HISTORY
Parle Products was established in the Vile Parle suburb
of Mumbai, in 1929. It began manufacturing biscuits in
1939.
In 1947, when India became independent, the company
launched an ad campaign, showcasing its Gluco brand of
biscuits as an Indian alternative to the British biscuits.
Parle-G biscuits were earlier called 'Parle Gluco' Biscuits
until the 1980s. The "G" in the name Parle-G originally
stood for "Glucose", though a later brand slogan also
stated "G means Genius".
In 2013, Parle- G became India's first
domestic FMCG brand to cross the ₹ 5,000 crore mark in
retail sales
