Colgate Palmolive (India)
Limited From a modest start in 1937, when hand-
carts were used to distribute Colgate Dental Cream, Colgate-
Palmolive (India) today has one of the widest distribution
networks in India – a logistical marvel that spans around 3.5
million retail outlets across the country, of which the Company
services 9.40,000 outlets directly. The Company has grown to
a Rs. 1476 crore plus with an outstanding record of enhancing
value for its strong shareholder base.
Colgate's tight focus in Oral Care in India while building its
Personal Care business coupled with a simple, but sound
worldwide financial strategy, has helped deliver consistent
shareholder value. Colgate consistently increases gross
margin while at the same time reducing overhead expenses.
The increase in gross margin and the reduction in overhead
expenses provide the money to invest in advertising to
support the launch of new products, while at the same time
increasing operating profit.
