Priya Nair: Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us on the call today. Welcome
to the first earnings call of full year '26-'27. Let me begin with an update on the
operating context, followed by key performance highlights. Subsequently,
Niranjan will take you through the results and conclude with the outlook.
The quarter was shaped by an increasingly uncertain global environment,
characterized by geopolitical tensions, volatile commodity markets and
currency fluctuations. Against this backdrop, India demonstrated notable
resilience. The country entered this period with solid macroeconomic
foundations, supported by the policy measures implemented through FY26.

During the quarter, coordinated fiscal and monetary policy actions helped to
manage energy security, inflation and currency volatility. These interventions
helped to cushion the impact on households and business, aiding
macroeconomic stability. The FMCG demand environment remained stable
during the quarter, reflecting the underlying strength of consumption.
In this context, we delivered another quarter of progressively improving
performance. Turnover for the quarter stood at INR17,184 crores, with an
Underlying Sales Growth of 10%, driven equally by volume and price. This
represents our highest growth in 13 quarters. It reflects the result of decisive
actions taken to transform our portfolio, sharpen execution and strengthen
market development.
What is particularly encouraging is the consistency of progress. Our growth
trajectory has strengthened from 3% in the first half of FY’26 to 10% in this quarter.
Equally important is that this growth is competitive as we continue to gain
turnover weighted market share. The combination of accelerating growth,
healthy volume contribution and strengthening competitiveness reinforces our
conviction that we are building a future-fit business for long-term growth.
We have delivered this strong performance in a volatile environment with
resilience and agility. This was enabled by the competitive moats we have built
over time. Let me touch on a few of them.
First, our supply chain resilience proved to be a critical advantage. By harnessing
the scale of our global procurement network, we ensured continuity of supplies
without any disruption. Complementing this, our digitally powered agile R&D and
flexible manufacturing capabilities helped us to maintain service levels
throughout the quarter.
Second, our portfolio strength was a key source of resilience. With 50 brands in
15 categories straddling across the price-benefit pyramid, we are uniquely
positioned to serve the diverse evolving needs of consumers. Given the strength
of our brands and portfolio, we have been able to implement calibrated pricing
while preserving our consumer franchise.

Third, despite the cost pressures, we continue to invest behind our brands to
support long-term growth. In June quarter, we stepped our A&P spends up
sequentially to INR1,657 crores, the highest in 11 quarters. Similarly, we continue to
strengthen our omni-channel execution. Quick commerce continued to grow
strong double digits, while in GT, we grew our distribution, led out of small towns
and rural. Further, we continue to expand off-line expansion of our digital-first
brands like Minimalist and Simple.
And finally, our financial agility enabled us to balance near-term pressure with
long-term value creation. Our rigorous savings program, coupled with
disciplined P&L management, helped us manage the cost inflation and generate
fuel for growth. Backed by a strong balance sheet and healthy cash generation,
we continue to invest behind our brands, innovation and market-making
capabilities.
As we step up our performance, we are equally focused on building capabilities
that will shape our next phase of growth. Our approach is to invest ahead of the
curve, on innovation, technology, manufacturing, and digital transformation to
ensure that we remain future-fit and create desire at scale.
A powerful example of this commitment is the launch of Unilever Fragrance
House in India. It is a part of a global program to advance fragrance creation
capabilities, both in-house and in partnership with key fragrance houses. It brings
together the best of science, consumer insight and artificial intelligence close to
one of the fastest-growing markets in the world.
Our Liquids Lab of the Future in Mumbai is another such example. It is built with
advanced AI and digitally enabled facilities to accelerate innovation in future-
facing high-growth formats. This lab can accelerate formulation development
timelines by up to 6 times to respond with speed to consumer needs.
In supply chain, we are continuing to raise the bar on manufacturing excellence.
In this quarter, the Haridwar and Sonepat factories were recognized by the World
Economic Forum’s Global Lighthouse Network in the Supply
