Super thrilled to sign this 8 year, $1B food & agri deal win along with acquisition of the Temasek-owned digital arm of the Olam group, a leading $50B food and agri-business. About a year ago, Wipro's consumer sector made significant investments in building platforms for micro verticals where commercial off-the-shelf products are unable to address complex business challenges. As part of this deal, we are acquiring and building upon a rich portfolio of proprietary intellectual property across procurement, finance, trading, supply chain and sales. With our dedicated AI-Native Business Platforms Unit, and now with domain-led intellectual property in food and agri, our consumer sector is poised for remarkable growth.

I came across this post on linked in. Shankar Bhalla has really researched it well and caught the reasons on why Santoor has been so successful and became the no 1 in the bathing soap category. But he credits me more than what I deserve. The mistaken age (mummy) advertising was created in 1989 and credit goes to then marketing head Ravi Menon and Ulka advertising. My only input was that as marketing head (93-99) and later as the CEO of the business (from 2002), I stuck to the proposition and did not change the basics of advertising. The focus on select states (and not all India) was started under my watch in 1995 when I was the marketing head. PS Pai was the President of the business and he supported and encouraged the move. Three other events/ episodes were critical. First, the thought of Santoor as a Sandal + Turmeric soap in 1985 was the brainchild of Vijay Raut - the then product manager. Second, the product has been upgraded continuously thanks to the manufacturing, marketing and R&D, that over time improved hard water performance of the soap, the skin feel, the fragrance, the finish of the soap considerably. Third, the passion and on ground execution of the sales team both for distribution and local sales promotion was unparalleled.

🌏 Wipro Consumer Care and Lighting is expanding its footprint in Southeast Asia through another strategic acquisition. Wipro Consumer Care International has signed a definitive agreement to acquire 100% of the shares in Philippine personal care company S Brands Consumer Care Inc. The acquisition marks: 🤝 Wipro Consumer Care's 16th strategic acquisition globally. 🇵🇭 Its second acquisition in the Philippines, following the purchase of Splash Corporation in 2019. The move underscores Wipro's long-term strategy of strengthening its presence in high-growth international consumer markets through strategic acquisitions rather than relying solely on organic expansion. As consumer demand for personal care products continues to rise across Southeast Asia, expanding local manufacturing, distribution, and brand portfolios can provide companies with a stronger competitive edge in one of the world's fastest-growing consumer markets. The transaction also reflects a broader trend of Indian companies building global consumer businesses by acquiring established regional brands and leveraging their local market expertise. With a growing international presence and an acquisition-led growth strategy, Wipro Consumer Care continues to strengthen its position as a significant player in the global FMCG and personal care industry. Do you think strategic acquisitions are the fastest way for Indian consumer brands to build a strong global presence?
