalisation.
