ABSTRACT

                             This  case  study  discusses  in  depth  the  growth,  success  and  decline    of  a  noodle  market  giant   Nestle’s  Maggi. This  case  discusses  its  growth  in  Indian  market  wherein  consumer  psyche  was  against any  kind  of  junk  food  and  that  too  noodles  made  of  white  floor.  But  Maggi’s  product  features  and  easy  cooking  method  along  with  its  marketing  strategies  and  long product  line  made  it not  only a very  popular  but  a  monopolistic  brand.  But  due  to  some  mistakes  and  malfunctioning  it  fell  into  controversies.  This  case  discusses  that  how  a  brand  can  get  sabotaged  and  crash  in  the  market  if  it  doesn’t  follow  the  legalities  and  proves  to  be  harmful  for  the  consumers  because  today’s  consumer  is  very  clever  and  well  informed  about  its  rights  and  government  norms.

  

Key words: Nestle’s  Maggi, noodles, junk  food
