The more diverse the group, the higher the probability of getting things right – is an agenda that HCCB has been driving. From building a factory at Sananda, which employs 40% women to employing the world’s first lady operator of the Plasmax (a state-of-the-art) machine, HCCB has come a long way. The focus now is on minimising the unconscious biases or prejudices that sometime creep in.

On International Women’s Day, Poornima Kamath, Chief Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) Officer, shares her thoughts on different dimensions of D&I efforts at HCCB.

HCCB gets one more product on the block. In a bid to provide the consumer with a new refreshing drink to beat the summer heat, the company recently introduced the all-new Minute Maid Apple Sparkle Pop, customised for the palates of the consumers in Gujarat

Among other ingredients, the drink essentially contains 10.4% apple juice. The product is yet another example of the company’s efforts to encourage hyper-localization and cater to the local tastes and preferences.

With a shelf life of 4 months, Minute Maid Apple Sparkle Pop will be available in a 250ml variant, under the ‘juice with fizz’ category.

The product surely packs a punch with its real apple juice and affordable price point.
