Energy drink `Cloud 9` launched in Orissa

New energy drink `Cloud 9` was launched in Orissa with a function at Bhubaneswar today. Oriya film actor Akash unwrapped a pack of the product, which is manufactured by Goldwin Health Care Private Limited. Cloud 9 was claimed as the India’s first natural energy drink, containing natural ingredients such as guarana, ginseng, taurine, pomegranate, wild berry and red grape. ‘‘Cloud 9 is ideal for sportspersons and gym goers as it recharges falling energy level quickly,’’ said the product’s all-India sales manager Lal Saheb Pal. With a can costing Rs 75, Indian buyers may feel a little reluctant to go for it. But east zone sales manager Manish Agarwal defended the price, saying: ‘‘When it comes to your health, no price is too much to pay.’’ Cloud 9, which comes in three flavours (pomegranate, wild berry and red grapes, is the energy drink partner of IPL franchise Chennai Super Kings and having India speedster R P Singh as its brand ambassador.
