The real name associated with the inception of the Dalda brand is Vanaspati.
Dalda is a well-known brand of vegetable oil and related products, particularly in India and South Asia. Understanding its name's origin involves looking back at its early history.
Initially, the product now known as Dalda was introduced by Unilever in the early 1930s under the name "Vanaspati." Later, to better reflect a business association, specifically with Dada & Co (a vegetable oil exporter), a slight modification was made. Hindustan Lever incorporated the letter "L" into the name of Dada & Co., indirectly resulting in the name "Dalda." Therefore, while "Vanaspati" was the original name of the product, the brand name intended to become a household name became "Dalda".
