The new whey protein product first hit the shelves on 1 February, Parag revealed. It is available in double chocolate flavour in two pack sizes: five pound containers and two pound containers. 

The Avataar whey protein is made in India, the company noted. “At present” it is only available for sale domestically, the filing said.

Parag has been growing its gross margins through a focus on value-added products that claim higher price points. The strategy – coupled with lower finance costs – enabled the group to book an increase in first-half profits this year, a period that ran to 30 September.
