With over 100 plus FMCG companies participating in this event such as Hindustan Unilever, Mondelez, Marico, Zydus Wellness, Nestle India and PepsiCo, there were as many as 15 different categories for nominations.

Yakult Danone India was declared a winner in the prestigious "Probiotic Product Company of the Year" category.

While receiving the award Hiroshi Hamada, the recently appointed Managing Director of Yakult Danone India Pvt. Ltd. remarked, "This is indeed a proud moment for the Yakult family as also a great reassurance and reinforcement for our brand by our valued and satisfied consumer base.

Probiotics is not new to India but requires continuous consumer engagement to explain the scientifically validated health benefits of Probiotics and Yakult India offers immense opportunities for consumption of probiotics because of its vast consumer base and diverse geography. We will strive and continue to deliver this promise to consumers through our signature Probiotic-Yakult and Yakult Light which improve intestinal health and help build immunity for a better and more productive life."
