Hence trying to substitute it with noodles would have been futile. The firm did not position it as a ‘ready-to-eat’ meal either, as the housewife prefers to ‘make’ a meal for her kids rather than buy it for them. And if she can make it in two minutes with very little effort, then obviously it’s a hit with her! What’s more, if kids also love the taste, the product is as good as sold! So the ‘2-minute’ funda coupled with the ‘yummy taste worked!

BRAND STORY
Launched in 5 flavors initially – Masala, chicken, Capsicum, sweet & sour, and Lasagna – Maggi had to fight hard to be accepted by Indian consumers with their hard-to-change eating habits. The packaged food market was very small at this time, Nestle had to promote noodles as a concept, before it could promote Maggi as a brand. It therefore devised a two-pronged strategy to attract mothers on the ‘convenience’ plank and lure kids on the ‘fun’ plank. Gradually, the market for instant noodles began to grow. The company also decided to focus on promotions to increase the brand awreness. In the initial years, Nestle promotional activities for Maggi included schemes offering gifts( such as toys and utensils) in return for empty noodles pack.

This case study is about the crisis that happened to Nestle’s brand Maggi. This case details how a company who was running successfully and was the market leader for the past 30 years in the instant noodles segment, was suddenly banned in the whole country. Owing to concerns related to MSG and Lead levels in Maggi samples, many state government banned usage of Maggi. The MSG and the lead levels were found way above the permissible limits.
It is because they stomach is small so the quantity is enough for them. Besides that, that have 73% customers think the quantity per one pack Maggi noodle are too little. They think the quantity of Maggi noodles cannot fulfil their appetite, they always eat one and half pack or two pack of Maggi.
| In 2008, the global pasta market reached $10 billion dollars. Pasta sales are estimated to grow by at least 10% for the next few years. This growth can be attributed to several different factors. While not all pasta is ‘good for you’, particularly the cream‐based sauces, pasta can be very tasty. Sarto’s sees no real substitute for what it provides – ‘Impossible to substitute this taste and offer’, according to Sarto’s owner and founder, M. Sarto.
This is an early steps taken by Nestle after Maggi had banned by authorities after they contain higher level of lead than permitted. After the banning, Maggi had gone their public trust, so through this partnership had better chance to grab back their market share. Maggi has been relaunched in 100 towns through 300 distributors and will continue to relaunch their products in many other areas. Maggi was allowed back to sell their product when they had passed tests conducted by three-government accredited laboratories by the Indian

In 1947 Nestlé acquired the Maggi brand. Today the tradition continues around the world. Whether it’s Maggi bouillons, soups, seasonings, noodles or sauces, consumers have come to know and trust the Maggi brand for its high quality, convenience and
Since cooking is a thing that people often lazy to do, especially when they are quite busy with their university life or at their job, people consume Indomie as a simple way to eat because cooking it only took about 3 to 5 minutes, this makes Indomie as a ‘saving time food”. In addition, the taste of Indomie noodles matches the taste of this generation, who love pasta and fast foods. Thus people eat instant noodle as a convenient choice to save up time, in addition to saving money.
