Hyderabad: Parle-G, the 80-year-old biscuit brand with striped yellow packaging featuring the iconic Parle girl, has released a video ahead of Republic Day giving a small glimpse into their long journey with the nation, and a bond that grew stronger over the years.

The ad harps on nostalgia and highlights how Parle, founded in 1929, has been able to reinvent itself over the years while keeping its legacy intact. It has saved many hungry souls, has been a loyal companion to chai for decades, a nutritional substitute, or just something to munch after a long day.
