Godrej Consumer Products Ltd has introduced smaller-sized products of Godrej Expert hair colour, Goodknight incense sticks, and KS deodorants to widen their availability in the rural markets.
"We have also increased our rural workforce, enabling us to double our outlet and village coverage," said Krishna Khatwani, head of sales (India) at Godrej Consumer Products.
