3. Setting the Stage for Basmati Purity

India Gate in association Eat Right India (An FSSAI campaign), has been holding the first-ever “Basmati Rice No Compromise” Conclave 2023 across the nation. This movement, with an aim to educate the consumers about the regulations introduced on basmati rice by the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), set off its road shows in the first leg including Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur, and Bhopal and will be followed by further cities, including Lucknow, Patna, Ahmedabad, Pune, Chennai, and Hyderabad.

This is the first time that the FSSAI has established identity requirements for multiple types of basmati rice, including brown basmati, milled basmati, parboiled brown basmati, and milled parboiled basmati. These rules, as specified in the Food Safety and Rules (Food Products Standards and Food Additives) First Amendment Regulations, 2023, were published in the Gazette of India.

Sharing his views on the commercial and educational campaign, Kunal Sharma, Head of Marketing at KRBL, explains, “We are committed to our customers, and we have taken it upon ourselves to educate them about eating right and the importance of choosing right. We laud the FSSAI for proactively creating an identification criterion for Basmati rice. These measures will certainly strengthen customer confidence in the authenticity and integrity of our precious basmati rice, both in India and globally. As the Worlds No. 1 basmati rice brand, India Gate is dedicated to maintaining the purity of basmati grains with respect to standards.”

The agencies that have worked with KRBL in bringing this campaign to life are Creative Land Asia, Lyxel & Flamingo, Wavemaker and Consocia Advisory. All the agencies came together to create a narrative to convey a strong message that showcases KRBL as a category leader and is committed to its goals.
