Connecting meaningfully with consumers remains the primal task of any brand. Capturing the right space in their lives is something all strive to do and it is possible with relevant product offering to the focussed audience. Sharp insight-based communication has always helped Horlicks to connect with consumers in an engaging manner. This has been the backbone of the success of this 150 year old brand. In its journey, Horlicks has remained relevant to every member of the family and has continuously found exciting ways to inspire its core audience – the children.
Children across all age-groups continue to be excited by chocolates and games that are relevant to them. Both these appeal to their senses. In order to cater to their deep love for chocolate, Horlicks introduced its improved Chocolate variant in the market.

Chocolate Horlicks is one of our most successful flavours and its taste enjoys high equity with children.
