Shares of Parle Industries, known for its popular Melody toffees, experienced a significant boost following a friendly exchange between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. During their recent meeting, Modi presented Meloni with a packet of Melody toffees, which sparked a viral moment on social media. As a result, Parle's shares rose by 5% during intraday trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), reaching ₹5.25 per share, and marking an increase of nearly 7% over the past week. This surge reflects the positive market sentiment surrounding the company, which was originally incorporated in 1983 and has since expanded its operations beyond confectionery into sectors such as infrastructure and real estate. The hashtag “Melodi” has gained traction online, symbolizing the friendly rapport between Modi and Meloni during their interactions at various global events. The incident highlights the impact of personal diplomacy on market dynamics, as even light-hearted moments can influence investor sentiment and stock performance.
