Pitch BrandTalk 2025, set to take place in Delhi on 21 November, will explore the theme ‘Building Connections in a BANI World.’ Among the key speakers, Manav Sahni, Business Head Dairy Business, Nestlé India, will present ‘Dairy: At The Heart of Nestlé India,’ offering a sharp view of how the company is modernising its dairy portfolio while staying rooted in trust and quality.
Sahni will highlight Milkmaid’s renewed journey, showing how the brand blends nostalgia with digital-first engagement through creator-led recipes, festive content, and always-on communication. Milkmaid’s evolution reflects how Nestlé is balancing heritage with contemporary consumer expectations.
He will also outline Nestlé’s premiumisation strategy, emphasising innovations such as Greek yoghurt, ready-to-drink cold coffees, lactose-free dahi, and fortified variants. These launches show how the company is responding to India’s growing demand for global flavours and health-oriented dairy choices.
Digital acceleration will be another focus, with Sahni discussing the expanding role of quick commerce, retail media networks, and real-time consumer data. These tools are helping Nestlé deepen penetration, personalise engagement, and strengthen consumption occasions.
In a competitive market shaped by strong cooperatives and rising regional players, Sahni will explain how Nestlé differentiates itself through quality assurance, global expertise, and meaningful innovation. He will also comment on key industry shifts, including potential consolidation and evolving consumer behaviour.
Sustainability will feature prominently, as Nestlé advances its goals in recyclable packaging, responsible sourcing, and ecosystem-friendly dairy practices, an increasingly important factor for conscious Indian consumers.
With its mix of insight and innovation, Sahni’s session at BrandTalk 2025 will offer a concise yet compelling view of how Nestlé is shaping the next chapter of India’s dairy story, blending heritage, health, and modernity in a dynamic BANI world.
