With this, the company will strengthen its presence in that category as well, where earlier its share was very less. With this, the growth of the company in the market will accelerate in the future.
Entry will be available in many new categories
CEO Sudhir Sitapati further said that Godrej will now be helped to improve its presence in the categories of deodorants and sexual wellness. Raymond has already been a big player in these categories. Along with this, he said that in the coming times, more work will be done to increase this category and its demand and growth will be taken to double digit. For this, the company will continue to work continuously to increase the popularity among the customers.
