About Nestle India

Nestle India is a leading FMCG company that entered India with its first manufacturing factory in 1961.

A variety of brands fall under the Nestle flag, including dairy and nutrition brands like Nestle Milkmaid, and Nestle Raita, beverages such as the Nescafe coffee variants and Nestea and chocolates and confectionary products like Kit Kat and Milky bar.

Most famously, Nestle is the parent brand of Maggi which manufactures ready to eat foods. Last year, Maggi noodles were repeatedly in the news for health concerns, which caused a ban on the product for a few months.
