Abstract: The packaged drinking water industry in India is a fiercely competitive space, with Bisleri and Kinley standing out as two of the biggest names in the market. Both brands have worked tirelessly to carve out their own identity, leveraging distinct marketing strategies to attract and retain consumers. Bisleri has built its reputation around purity, premium offerings, and sustainability initiatives, while Kinley, backed by Coca-Cola, emphasizes affordability, trust, and an extensive distribution network. This study takes a deep dive into their marketing strategies, exploring how they differentiate themselves through product offerings, pricing strategies and distribution reach. It also examines their segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP) approaches, brand equity, and competitive advantages. By comparing the two, this research aims to uncover how each brand sustains consumer trust and loyalty in a crowded marketplace
