The brand has appointed Dulquer Salmaan as Brand Ambassador for ‘SMOODH’ in South Indian markets.
Parle Agro has launched SMOODH Fruit Smoothies under their dairy brand, SMOODH. The new launch is an everyday indulgence, offering the delicious combination of yummy fruits and goodness of yoghurt in a variety of delightful flavours. Parle Agro has signed on the ever charming Dulquer Salmaan as the brand ambassador of ‘SMOODH’ for southern markets of India. He joins Varun Dhawan who is the face of the brand nationally.
SMOODH Fruit Smoothies is an ode to India’s love for beverages, yoghurt and fruits. The culmination of all three favorites resulted in the refreshingly delicious blend of Parle Agro’s fruit Smoothies that consumers can add to their daily diet. The rich, creamy and indulgent Smoothies come in three distinctive variants – ‘Guava Chilli’ a desi blend of sweet guava with a hint of spicy chilli, ‘Banana Rum Flavour’ bringing the sweet taste of bananas with a toasty flair, and ‘Mixed Berries’ a delicious combination of strawberries, blueberries & cranberries. The flavours were carefully crafted, taking into consideration the tastes that Indians traditionally consume.
Parle Agro has launched SMOODH Fruit Smoothies priced at Rs. 10 for 85ml carton pack. Anticipating the requirement of a larger pack, SMOODH Fruit Smoothies is also available in convenient-to-handle PET bottles priced at Rs. 15 for 125 ml bottle. Currently, no dairy beverage brand exists in the market at this price point in the country.
Commenting on the launch of SMOODH Fruit Smoothies, Nadia Chauhan, Joint Managing Director and CMO, Parle Agro said, “India is a dairy-loving country. Keeping that in mind, coupled with the huge success of Smoodh flavoured milk, we’ve expanded our SMOODH dairy brand to launch another exceptional offering, SMOODH Fruit Smoothies. The range is built on our passion for understanding our consumers, listening to their needs and preferences, and introducing products that resonate with them.With our new offering, consumers will get to enjoy their favourite snack in a drinkable form in a variety of unique flavours at the price of Rs. 10; an offering that’s never existed in the Indian market before.
Speaking about the vision going forward, Chauhan added, “We are passionate about setting ambitious goals as that’s what drives us. SMOODH Fruit Smoothies is another step towards our vision of making our dairy brand, SMOODH an INR 5000 crore brand by 2025.”
Dulquer Salmaan makes his debut for SMOODH in a TVC for the fruit Smoothies’ product line. Known for his massive, loyal fan base and charismatic persona, Dulquer Salmaan fits the energetic appeal of SMOODH. The brand aims to build a familiar and trustworthy engagement with its consumers in the south Indian markets through Dulquer Salmaan, a credible household name known for his ability to captivate and delight the masses.

We are confident of achieving and advancing that goal with Dulquer Salmaan as the face of our brand in southern India. He is a great fit, as he has the ability to charm and resonate with people across age groups, which is what SMOODH is all about.”
