"We are very large in the value offering and we have several premium products as well. This is an effort to build up a large platform of premium product offerings that we have. Today we have launched sports nutrition-based products, we have got millet-based products in the biscuits category and we have got a dry fruit range which we are offering under the brand Nutrela. All of these products we have launched with an idea to develop a big strong Nutrela brand range for the company," Asthana said.
