Chandigarh, July 3, 2018: B Natural Juices & Beverages from ITC Foods, after moving away from ‘Concentrate Juices’ and shifting its entire portfolio to ‘Not From Concentrate’ variants, has now vowed to break records on fitness goals. The brand brought people together from the state of Punjab and the union territory of Chandigarh at Niper Auditorium, Sector 67 in Mohali for a Guinness World Records title for ‘the Most people performing jump squats’ in a minute with 572 girls breaking the existing record of 497 achieved by Dubai Fitness Challenge (UAE) in Dubai, last year. The achievement is also testimony to B Natural’s core philosophy of breaking barriers across all spheres of life.
The Guinness World Records challenge was led by Harmanpreet Kaur, DSP of Punjab Police & Vice-Captain of India Women's National Cricket Team, in the presence of Sanjay Singal, Chief Operating Officer - Dairy and Beverages, ITC Ltd.
The record breaking challenge is part of a larger campaign B Natural Harman XI - Sacche Hunar Di Khoj, launched by B Natural and led by Harmanpreet Kaur, who is considered a harbinger of change.
