Presence wasn’t the problem, preference was. Despite Borosil’s reliability, Larah needed to show it belonged in modern homes every day.

Borosil acquired Larah, a long-standing opalware brand, to enter Indian kitchens. However, despite existing presence, Larah lacked preference.

Retailers weren't convinced by its designs or durability, making it a tough sell. The real challenge wasn't just fixing symptoms like breakage; it was about alleviating trade concerns and earning both, coveted shelf space in stores, and everyday table space in homes.

The Problem

Despite its market presence, Larah wasn’t a preferred choice.

The Breakdown

Uncovering the core issues through deep insights.
Spending time inside manufacturing plants,  with wholesalers, and testing designs with real customers revealed critical patterns:

People assumed opalware was too delicate for daily use.
They needed convincing it was built to last.

Intricate patterns slowed production. Yet customers consistently 
preferred cleaner, more eye-catching, and bolder designs.

Larah needed to clearly justify its price point over ubiquitous melamine,
as consumers saw no clear reason to upgrade without compelling value.
