Competition & Problem

INTRODUCTION
Top Ramen is one of the noodles brand in India launched by Indo Nissin Foods Ltd.in 1991.
It was introduced as Japanese soup-type noodles which were watery and were called Smoodles derived from SMoother noodles It is available in different flavors like chicken, masala, curry, tomato, and egg. Since its launch the brand has been constantly changing its sales pitch and product composition with little success. Top Ramen has been trying all possible marketing tools for the past 19 years to dethrone Maggi Noodles which had become a benchmark in the category.

THE MARKETING TWIST


Maggis gaffe presented a great opportunity for Top Ramen, but then Indo-Nissin ran into a tangle. Brooke Bond,which had a 26per cent stake in Indo-Nissin and looked after the distribution of Top Ramen, was merged with Hindustan Lever Limited. Indo-Nissin managed to finalize an alternate distribution arrangement with Marico Industries only in July 1998.

LACKING INNOVATION
The major issue faced by Top Ramen was the differentiation. Top Ramen could not offer any serious differentiation to Maggi either in terms of the product or brand. Since there was no serious differentiation, Maggi was able to gain back the lost ground because it was the pioneer brand who built the category. Top Ramen also lost out when Maggi repositioned itself in the health platform.
