Serving India's Serving India’s Rural Supermarket RURAL MARKETS HAVE EMERGED AS AN IMPORTANT GROWTH ENGINE IN INDIA’S CONSUMPTION STORY. Housing some 70% of India’s 1.2 billion population, the hinterland can be best termed as a vast ‘supermarket’ that is ushering in a new impetus into India’s overall economic progress. Thrust on rural development and infrastructure; an increased rural investment scenario; farm-loan waivers and growing disposable income in the pockets of Rural Indians - are all key factors in stimulating overall rural consumption. As demand for everyday products gains momentum in the hinterland, rural consumers are climbing up the value chain, with the result that incremental consumption expenditure in rural India is signifi cantly ahead of urban India. In fact, with an increase in income and awareness levels, consumption in rural India is converging with the larger, more affl uent towns. MOREOVER, RURAL CONSUMERS ARE EXHIBITING AN INCREASED PROPENSITY TO SPEND ON HIGH- QUALITY BRANDED PRODUCTS THAT ARE BACKED BY STRONG VALUES, SIGNALING CONTINUED BUOYANCY IN INDIA’S CONSUMPTION STORY. As a leading FMCG player with a wide portfolio of brands, robust distribution network and deep-rooted understanding of consumer behavior, Dabur India is well-positioned to penetrate the immense rural supermarket. WE ARE TAKING A FRESH LOOK AT OUR RURAL MARKETING STRATEGIES; STRENGTHENING OUR DISTRIBUTION REACH; SHARPENING OUR MARKETING TOOLS; AND CHARTING OUT FRESH COMMUNICATION PLANS. We intend to take continuous proactive measures for optimising our portfolio, products and channels. We aim to synchronise this goal with our broader aim of connecting with the rural masses through affordable price points and relevant product offerings. By touching the lives of India’s 800+ million rural consumers, we are activating a powerful growth engine for our company and creating long-term sustainable value for our stakeholders. 01 CONTENTS CONTENTS Corporate Information 3 Performance Indicators 4 Our Master Brands 6 Sustainable Growth through Rural Activation 8 Chairman’s Message 10 Leadership Development@Dabur (LEAD) 12 Awards & Recognitions 13 Performance at a Glance 14 Strategic Business Units 16 10-Year Highlights 18 Management Discussion & Analysis 19 Report on Corporate Governance 40 Directors’ Report 61 Financial Statements 74 Consolidated Financial Statements 102 Business Responsibility Report 127 Notice 137 2 Dabur India Limited 02 CORPORATE INFORMATION 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 CORPORATE INFORMATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS SR.
