As category leaders, it’s incumbent on us to continue to push the envelope: Saumya Rathor of Lay’s

Saumya Rathor says, "The collection is done by HUEMN, and we have a few pieces within that collection and it will have the Pepsi logo. It's essentially streetwear. Pepsi, as a brand, is all about really expressing. So, our collaboration is also in the lines that it should be easily accessible for the youth and easily wearable for the youth. And that's the reason why we've selected this particular label, because they live by those ethos."

Saumya Rathor of PepsiCo India, stated, “It’s really incumbent on us to continue to push the envelope and keep giving Indian consumers a lot of different flavours and get them to experiment with their palates and that is why we said we should have the ‘masala’ flavour but also add to it an exciting flavour which has never been done before.”
