Soft drink brand Thums Up becomes a billion-dollar brand in 2021

Desi soft drink brand Thums Up has become a billion-dollar brand in 2021, global soft drinks major The Coca-Cola Company, which owns the brand, said. "Our local Thums Up brand became a USD one billion brand in India, driven by focussed marketing and execution plans," said The Coca-Cola Company Chairman and CEO James Quincey on Thursday evening during a post-earnings call.
