    Fanta fizzles with flavour: Coca-Cola India’s orange star rules the carbonated sof drinks scene

    MUMBAI: Fanta, Coca-Cola India’s iconic orange-flavoured fizz, has taken a big, bubbly lead in the carbonated soft drink (CSD) category, commanding over 50 per cent of the market. The brand’s playful spirit and tangy taste have made it a go-to thirst-quencher for young Indians, seamlessly mixing nostalgia with a digital twist.

    First sipped in 1940, Fanta has evolved into a cultural phenomenon across 180 markets worldwide, but it’s India where the brand has really popped. From Rs 10 for a 200ml pack to 2.25L family-sized bottles, Fanta is everywhere—across two million retail outlets nationwide.

    Coca-Cola India developing markets and southwest Asia vice-president, franchise operations  Vinay Nair said:  “Fanta’s success is a testament to our flavour-first strategy, portfolio agility, and ability to stay culturally relevant. We’ve tapped into the youth’s digital DNA with campaigns like Fanta Mangta, turning a simple phrase into a fun cultural cue.”

    The latest Fanta Mangta campaign, featuring youth icon Kartik Aaryan, has hit all the right notes. With high view-through rates, creator collaborations, and meme-worthy moments, it’s made Fanta a digital darling.

    Whether it’s adding a burst of joy to Holi celebrations or being the perfect sidekick for everyday cravings, Fanta has become more than a drink—it’s a pop of happiness. As India’s young and restless sip on Fanta, Coca-Cola India’s zesty star shows no signs of losing its sparkle.
