It offers a wide range of 70+ products spanning across categories of Western breakfast (Oats, Muesli, Granola, Flakes), Indian breakfast (Poha, Upma, Dosa), and Snacks (Roasted seeds, Seed mixes, Raw seeds) amongst others. Currently available in over 90 online platforms and in over 12,000 retail outlets, True Elements plans to significantly ramp up its offline presence over the next few years.
Saugata Gupta, MD and CEO, Marico Limited, said, "True Elements is another step towards expanding our total addressable market in the healthy foods segment. We believe the ethos of the brand complements the purpose that drives Marico. The exciting range of products brings to life the rare and virtuous blend of quality, taste and health at the right price. This adds another digital-first brand in our portfolio, which not only has a distinct proposition but also exhibits strong fundamentals along with a growing digital and offline presence."
Puru Gupta, CEO and Co-founder, True Elements, said, "We are delighted to have entered a strategic partnership with Marico. As a brand, True Elements has always focused on staying True across all its touchpoints- including Purpose, People, Product and Planet, and we are glad to have found a partner who echoes this way of thinking. True Elements built its first phase of growth behind a portfolio of innovative Clean Food and building high consumer trust- while we continue to push the bar on those, our next phase will be focused on long term brand building and accelerating our entry into newer households"
