 “INDIAN CONSUMER”
• The Indian middle class is prospering with around 70
million households earning anywhere between Rs80,000
and Rs18 lakh per annum. These  comprise 34 per cent
of the slightly over 200 million middle class households.
• Indian Consumer is no longer Price Obsessed.
• Indian consumer goods market is expected to reach
$400billion by 2010
• Higher disposable incomes, there is money left over for
daily products even after spending on durables
 “FMCG Tricks”

• Main reasons for the revival in the FMCG space is that the
wallet share of the consumer which was being diverted to
aspirational products is now coming back to FMCG products.
• Indian consumer on spending spree.
• There is a difference between FMCG and Consumer
Durables.
 Why Name Change ?
• Provides Optimum balance between maintaining the
heritage of the company and the future benefits with the
corporate name of Unilever. (February 20, 2007).

• Will be source of considerable strength and synergies to

harness Unilever’s global scale and size for the benefit
of the Indian business both in domestic and export
markets.
• It would also assist in attracting and retaining talent both
locally and internationally
 “Edge Over Competitors”
• Unilever, in its worldwide operations, strives to be a
multilocal multinational. Working since 1912.
•Reflected national priorities over the years and remained
committed towards India.
•Large market capitalization and Product Variety.
•Good Company policies such as:-
Developing and using relevant technology
Generating productive employment
Stimulating industrialization and dispersing its benefits
Adding value to agriculture
Sustaining export performance
 “Project Shakti”
• To distribute their products in remote rural areas through
its Project Shakti. (2000).
• Thirty per cent of FMCG business comes from villages
with a population less than 2,000
• To reach areas of low access and low market potential.
Currently covers all districts of Andhra Pradesh and
Karnataka, reaching almost 5,000 villages through 800
self-help groups (SHGs).
• The Shakti model trains women from SHGs to distribute
HLL products of daily consumption such as Detergents,
Toilet soaps and Shampoos
 “Mergers and Acquisitions”
• Amalgamation of new businesses -- Brooke Bond Lipton
India in 1996-97; Pond's India in 1998; and a smaller
subsidiary, Industrial Perfumes, in 1999
• The erstwhile Tata Oil Mills Company (TOMCO) merged
with HUL, effective from April 1, 1993

Limited,

Kimberly Clark Corporation in 1994

 Future Technology
Third Party Logistics (3PL): 3PL describes
businesses that provide one or many of a
variety of logistics-related services. Types of
services would include public warehousing,
contract warehousing, transportation
management, distribution management,
freight consolidation.
 Conclusion
With it’s long and luminous history HUL is India’s true pride. It
is a company which the customers in rural as well as urban India
relate to. This explains the deep penetration of HUL in Indian
market.
Past few years trends may be disturbing but there has been multi
facets to the decrease in profits. It would be innocent thought to
rule out a behemoth of the ranks of HUL.
The future for HUL is demanding newer and high level
innovations so as to cope up with increasing competition.
However HUL is well equipped with all what is needed of this
Indian Giant.
