Think about the last time you walked into a store to pick up a coffee. Did you reach for the familiar red jar out of pure habit, or did something about the way it looked catch your attention? For most of us, packaging plays a much bigger role in our purchase decisions than we consciously realise. It is the first thing we see, and often the only thing that stands between a brand and a lost sale. This study takes a closer look at how Nescafé's packaging influences the buying behaviour of everyday consumers in Navi Mumbai. As one of India's most recognised coffee brands, Nescafé has built a strong presence over the decades. But in a market that is getting more competitive by the day, even the most trusted brands need to understand what truly connects with their consumers — and packaging is very much a part of that connection. To explore this, primary data was collected from 117 respondents across various areas of Navi Mumbai including Panvel, Airoli, Nerul, Seawoods, Kharghar, Belapur, Kamothe, and other localities through a structured questionnaire. Convenience sampling was used as the sampling method to select respondents for this study, making it accessible and practical within the scope of an academic research project. The study followed a descriptive research design and was conducted during 2025-2026.
