Adding on a scoop of fun, the brand’s message of health is also supported by three mascots- Vita, Calci, and Proto who add a relatable and educational connection with kids by teaching them the importance of nutrition, while encouraging moms to let kids #GrowUpEasy.
Sharing her thoughts on the innovation, Ms. Nikita Chavan, Category Lead for Nutrinos shared, “The product will be available in a novel kids’ friendly format at an attractive price of Rs 50 – pack of two cups of 50 gms each. It can be consumed as a part of breakfast, or a lunch accompaniment, a 4 PM snack, or even with dinner. We are also launching the brand’s maiden campaign, ‘Grow Up Easy’ which will be led by our three fun animated characters Proto, Vita and Calci, and digital mommy stars. The brand has been designed to bring forward the benefits of Nutrinos in a fun and engaging, kid-friendly manner.”
Raveena Tandon, Celebrity Hands-on Mom, shared, “As a mom, I’ve realized that kids are indeed fussy eaters and take to food that is more visually appealing, fun and tasty. However, nutrition is key and this is something that worries most moms today, including me. I believe that Kids today need to #GrowUpEasy, healthy and happy and as moms, we need to support their growth and development in a way that appeals to them. I am happy to be associated with Nutrinos from the house of MilkLane, a tasty dairy brand enriched with essential nutrients that is formulated keeping in mind the taste and preferences of kids’.
Speaking about this development, Gaurav Haran, CEO of MilkLane stated: “The launch of Nutrinos signifies MilkLane’s quest to reimagine the dairy offerings in India and provide truly innovative and world-class products to our consumers.

Nutrinos is made from MilkLane’s already established best-in-class high-quality milk that is safe from antibiotics and toxins. Our state-of-the-art production and packaging lines follow international safety and hygiene standards. The product is manufactured completely untouched by human hands. It’s currently available in strawberry flavour and will soon to be introduced in banana and mango flavours.”
Thomas Kunz, former CEO of Danone Dairy, a global dairy brand as well as a board member and strategic adviser for MilkLane said, “This is a significant step for MilkLane to establish its presence in kids-consumer space. With Nutrinos, it introduces a product range to India that has been loved by kids across many countries and is well proven to provide healthy nutrition. This category is fast growing globally. Evolving tastes of urban Indian consumers, coupled with increasing spending power, augur well for this category to grow in India.
