History

Parachute is the flagship brand of Marico. Before the 1992 economic liberalisation in India, the government classified vegetable oils as an essential commodity.[1]

In the late 1990s, Marico made its first serious entry into foreign markets by setting up a manufacturing plant in Bangladesh. Parachute's market share rose to 70% within ten years and it had become one of the most recognized and trusted brands in that country.[1]

Products

Marico makes two kinds of coconut oil, Parachute edible grade cum hair oil, and Parachute Advansed Hair oil.

Parachute edible oil contains 100% coconut oil, whereas Advansed hair oil contains coconut oil along with fragrance and Vitamin E.
