“The acquisition of Parampara Food Products’ strong portfolio of brands strengthens our ability to help bring home-cooked meals to the family table and positions General Mills India for continued growth,” Vijay Sood, vice president and executive director of General Mills’ Indian division, said. “We want to expand on Parampara’s potential to bring convenient meal solutions for our consumers across India and around the world.”
