ITC Aashirvaad gets fibre in the spotlight

MUMBAI: Looks like India’s finally talking roughage without getting rough around the edges. As part of Rashtriya Poshan Maah 2025, ITC Aashirvaad teamed up with the Institute of Home Economics (Delhi University) to host an engaging seminar on the role of dietary fibre in health.

With digestive health concerns on the rise, recent surveys reveal that over 70 per cent of Indians fall short of daily fibre needs, women more than men. The findings, from Aashirvaad’s multigrain happy tummy survey covering eight lakh respondents, point to an urgent need for dietary awareness as low fibre intake is increasingly linked to obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

AIIMS dietitian Richa Jaiswal led the expert session, stressing how fibre-rich foods are vital for both prevention and management of non-communicable diseases. “There’s an urgent need to re-emphasise fibre’s role in maintaining gut health,” she said, urging future nutritionists to be champions of awareness.

Reinforcing the brand’s commitment, Aashirvaad Staples and Meals, ITC Ltd. vice president & head of marketing Abhishek Mehrotra, said the initiative aligns with ITC’s ‘Help India eat better’ mission to empower consumers through nutrition education.

Echoing this, ITC Ltd. vice president & head of food sciences Shantanu Das, added that the company continues to focus on science-backed dietary solutions to improve community well-being.

The session wrapped up with a spirited Q&A and a creative inter-college recipe contest, where students reinvented traditional dishes with a nutritious twist, proving that when it comes to better health, the secret really is in the fibre.

Plates with purpose: ITC Aashirvaad turns Navratri feasts into care acts

MUMBAI: Food for thought, with a side of care. This Navratri, ITC Aashirvaad Soul Creations has launched ‘Nav creations,’ a festive initiative that transforms everyday vrat meals into acts of kindness.

At a time when families gather over wholesome vrat thalis and young kanyas are celebrated as symbols of purity, many girls remain outside the festive circle. ‘Nav creations’ steps in to bridge that gap, ensuring each order adds a touch of warmth to lives that might otherwise go unnoticed.

Here’s how it works, every order from the ‘Nav creations’ menu on Swiggy or Zomato comes with a festive card and a QR code. By uploading proof of purchase, customers earn 100 coins. Once 500 coins are collected, Aashirvaad Soul Creations serves a wholesome Navratri meal to a young kanya. To spread the joy further, contributors also receive a personalised ‘Nav creations’ digital frame to share online.

The vrat-special menu itself stays true to tradition, prepared without onion or garlic and using only sendha namak. From kuttu paneer pakodas with kali mirch dip, velvety vrat paneer curry, and fluffy sabudana khichdi thalis to soft sabudana parathas and rajgira pooris paired with comforting aloo subzi, each dish brings the festive kitchen to the table.

Available across Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune until 2 October, the menu is more than convenient festive dining. With ‘Nav creations,’ every plate becomes a prayer, and every order an offering of care.

ITC Aashirvaad launches ‘Boga Atta’

MUMBAI: ITC Aashirvaad brings a uniquely crafted Aashirvaad Boga Atta for its discerning consumers in Assam. A premium fine white atta especially designed to meet the region’s culinary needs.

Continuing in its endeavor to provide quality products to the Assamese consumer, Aashirvaad has launched Boga Atta as the current products available in the Assam market are mostly sold in loose format, lacking hygiene and consistency leading to inferior consumer experience.

Aashirvaad Boga Atta crafted with superior quality wheat and made using an advanced milling process, offers the perfect balance of taste, and hygiene. Its fine white texture makes it ideal for preparing a wide range of local favourites, from fluffy luchis and Rotis to other traditional Assamese dishes like pithas, ensuring a delicious and satisfying experience in every bite.

ITC Ltd COO – Staples and Adjacencies, Foods Division, Anuj Rustagi said, “With the launch of Aashirvaad Boga Atta, we are bringing Assamese families an atta that matches regional specifications of taste and quality. This launch is a testament to Aashirvaad’s commitment to regional relevance and our mission to bring uncompromising quality to every Indian kitchen. With Aashirvaad Boga Atta, mothers no longer have to choose between taste, hygiene, and health — they can have it all. Because when it comes to feeding the family, every meal should be a celebration of care.”
