Goli Pop Soda: India’s Traditional Drink Goes Global

The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), under India’s Ministry of Commerce & Industry, has brought back Goli Soda with a fresh new name—Goli Pop Soda. This beloved Indian drink, once a household favorite, is now making a strong comeback worldwide, thanks to its modern makeover and global expansion.

Reaching International Markets

Goli Pop Soda has already made its way to the USA, UK, Europe, and Gulf countries with successful trial shipments. A key partnership with Fair Exports India has ensured a steady supply to Lulu Hypermarket, one of the largest retail chains in the Gulf region. The drink has been stocked across Lulu outlets, where it has received a fantastic response from customers.

In the UK, Goli Pop Soda has become a sensation, appealing to consumers who love the mix of traditional Indian flavors with a modern twist. This marks an important milestone in promoting Indian beverages on the global stage.

Official Launch & Global Promotion

To celebrate its global comeback, APEDA supported a special launch event organized by ABNN on 4th February 2025. This event officially marked the start of Goli Pop Soda’s international journey, highlighting India’s dedication to promoting its authentic food and drink worldwide.

APEDA also showcased Goli Pop Soda at the International Food & Drink Event (IFE) London 2025, held from March 17-19, 2025. This platform allowed Indian businesses to connect with global buyers and explore new opportunities in the food and beverage market.

Bringing Back Nostalgia with a Modern Touch

Goli Soda had nearly disappeared due to competition from multinational beverage companies. However, its revival as Goli Pop Soda is a major step in India’s mission to export homegrown food and drinks. By combining nostalgia with modern packaging, the drink is winning over both Indian and international consumers.

What makes Goli Pop Soda unique is its innovative bottle design, which includes a pop opener that recreates the fizzy burst Indian customers remember from childhood. This exciting rebranding has helped Goli Pop Soda stand out in the global market.

A Proud Moment for Indian Beverages

The success of Goli Pop Soda proves that Indian flavors can compete globally. This revival not only strengthens India’s export industry but also showcases India’s rich food heritage to the world. With its growing international presence, Goli Pop Soda is more than just a drink—it’s a symbol of India’s vibrant beverage industry and its ability to thrive on the global stage.
