Commenting on the launch, Deepak Iyer, President – India, Mondelez International, said “We are expanding our portfolio into related categories by driving the taste of chocolate as a snack – beyond the bar. Today with our strong Cadbury legacy and an established play in biscuits and cookies we are well placed to expand into the bakery and cakes segment with layered cakes. With our individually wrapped chocolatey cakes we are not only providing a new eat experience but driving consumer convenience both for in-home and on the go consumption. This is an important milestone in the journey of our company in India.”

“I am so proud of our teams who worked during these difficult times over the last few months to get a new product, in a new category to the market – this showcases our commitment to our consumers,” he added

Sudhanshu Nagpal, Associate Director – Marketing (Biscuits), Mondelez India, added, “Our Biscuits business in the country has been one of the key growth drivers for us, globally and in India. Our endeavor has always been to provide unique eat experiences and a broad range of product offerings to our consumers – some of our unique innovations like Bournvita Biscuits – Banana & Oats, Oreo Cadbury Dipped, Cadbury Chocobakes Choc-filled Cookies, etc. are a testament to this commitment. We are confident that our latest launch – Cadbury Chocobakes Choc Layered Cakes will help us further expand the category and open interesting avenues in the snacking space”
