Bisleri mineral water

Bisleri is the most iconic brand of bottled mineral water in India, so synonymous with the category that the name is often used as a generic term for bottled water. The brand's journey began in 1965 when Signor Felice Bisleri first introduced it in Mumbai. Originally an Italian brand founded in the 19th century, it was acquired by the Chauhan family of Parle Exports in 1969, who transformed it into a household name across South Asia.

Today, Bisleri International operates a vast network of over 150 operational plants and a distribution chain comprising thousands of trucks and distributors. The company maintains a dominant market share in the Indian beverage industry through rigorous quality control, including a distinctive 10-stage purification process. While its primary operations are in India, the brand has expanded its footprint internationally, including licensing and manufacturing agreements in the Middle East to cater to global demand.

Owned and led by Chairman Ramesh Chauhan, Bisleri remains a largely independent Indian multinational entity. Despite frequent acquisition interest from global conglomerates, the brand continues to operate under Bisleri International Private Limited, maintaining its status as a homegrown leader in the packaged drinking water and carbonated beverage sectors.
