Cargill showcased its innovative and customer-centric approach at AAHAR 2025, highlighting its role as a trusted partner in the Indian food industry. Under the theme "The Whole World of Possibilities," the exhibit focused on indulgence categories such as snacks, bakery, confectionery, dairy, and ice cream, catering to the growing demand for health-conscious yet indulgent food choices.
The Cargill booth was officially inaugurated by Simon George, Country President and Managing Director, Cargill Food South Asia, along with Tarak Bhattacharya, Executive Director & CEO of Mad Over Donuts. Visitors were treated to live demonstrations by Cargill’s Corporate Chef Anip Kumar and his team, who crafted Millet Cookies, Berry Fudge, and Sourdough Chips—a glimpse into over 50 chef-curated baked applications on display.
"We are excited to deliver comprehensive solutions that empower our customers to grow their business through innovative products and cost-efficient solutions while ensuring consumers enjoy both nutrition and taste," said Simon George, reinforcing Cargill’s commitment to shaping the future of food in India.
For the first time in India, Cargill introduced functional blends designed to enhance taste, texture, and efficiency across multiple food categories. These include:
Dent Corn-Based Modified Starch – A first-of-its-kind ingredient that enhances color and texture in sauces, boosting tomato aroma and smoothness.
Pectin Replacer for Gummies & Jellies – A cost-effective alternative to expensive pectin, making it an ideal choice for value-conscious confectionery manufacturers.
Bake-Stable Fillings – These fillings ensure optimum flowability and superior mouthfeel post-baking, revolutionizing baked goods.
Crispier Snacks, Less Oil Absorption – Cargill’s starch-based functional systems help reduce oil absorption while adding crispiness in fried snacks.
Ice Cream Innovations – Advanced functional systems minimize ice crystal growth, enhance melting properties, and improve texture in frozen desserts.
Cargill’s Cost-Saving Solutions Zone was a major highlight, offering smart alternatives to help businesses reduce production costs while maintaining quality. One standout innovation was NatureFresh Professional Elite Choice, a premium aerated cookie fat that improves yield by enhancing flour absorption by up to 10%.
Cargill unveiled cutting-edge products catering to both B2B and B2C segments, including:
Gemini Plus Trans Fat-Free Vanaspati – Launched in Kerala, this game-changing vanaspati allows chefs to create flaky parottas, rich laddoos, and aromatic biryanis, without trans fats.
NatureFresh Professional Elite Choice – This high-performance bakery fat ensures better yield and cost efficiency for bakers.
NatureFresh Professional Lite – A butter-flavored vegetable fat designed for premium croissants, Danish pastries, and brownies. Completely vegetarian and Argemone oil-free.
Adding another layer of interactive engagement, Cargill invited visitors to a half-day immersive R&D session at the Cargill Innovation Center (CIC) in Gurgaon from March 5th to 7th. Here, industry professionals witnessed how Cargill leverages science, research, and insights to drive food innovation.
With a strong commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability, Cargill continues to empower the Indian food industry with cutting-edge solutions that enhance both consumer experience and business success.
Cargill’s strong presence at AAHAR 2025 underscores its dedication to transforming the food industry through innovative products, cost-efficient solutions, and sustainability-driven initiatives. As businesses look for smarter, healthier, and more cost-effective solutions, Cargill remains a trusted partner, shaping the future of food in India.

Popeyes, the iconic Louisiana-born fried chicken brand, has officially launched its first airport outlet at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Terminal 2. The opening marks a strategic step in Popeyes’ expansion across India following its debut in Mumbai earlier this year in August.
The Mumbai T2 store has been launched in partnership with AMRL, reflecting Popeyes’ focus on premium, high-footfall locations and its intent to bring globally loved flavours to travellers. Visitors at Terminal 2 can now enjoy signature offerings such as the Chicken Sandwich, Signature Fried Chicken, Boneless Chicken, and the Hot & Messy range, specially curated for the Indian palate. Staying true to its Louisiana Cajun roots, all chicken is fresh, hand-battered, hand-breaded, and marinated for 12 hours, ensuring bold and distinctive flavours in every bite.
Speaking on the expansion, Sameer Khetarpal, CEO & MD of Jubilant FoodWorks Limited, said, “Airports have become critical touchpoints for brand discovery and repeat engagement. Launching at Mumbai T2 allows us to reach a high-intent, high-frequency audience and take Popeyes beyond the high street. After a strong response in Mumbai since August, this opening is a deliberate move to scale the brand in premium travel-led locations.”
Highlighting the importance of F&B in the airport experience, a spokesperson from AMRL added, “The launch of Popeyes at CSMIA marks a significant milestone in AMRL’s F&B growth. Airports are evolving into lifestyle destinations, and partnering with a globally iconic brand like Popeyes aligns strongly with our vision of offering world-class choices to travellers. This collaboration reflects our focus on quality, consistency, and global relevance.”
The Popeyes Mumbai T2 outlet is now open for travellers, offering both dine-in and takeaway options for domestic and international passengers, making it a must-visit destination for those seeking a taste of Louisiana at India’s busiest airport.
