AN ENTERPRISE EXISTS FOR STAKEHOLDERS NOT FOR TODAY, BUT FOR TOMORROW. IT MUST ADD VALUE FOR THEM ON A SUSTAINED BASIS

The overarching objective has always been to ensure sustained value creation for all stakeholders. The journey in the last three-four years has been about architecting the structural drivers for the next horizon of growth and value creation. The strategy reset that I have focused on is to ensure that the organisation remains contemporary, future-ready and one that is extremely consumer-centric and nimble. New vectors of growth have been established across segments and investments are being stepped up to structurally drive competitiveness. There has been a substantial scale-up of digital investments and enabling of agile and purposeful innovation. We have crafted a bold Sustainability 2.0 agenda to build-back better and address the challenges of climate change and the pandemic.
The last few years have seen increased focus on FMCG. what has been your vision for that business?
