History
Bisleri was originally an Italian Company created by Signor Felice Bisleri who first brought the idea of selling bottled water in India. Bisleri then was introduced in Mumbai in glass bottles in two varieties – bubbly & still in 1965. Parle bought over Bisleri (India) Ltd. in 1969 & started bottling Mineral water in glass bottles under the brand name ‘Bisleri’. Later Parle switched over to PVC non-returnable bottles & finally advanced to PET containers. Since 1995 Mr. Ramesh J. Chauhan has started expanding Bisleri operations. In 2003 Bisleri announced it's venture to Europe.

The brand name Bisleri is so popular in India that it's used as generic name for bottled mineral water. [In India, Bisleri is to mineral water what Xerox is to photocopying.]
