On May 9th the ‘Incredible Tiffin’ initiative was launched by the Cuisine Society of India at an appropriately food-laden event at the ITC Maurya Hotel in New Delhi. This initiative aims to classify, brand and digitally showcase the breadth of Indian cuisine – undoubtably one of the most famous exports India has given the world!

Using top-notch design values, carefully selected brand associations and focused social media channels, the Incredible Tiffin campaign plans to take Incredible India to the next level of nation branding – by winning the hearts, minds and stomachs of the global traveler. Subodh Kant Sahay, the tourism minister, said that he hopes the campaign will bring a “modest five million tourists” to India next year.
