Way Forward: Recommendations
• Given our portfolio, the products which can counter the sales of Patanjali in personal care segment are:
Godrej No.1: The brand is present in the skin care space can we look at leveraging it further therefore?• Body lotion: As demand for body lotions are quite high during winter. It would be recommended
that Godrej introduces body lotion in different variants.• Face pack: Introducing face pack in different variants namely neem, rose and multani. As these
variants in Patanjali are selling in high numbers.
Nupur : Given its presence in the hair care space could we look at offerings akin / better than that of Patanjali? • Introduce new products in Godrej Nupur focusing mainly on the herbal category.
• Hair oil• Shampoo• Conditioner
