History
editCornitos was founded by Vikram Agarwal[4][5] under the umbrella of Greendot Health Foods Pvt. Ltd. Agarwal was inspired to start the brand after trying tortilla chips for the first time while visiting the United States.[6] The brand was created with the vision of introducing Mexican-inspired nacho crisps to the Indian market, a niche that was largely unexplored at the time.[6]
At its inception, the brand marketed towards a younger, health conscious demographic.[6]
The brand redesigned their packaging in 2011.[6] By 2021, the brand was selling in 300 cities across India.[7]
