Anikspray


Anikspray or Anik Spray was one of the most popular skimmed milk powder brand in India originally developed by Lipton India and later sold to other players.
The brand is still active; however, it has lost major market share, due to the fierce competition in the post-1991 liberalization era.
The milk powder was made from fresh milk to guarantee instant lump-free mixing when in contact with water. Therefore it became popular in the Indian kitchen, given the convenience and distinct taste - especially, when used to prepare Chai as an easy replacement to fresh milk.
