Jindal Rice Mills Launches Nourifyme – A Fortified Nutrition Brand To Fight Malnutrition In India

Posted by on Jun 9, 2025 in Business News | Comments Off on Jindal Rice Mills Launches Nourifyme – A Fortified Nutrition Brand To Fight Malnutrition In India

New range of Fortified Rice, Basmati, and Wheat Atta launched in Chandigarh aims to improve everyday nutrition and support India’s national health goals

Chandigarh, June 9, 2025 –  In a significant stride toward India’s nutritional transformation, Jindal Rice Mills announced the official launch of Nourifyme, a new consumer brand offering a range of Fortified Rice, Fortified Basmati Rice, and Fortified Wheat Atta. The launch took place at the Taj Chandigarh during a high-profile industry event titled “Unlocking Market Potential: Advancing Fortified Rice in Punjab.”

Gracing the occasion as Chief Guest, Shri Tarunpreet Singh Sond, Hon’ble Minister, Industry & Commerce, Rural Development & Panchayats,  Tourism and Cultural Affairs, Investment Promotion, Hospitality, and Labour, Government of Punjab, delivered the keynote address. In his remarks, the Minister emphasized the government’s commitment to food fortification as a national priority.

“Rice fortification is a crucial component of India’s battle against hidden hunger. As we scale up fortified rice distribution across government schemes, initiatives like this are essential to extend these benefits to retail consumers. I commend Jindal Rice Mills for taking this forward-looking step toward public health,” said Shri Tarunpreet Singh Sond.

Nourifyme is a response to India’s growing need for nutrient-rich, affordable staple foods, aimed at addressing widespread micronutrient deficiencies. The brand draws on decades of milling expertise, now aligned with national nutrition goals.

“By combining our legacy in rice milling with science-backed fortification, Nourifyme brings together quality, taste, and health in one plate,” added Vishal Gupta, Co-Founder at Jindal Rice Mills.

“With Nourifyme, we are not just launching a product line—we are launching a mission to put better nutrition in every Indian kitchen,” said Ankit Jindal, Co-Founder at Jindal Rice Mills.

The Nourifyme range is enriched with a scientifically chosen blend of essential micronutrients aimed at addressing widespread nutritional deficiencies in India. Each product is fortified with Iron to combat anemia and support cognitive development, Folic Acid to aid in cell growth and maternal health, and Vitamin B12 for nerve function and red blood cell formation. In addition, Zinc is included to strengthen immunity and aid healing, while Vitamin A supports vision and overall immune health. Together, these nutrients play a vital role in promoting better health outcomes for individuals and families across age groups.

“Malnutrition affects 37% of children under 6 yrs of age and these children in particularly girls grow into adolescence with protein and micronutrient deficiency, contributing to the problem of anemia in reproductive ages.  Anemia affects 57% of women in reproductive ages and 52% women suffer anemia during pregnancy (NFHS-6). Malnutrition and deficiency of micronutrients in particularly iron, folic acid, and Vitamin B12 – are major concerns among women of reproductive age.  These contribute to rising anemia among women in reproductive age during pregnancy,” Dr. Neena Malhotra, Prof. & Head, Deptt. of Obstetrics & Gynecology, AIIMS, New Delhi.

Despite National programmes on Anemia Prevention, the prevalence of anemia has not shown a decline. There is therefore a strong need to go beyond supplementation with iron and Folic acid tablets. Staple food fortification with micronutrients is a good option with proven benefits improving anemia on a large scale. Fortifying staple foods, wheat flour, rice or edible oils with essential micronutrient will improve nutrition and well – being of women in India.  I strongly advocate the inclusion of fortified foods in everyday diets to reduce risks of anemia and support healthy pregnancies,” added Dr. Neena Malhotra.

The event also showcased Nourifyme’s strong collaboration with global nonprofit TechnoServe, which leads the Millers for Nutrition – Asia program. This program supports rice millers across South Asia in adopting fortification best practices to improve public health outcomes.

Opening the event, Mr. Abhishek Shukla, Country Program Manager, Millers for Nutrition – India, outlined the importance of private sector innovation in solving national nutrition challenges.

“Millers are at the heart of India’s food system. When they step forward to fortify, they don’t just shift business—they shift lives. We are proud to support millers like Jindal Rice Mills in expanding the reach of fortified staples,” said Abhishek Shukla.

