Ayushmann Khurrana unveils CG foods new variants of Wai Wai Noodle

Delhi: Chaudhary Group (CG), a multinational conglomerate, has announced the launch of two noodle variants, SMN (Seasoned Masala Noodles) and Dynamite (Korean Super Spicy Range).

Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana, endorsed the "Masale Pe Masala" Seasoned Masala Noodles, a take on the classic Ready-To-Eat (RTE) Brown Noodles.

The “Dynamite” range, known as the “Spice Blitz Noodles”, aims to be a tribute to Korean cuisine with a desi twist, a blend of Sichuan Pepper and Korean Chilli in vegetarian variants, and Xtra Spicy Chicken and The Himalayan Hot Chicken in non-vegetarian options.

Initially launched to cater to the palate of consumers in North-east India, the inclusion of the Ghost Pepper or Bhut Jolokia — the hottest chilli in the world — in the Dynamite range is CG Foods’ innovative response to the growing demand for spicy flavours and the ever-increasing popularity of Korean cuisine.

Varun Chaudhary, Managing Director, CG Foods, said, “We're excited to unveil our latest noodle innovations: Seasoned Masala Noodles (SMN) & Dynamite Range. We’re a firm believer in offering unique culinary delights to our customers at regular intervals. Endorsed by Ayushmann Khurrana, these new flavours seek to tap into the vibrant palates of millennials and Gen Z. Our latest offerings will further establish Wai Wai as an innovative, consumer-centric brand. They are perfectly aligned with the tastes and lifestyles of our consumers of varying age groups."

Khurrana shared his excitement about the launch and said, “I am delighted to partner with Wai Wai, a brand distinguished by its dynamic and eclectic product portfolio. Wai Wai's exceptional range of noodles, designed to cater to a wide array of tastes, preferences, and regional flavours have struck a big chord with the consumers. It's a brand that consistently lives up to its reputation by offering such a vibrant and diverse selection."

Manvendra Amber Shukla, Global CEO CG Foods, weighed in on the brand’s legacy, saying, “Wai Wai is not just a brand; it’s a journey down memory lane for our loyal customers. At the heart of our growth lies innovation, seamlessly blending tradition with the pulse of contemporary palate. Our latest creation, the flavorful SMN pack, endorsed by the charismatic Ayushmann Khurrana, marks a new chapter in our quest to delight the evolving palate of our consumers. Witnessing the meteoric rise of the Korean noodles segment in India from a mere Rs 2 crore in 2021 to an impressive Rs 65 crore in 2023, we're inspired to bring our own twist to the table with 'Dynamite.' This venture not only introduces a fiery Korean flavour but also expands our horizons with a diverse range of both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. We're excited to spice up the noodle market and can't wait to see our cherished customers, old and new, relish these awesome flavours.”
