"Against this backdrop, we remained focussed on driving volume growth and strengthening competitiveness for the business," he said.
While HUL chairman Nitin Paranjpe said the business witnessed a challenging operating environment with uneven weather patterns, volatile commodity prices and muted consumer demand.
He further said India is "well-poised to deliver strong and consistent growth with rising affluence, a burgeoning middle class, a vibrant young working population empowered by a strong public digital backbone and growth-oriented policies".
"Economic development, technological advancements and a better quality of life have fuelled the aspirations of our consumers. These new dynamics present a significant opportunity for the FMCG sector," he said.
The company is witnessing a rapid evolution of the Indian consumer with increased digital penetration and access to information.
"We are building a robust portfolio for future growth, by sharpening our 'where to play' choices. In line with this, we announced the acquisition of premium science-backed beauty brand, Minimalist. This acquisition is in line with our vision to become the beauty shapers of India," Paranjpe said.
In FY'25, HUL divested its water business, Pureit, and announced the decision to demerge its ice cream business, which consists of brands - Kwality Wall's, Cornetto and Magnum.
HUL, which owns popular brands such as Rin, Lux, Surf Excel, Pond's, Dove, Horlicks, Bru, Lipton, etc had a turnover of Rs 60,680 crore and its profit after tax was at Rs 10,644 crore.>
