Vandevi Hing - (Asafoetida Powder) - Kinjin Food / V.N Thakkar

Ravalgaon Loco Chocolate - (Sugar Candy / Confectionery) Walchand Hirachand Group

Stationery Items

Joker Gum - (Craft glue paste) Thakker Corporation

Lot of nostalgia attached to these famous brands; with some strong marketing back-up they have potential to make it big in the thriving OTC and FMCG segments

Big players with bigger advertising budgets can turn around these famous regional products to money spinning national brands and create line extensions. Brand managers please note these could be up for grabs and a great investment.

Surprisingly most of these products and brands have their origin in Maharashtra - Jai Kajal, Jiwadaya Netraprabha,
