At Pitch BrandTalk 2025, Manav Sahni, Business Head – Dairy, will lay out how Nestlé is rewriting its dairy playbook for a hyper-dynamic, BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Non-linear, Incomprehensible) world. Expect a clean mix of heritage, innovation, and tech-driven precision.
Milkmaid: Nostalgia Meets Digital Firepower
Milkmaid is not just hanging onto its legacy; it’s repackaging it for the digital-first consumer.
What Sahni will spotlight:
- Creator-led content: YouTube cooks, Instagram dessert artists, festival campaigns
- Always-on engagement: Recipes, hacks, micro-content cycles
- Emotional equity + digital reach = a textbook case of brand modernisation

Premiumisation: Nestlé’s Growth Engine
Nestlé is doubling down on high-margin, high-demand categories. Expect emphasis on:
- Greek yoghurt
- Lactose-free and fortified dahi
- RTD cold coffee variants
- International-style dairy flavours
This is Nestlé capitalising on the “urban India + aspirational India” demand curve.
Digital Acceleration: Nestlé’s Quiet Superpower
Sahni will outline how digital is now the backbone of the dairy business:
- Quick commerce for impulse-driven dairy (cold coffee, yoghurt cups, premium dahi)
- Retail media networks for precise, data-led in-store nudging
- Real-time consumer data for dynamic pricing, flavour launches, and personalised promotions
This is how Nestlé plans to turn distribution muscle into digital dominance.
Competing in a Crowded Dairy Market
India’s dairy battlefield is intense—Amul, Nandini, Milma, Verka, regional powerhouses… and cooperatives winning on trust and price.
Sahni will position Nestlé differently:
- Quality assurance backed by Swiss protocols
- Global R&D + India-specific insights
- Faster innovation cycles
Nestlé’s target is clear: premium, clean-label, safe, innovative dairy.
Industry Outlook: Consolidation & Consumer Shifts
Nestlé expects:
- More consolidation among mid-tier dairy companies
- Stronger play by regional brands
- Consumers shifting towards:
- Health-oriented dairy
- Functional dairy
- Convenient, on-the-go formats
Nestlé wants to be the “safe, premium, reliable” anchor as the market reshapes.
Sustainability: A Non-Negotiable Pillar
Nestlé will highlight measurable steps in:
- Recyclable packaging expansion
- Responsible sourcing from farmers
- Low-carbon dairy practices
- Water stewardship
- Improved traceability
This is partly consumer-driven, partly compliance-driven—but it’s now central to Nestlé’s brand story.
In a Nutshell
Manav Sahni’s BrandTalk 2025 session is Nestlé’s declaration of how it plans to lead the next decade of Indian dairy:
Heritage + Health + Premiumisation + Digital Precision + Sustainability → India’s next-gen dairy blueprint.
