Parag Milk Foods Ltd., one of India’s largest technology driven dairy FMCG company and the parent company of the renowned Gowardhan brand, has announced the launch of its festive campaign featuring a new Television Commercial (TVC) and Digital Video Commercial (DVC) for its Gowardhan Khushiyan Mithai range. With 100% pure Gowardhan Ghee, this premium range of sweets will be promoted through the film, which aired across all channels, marking the Dussehra celebration. This campaign emphasises the brand’s commitment to purity and quality, following a successful pilot earlier this year in Pune, Nashik, and Ahmednagar, which is now expanding to multiple regions across India.
The festive season typically brings a surge in sweet consumption, with pre-festive sales showing a notable 55% increase. The traditional packaged Indian sweets market was valued at INR 6,000-7,000 crore in 2023. However, as demand peaks, consumers increasingly worry about the quality and purity of the sweets they purchase due to the heightened risk of adulteration.
To address these concerns, Gowardhan Khushiyan Mithai ensures 100% pure and unadulterated sweets by using Gowardhan Ghee, with all ingredients sourced and packaged in-house to leave zero chance of adulteration. This positions Gowardhan Khushiyan as a trustworthy choice for families, offering pure and high-quality sweets for every celebration.
The core message of the TVC, “Na bhakti me na bhog me na mithai me, milavat kahi bhi nahi honi chahiye”, highlights the importance of purity in every aspect of life—whether in devotion, offerings, or food. The commercial beautifully showcases a traditional pooja thali being set up, followed by the delicious Gowardhan Khushiyan sweets—Kaju Katli, Kesar Pedha, Malai Pedha, and Kaju Pista Roll—being generously made with pure Gowardhan Ghee, symbolising the authenticity and purity of these festive delicacies. The film concludes with the line, “This season bring home the purity of Gowardhan Khushiyan Mithai,” urging consumers to choose sweets made with shatpratishat shuddh (100% pure) ingredients.
There is an increasing demand for transparency and purity in food, especially during the festive season when families celebrate with sweets,” said Akshali Shah, Executive Director at Parag Milk Foods Ltd. “Reports of adulterated mithai have raised concerns, and our latest campaign aims to address this by emphasizing our commitment to quality. We are proud to introduce Khushiyan Mithai, crafted with 100% pure Gowardhan Ghee, ensuring sweets that are not only delicious but also safe for consumption. As the festivities draw near, we offer a premium selection that upholds the highest standards of purity, allowing families to celebrate with purity. For us, purity is not a luxury but a standard that should be upheld, especially in our cherished traditions.”
“We understand the deep emotional connection Indians have with sweets, especially during festivals,” added Samarth Shrivastava, Founder BelieveTrinity, the agency behind the new campaign. “Many times, we are unsure whether the Mithai that we buy has been made with 100% pure ingredients, our campaign assures consumers that with Gowardhan Khushiyan Mithai, they’re bringing home not just sweets, but a promise of purity and tradition.
