Speaking on the development, Cornitos managing director Vikram Agarwal said, “Our vision is to expand our reach and penetrate deeper across all channels pan- India. Our search was for a partner who understands Bharat, provides strategic inputs leading to high-impact marketing, and creates strong communication ideas. Over a few meetings and extensive interactions with Team Crayons, we strongly felt they understood our objectives and aligned with our Vision. We are very excited and look forward to strengthening our brand with Crayons as our integrated communications partner.”
Cornitos is a Made in India brand, which started operations in 2009. Starting with Nachos, Cornitos has expanded its product portfolio to include Crisps, Veggie Nachos, Taco Shells, Dips, Mexican Delights, Nuts & Seeds, Combo Packs, Festive Packs, and Tortilla Wraps.

With growing conversations around healthy snacking, Cornitos, with its expanded portfolio, is poised to capitalise on the opportunity.

We are proud to partner with the brand and delighted to be part of this exciting journey ahead.”
