5) NIL shifted its focus from working women and targeted children and their mothers through its marketing.
Foodles made it realistic by carefully choosing a potential niche market segment for itself. It targeted a mix of health-conscious consumers. First, it targeted those who were regular users of noodles but were also worried over the health issues attached to it.

Foodles’ claim to be a differentiated product strongly reflected in its mix of healthy ingredients like rice, ragi, wheat and corn. “Besides, Foodles provides nine vital power vitamins and great taste. The noodle mat is fortified with iron and calcium,” Pandey informs.
