Radhika Gupta, Edelweiss’s mutual fund managing director, recently slammed the cold sandwiches served on flights. In a post on X, Gupta asked airlines and packaged food industries to be “creative” with options like paratha, idlis, dhoklas, and other food items with “shelf life”.
“I am calling for an end to airlines and makers of boxed food who serve two pieces of bread stuffed with cheese and coleslaw (veg sandwich) in the name of breakfast. This is India not the West. We have amazing breakfast food from across the country – parantha, idlis, dhoklas, and countless others – that are healthy, tasty, affordable and have shelf life. Our moms make amazing takeaway parantha rolls with leftover sabzis that taste fab,” Gupta wrote.
“Please be creative. Spare us the sandwich. We can do better,” she said.

Gupta’s post prompted numerous reactions as many social media users agreed with Gupta. A user wrote, “No food in the Airline is healthy mam. Best to eat food from home and come.” Another user commented, “Thank you for saying this. With the variety of breakfast options we have, airlines should indeed do better.”
“Most plane food tastes like warm plastic. There is a big market to be captured by someone who can creatively address this issue,” a third user wrote.
