 After spending months researching the consumption habits and
consumer behaviour, ITC has based its campaign on solid research
insights.

 The company's in-house research team of eight people travelled


extensively across the country, studying typical home-made
snacks such as bhel, khakras, gol gappas and so on. The verdict:
as many as 70 per cent of those surveyed confirmed that they
would like to have snacks which are slightly familiar yet have
variations in taste.

 To achieve this, the company turned to the chefs from its


restaurant business to dish out new and tasty combinations of
existing delicacies. They created 16 different varieties inspired
from regular snacks such as potato chips, khakra and pakodas.
