Why Varanasi Is a Strong Market for Masala Soda
Varanasi is one of India's highest-footfall tourist destinations, with a street food culture that attracts domestic and international visitors year-round. The Ghats, Vishwanath corridor and surrounding lanes are dense with kirana shops, juice and soda counters, and a consumer base that ranges from local Benarasi to pan-India tourist. A chatpata masala soda with a recognisable brand label has strong appeal in this environment.
NAMAK Theory's masala soda range — Desi Jeera (chatpata jeera soda), Imli Tadka (imli soda) and the upcoming Jamun Tadka — is built for exactly this type of market. A ₹10, 160ml bottle with a recognisable brand label fits naturally into the kirana, canteen and street counter economy of a city like Varanasi.