The Nourifyme range will be made available through key retail and distribution channels, with plans to expand across northern and eastern India in the coming quarters. A launch video showcasing the vision and product portfolio was screened during the event, followed by a product showcase where guests could experience the look, feel, and packaging of the full Nourifyme lineup.

White Spoon Fortified Basmati Rice, developed by Anand Agro Industries, was also launched today alongside Nourifyme. Fortified with Iron, Zinc, Folic Acid, B3 and B12 Vitamins, White Spoon is crafted to support better nutrition outcomes across communities. With a focus on both consumer markets and welfare distribution, it reinforces the commitment to combating hidden hunger through everyday staples.

The event concluded with a vote of thanks from Mr. Shubham Mishra, Food Fortification Manager, Millers for Nutrition India, who reiterated the importance of joint action.

“India’s fight against malnutrition needs both scale and innovation. It’s partnerships like this—between committed entrepreneurs and enabling institutions—that make change possible,” said Shubham Mishra.

The event was attended by leading millers from Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Jammu & Kashmir, along with members of the food processing industry, nutrition advocates, and development sector professionals.

With Nourifyme, Jindal Rice Mills aims to position itself as a trusted household brand for fortified staples, contributing to the national goal of a malnutrition-free India.

Sportsbaazi Kicks Off New Brand Campaign With Robin Uthappa, Celebrating The Science Of Sports Trading

Posted by on Apr 10, 2025 in Business News | Comments Off on Sportsbaazi Kicks Off New Brand Campaign With Robin Uthappa, Celebrating The Science Of Sports Trading

~ “Ye Dil. Dimag. Data Ka Game Hai” introduces fans to a world of data, discipline, and decision-making~

India’s leading sports trading platform, SportsBaazi, has launched its latest campaign, “Ye Dil. Dimag. Data Ka Game Hai”, spotlighting World Cup winner, life coach, motivational speaker, and now sports trader, Robin Uthappa. The campaign goes beyond a promotional exercise to build awareness and trust in sports trading as a strategic, skill-based format, tapping into the emotional, intellectual, and analytical fabric of modern-day sports fans.

Launched in sync with the IPL 2025 season, the campaign positions sports trading as a new-age engagement model where fans shift from passive viewership to active participation by trading on live match moments. With Robin Uthappa at the forefront, the campaign challenges stereotypes around sports trading by showcasing the sport as a field of discipline, data, and decision-making—not just chance.

Known for his fearless gameplay and strategic batting approach, Robin embodies the very ethos of a sports trader- sharp, analytical, and composed under pressure. In a series of campaign films, Robin educates traders about the thought process one needs to employ during trading in live match moments, drawing from deep game knowledge and real-time insights.

Robin Uthappa, said, “What attracted me to this campaign was the philosophy behind it. I’ve always believed that great performance on the field or in life comes down to clarity, preparation, and discipline. Sports trading is a game of insight, pattern recognition, and strategic timing. I see it as a natural evolution for the serious sports fan. If my journey can inspire even a few to explore it with the right mindset, I’ll consider it a win.”

Puneet Dua, Chief Marketing Officer, SportsBaazi, said “This campaign is not just about awareness—it’s about sparking a movement. At SportsBaazi, our vision is to legitimize sports trading as India’s next big skill-based format. We’re building a space for serious sports fans—those who bring intellect, preparation, and strategy to their gameplay. Robin Uthappa’s evolution from cricketer to life coach to sports trader perfectly aligns with the mindset we want to cultivate — composed, thoughtful, and data driven. With IPL 2025 energizing the nation, we’re excited to amplify this narrative across India’s sports-loving heartland.”

But Uthappa’s role goes far deeper than screen presence. In creative workshops with the SportsBaazi team, he reimagined the platform’s core slogan. “While we began with ‘Dil. Dimag. Data’, Robin added a fourth ‘D’: Discipline. That struck a chord. So much so, it became the name of our flagship podcast — Dimag. Data. Discipline — hosted in collaboration with him,” added Dua.

The campaign films will be live across digital platforms including JioCinema, YouTube, and Instagram—especially targeting Tier-II and Tier-III audiences with rising digital access and deeply passionate affinity towards sport. With IPL 2025 as the cultural backdrop, SportsBaazi is not just marketing a product, it’s championing a cultural shift, turning cricket fans into active sports traders who trade with heart, mind, and method.
