Pakka Ltd & Brawny Bear launch energy bars with compostable flexible packaging
Mumbai: Pakka Ltd, a compostable packaging solutions manufacturer, has announced its second collaboration with Brawny Bear, a nutrition company known for its date-based healthy food products. Through this partnership, the brand has launched date energy bars, an energy bar with compostable flexible packaging.
The new date energy bars, produced by Brawny Bear, are packaged using Pakka Ltd’s innovative compostable flexible packaging. This innovative product not only offers a healthy snack option but also addresses the growing concern of packaging waste in India.
Pakka Ltd’s venture into compostable flexible packaging is a natural progression for the company, which has spent four decades producing compostable pulp, paper packaging solutions and moulded tableware. This move into adaptable packaging form reflects the company’s response to modern consumer needs for convenience, versatility, and cost-effectiveness.
Containing no added sugars, the energy bars are made with premium dates, aligning with Brawny Bear’s commitment to creating nutritious, naturally sweetened products. This launch expands Brawny Bear’s existing range of date-based food products, which includes chocolates, chikki, nut butter, milkshake/energy powders, and natural sweeteners.
The latest association comes after Pakka Ltd and Brawny Bear collaborated for the first time in October 2023 to launch the world’s first compostable flexible packaging for food products, setting a new standard in the industry for eco-friendly packaging solutions.
Pakka Ltd India business head Jagdeep Hira commented, “Our partnership with Brawny Bear for these date energy bars exemplifies our ongoing commitment to developing sustainable packaging solutions. By combining our compostable flexible packaging with Brawny Bear’s healthy snacks, we’re not only offering consumers a nutritious option but also taking a significant step towards reducing packaging waste. This product line demonstrates that eco-friendly packaging and convenient, tasty snacks can go hand in hand.”
Further, Brawny Bear founder Shivaam Tibrewal added, “We’re delighted to further our collaboration with Pakka Ltd through the new product. Our date energy bars, now wrapped in compostable packaging, represent the perfect fusion of health and sustainability. This launch aligns perfectly with our mission to provide delicious, date-based products that are good for both our customers and the environment. We believe this sets a new benchmark for responsible snack manufacturing in India.”

Adani Airport Holdings and Blinkit launch India’s first in-terminal quick commerce service at Mumbai’s Terminal 2
Passengers at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport can now order essentials on the Blinkit app and have them delivered within minutes
MUMBAI: Forget the overpriced airport shop. Travellers rushing through departures at Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport can now order essentials on their phones and have them delivered within minutes, right to their gate.
Adani Airport Holdings Limited, India’s largest private airport operator, has partnered with quick commerce platform Blinkit to launch what the two companies claim is India’s first in-terminal quick commerce service. The service is live at Terminal 2, domestic departures, and allows passengers to order through the Blinkit app for delivery anywhere within the terminal, including boarding gates, lounges, the food court and select partner outlets. Deliveries are handled by trained on-ground personnel, ensuring a seamless experience without disrupting travel timelines.
The product range covers travel accessories, electronics, snacks, books, baby care and personal essentials. Permissible liquids including packaged water, cold beverages and juices are sourced from approved in-terminal inventory, in line with airport security protocols.
An AAHL spokesperson said the initiative was part of a broader push to reimagine digital services at airports. “Bringing app-based convenience into the terminal allows passengers to make better use of their time and raises the overall service standard,” the spokesperson said, describing it as a step towards building “more responsive and passenger-centric airports.”
For Blinkit, the tie-up extends quick commerce into a high-frequency, high-intent environment. For AAHL, it reflects a strategic push to grow non-aeronautical revenue through digitally enabled retail, a increasingly important revenue stream for airport operators worldwide.
