Expanding the portfolio successfully in the midst of a pandemic is a clear testimony to our determination and ambition. Looking forth, we not only aim to build the malt flavoured fruit drink category further with B Fizz, but with the combined might of Appy Fizz and B Fizz, we intend to build the sparkling fruit drink category to a 10,000 crore category by 2030.” opined Nadia Chauhan, Joint Managing Director and CMO, Parle Agro.

Speaking on appointing Arjun Kapoor as Ambassador, Ms. Chauhan said, “Arjun Kapoor is the perfect choice to represent the ‘bold’, ‘unique’ characteristics of B Fizz and we are elated to have him onboard as the ambassador for the brand.

The refreshing duo is sure to drive reach and build greater visibility for the brand and make B Fizz an easy pick for beverage consumers across India.”
