The HinduIndependentCenter11 hr. ago

Emami Agrotech Ltd., a subsidiary of the Emami Group, launched the ready-to-eat snack brand 'WeMe' in Kolkata on August 6, 2026. The brand focuses on digital-first marketing strategies targeting younger consumers through social media and quick-commerce platforms. WeMe offers three initial product lines: choco hazelnut spread, Jhuri Aloo Bhaja, and multi-flavor potato chips. Products are available in major cities like Kolkata, Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad. The company plans to invest ₹750 crore over five to seven years to grow WeMe into a ₹1,000-crore brand. The launch includes plans for a new manufacturing unit in West Bengal, though timelines remain uncertain due to ongoing land acquisition. The initiative aligns with Emami Agrotech's broader strategy to diversify into branded staples and kitchen essentials.
