Quaker brands such as Quaker Oats, Life and Cap’n Crunch, will compete against Corn Flakes, Frosties and Froot Loops from multinational Kellogg Co and local cereal brands for a slice of the Indian market, reported the Financial Times.


One problem the company may face is a preference in India for a cooked breakfast such as toast and an omelette. But in more urban areas, where people may not have much time to spend on breakfast, the cereal market is growing.
