Through better product development and innovation we want to enable consumers to enjoy traditional snacks without the hassles of packaging which is currently pillow pouches. We also foresee a huge business potential in this category which was largely untapped so far. We aim to bring convenience to our customers where they can eat their traditional snacks anywhere, on the go.”

Chitale Bandhu is a brand known for its irresistible range of sweets and snacks. Keeping the tradition of taste, BINGEBAR aims to turn Indian snacks into a single-serve, convenient-to-eat product without compromising on the palate. With the significant investments, the company has set up its manufacturing unit for the processing of these unique bars. The bar is thoughtfully priced for Rs. 10 and would be available in Mumbai and Pune initially. The products are organic with no added preservatives, colours, or flavours and retain the originality of traditional Indian snacks.

Chitale has turned the popular Bhel and Chivda into snacking bars as they are ever-present staples of an Indian palate. Some memories are built around these food items and every region has its special way of making them. Generations of Indians consume these popular food items. With snacks like these one cannot stop at one bite but always keep craving for #EkAur. These snacks hitting the right spot on our taste buds makes us want to keep eating them, or as they say in pop culture; binge eating.

The brand has launched BINGEBAR in a most traditional yet gripping manner. Bhel vendors distributed the product in the most traditional manner with an urban twist. The vendors gathered an audience in the prime locations of Mumbai like Carter road and Dadar Chowpaty. The product is now available in Mumbai and Pune with plans to expand in domestic and global markets as well.
