Question

The leading brand of artificial sweetener in India, 'Sugar Free' is owned by

• A. Cipla
• B. Cadila
• C. Glaxo
• D. Monsanto

Hint:

Think about which pharma linked group in India runs a separate consumer wellness company that sells tabletop sweeteners.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

This question checks whether you know which company sits behind a familiar consumer brand, Sugar Free, the artificial sweetener found in almost every Indian kitchen and coffee shop.

1. Cipla: Cipla is one of India's largest pharmaceutical companies, known for medicines and inhalers. It has no business line in tabletop sweeteners.
2. Cadila: Correct. The Sugar Free brand is owned and sold by Zydus Wellness, the consumer wellness company that belongs to the Cadila (Zydus) group.
3. Glaxo: Glaxo, part of GlaxoSmithKline, is linked in India with brands like Horlicks and Sensodyne, not with sweeteners.
4. Monsanto: Monsanto is an agricultural and seed technology company. It has never sold a sweetener product in India.

Since only Cadila's Zydus Wellness division actually makes and sells Sugar Free, option (B) is the correct answer.

Let's summarize:

• Sugar Free is a Zydus Wellness product, and Zydus Wellness belongs to the Cadila group.
• Cipla, Glaxo and Monsanto work in unrelated businesses such as pharma and agri biotech.

So the brand ownership of Sugar Free points clearly to Cadila.
