By GlobalDataLocated in Bengaluru, Karnataka, Licious said it plans to grow the packaged food segment of the business over the next three years to 20% and hopes to capture a 15% share of the Indian market in the same time frame as it expands its product offering in the segment.
The company’s founders said: “From selling a range of fresh and raw meat products online, we have evolved not only in terms of core offerings in the raw and fresh meat category but also entered the ready-to-cook and ready-to-eat categories with pre-marinated meats and bottled spreads. We envisage a promising omni-channel play for our range of products.”
Licious meat spreads contain 35% chicken chunks per 100 gram and are free from artificial preservatives, flavours and colours. The new spreads are available in 30-gram and 200-gram packets at the equivalent price of US$0.42 and $2.77, respectively.
