Duke's Mangola

Mangola, in a glass bottle

Duke's Mangola is a mango flavoured drink marketed by PepsiCo in India.[1] Originally owned by the Pundole family and part of Duke and Sons, Mangola was launched in the 1950s to counter Coca-Cola. Duke's was sold to Pepsico in 1994. Though Pepsico phased out most drinks under the Duke's brand in 2004, it retained lemonade and Mangola.[2]

Marketed in western India, Duke's Mangola was the market leader in the segment in that region.[3] Pepsico has been slowly merging Mangola with its other mango based drink, Slice. As of 2010, only one franchise of Mangola had been retained in Mumbai, since it was loyal to the brand.[4]
