“We have been witnessing walkers at lakes throwing bread and biscuit pieces at birds oftentimes in the past. But now more and more people are feeding birds food items such as chips, popcorn, biscuits, spicy fried items, etc. While most of the items are picked by pigeons and crows, other birds too end up feeding on these more often than not,” said JN Prasad, a city based bird enthusiast.
Parle-G, the iconic biscuit brand in India, has remained popular with the masses for decades. It has been a symbol of India s large consuming class, including the poor population. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Parle-G became a relief food for migrants and donated millions of packs to the needy. Despite challenges like higher taxes and rising inflation, Parle-G continues to dominate the biscuit market and has expanded into premium products.
