Mr. Aditya Desai
Hello, everyone. Good evening. Welcome to the Colgate-Palmolive Investor Day
2026. I, Aditya Desai along with the Colgate-Palmolive leadership team, would like
to extend a warm welcome to all of you, those who are present here and those
who have joined us virtually. Happy to meet you all again. The session today will
be approximately 90 minutes. We'll start with a presentation from Ms. Prabha, our
Managing Director & CEO, and Mr. Jacob, our Whole Time Director & CFO. And
after that we will have a 45 minute Q & A session. Those in the room can just
raise their hand, and those who have joined us virtually, there is a chat box
option, you can put your questions there and we will try to address most of them.
Please note that today's presentation may contain some forward looking
statements. These statements are made on the basis of the company's views
and assumptions as of this time, and are not guarantees of future performance. I
would now like to request Prabha to share her thoughts. Thank you.
Ms. Prabha Narasimhan
Thanks very much, Aditya. Good evening and thank you all to those who are in
the room for braving this absolutely wonderful weather and making it all the way
to Powai. We really appreciate it, and it's lovely to see all of you here in person. So
much nicer to present in person than virtually. To those of you who couldn't make
it and have joined us virtually, Welcome. I hope we'll be able to see and hear you
during the Q&A.
Jacob and I are excited to share an update about this organization. But before I
get into the update, this is really a milestone year for Colgate. Whether it is
Colgate globally or Colgate India. Colgate Global has been in existence and just
celebrated his 220th birthday. A shade older than everybody in the room and
Colgate in India has celebrated its 90th year. So, we're just actually as of
September, going to head into our 90th year celebration. So two fantastic
milestones. And I think what underpins such longevity is the strength of the
brand Colgate. And that's really what we're going to spend a lot of time talking
about.
Here is the agenda. We'll talk about our view of the oral care category. What's our
strategy and what's the action that we've taken against it. Jacob will then cover
the financial performance. We'll get into a very, very brief summary and then
hand it over to you for your questions.
Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited
August 17, 2026
So starting with the oral care category, we always like to start with why are we
here? And as a Company we're here and have been here for 90 years for this one
simple reason, which is to help people improve their oral health and beauty. And
sometimes these mission statements are just a statement in the case of this
organization, actually, it's deeply embedded in everything that we do. And as we
go through this, you will see how this mission comes to life every day. But the
context of India continues to be as far as oral health is concerned, a little bit
challenged. The blue boxes on the top are really the incidence of gum disease, of
cavities, and of people who are recommended to visit a dentist 55%, 80% and
100%. And the red numbers at the bottom are really the number of people who
actually do something about the problems that they have. And obviously the gap,
therefore, is the gap. And as you can see, relatively poor oral health habits in this
country means that there is quite a significant gap between the incidence and
the actual problem. And this is where squarely sits our job and our brand.
And so why is this important? Yes, of course, it's great to have a lovely smile like
Kriti Sanon does and we would all love it, but it's actually a little bit more
fundamental than that. There is now a significant link across numerous studies
between systemic health and your oral health. Oral health, you know, being the
gateway to your overall body, those who have diabetes. And we know that India,
unfortunately, has a large number of people who suffer from diabetes and are at
2.7 times greater risk of gum issues. And gum issues, in turn, lead to other
systemic issues. It's been linked to many other diseases. Tobacco, this is an
obvious one. If you smoke, then your teeth tend to get stained and obviously that
rate is very high. Snacking, we are a snacking country. Lots of amazing snacks and
we tend to eat. I think at last count, the average number of meals in urban India,
or the average number of times a person was eating in urban India was four and a
half times a day. So we are a snacking country, and snacking also increase gum
risk because after snacking you're not brushing your teeth and therefore it's
staying in your mouth, leading to some issues and sweets, obvious link again,
your mom would have told that when you eat sweets, you increase the risk of
cavities.
And the category today is at absolutely universal penetration. So every
household in this country has toothpaste and toothbrush. But the consumption
remains low. So if you index India's consumption to the Philippines consumption,
urban India is at 0.7X, rural India is even less at half X. And the middle box
actually is the numbers that matter to us. For those of you who have heard us
Colgate-Palmolive (India) Limited

before, when I first took over this job, we were talking about 80% of urban Indians
not brushing twice a day. I'm happy to say that 80% has become 76%. So there is
a movement there. But like we've discussed, consumption is not something that
moves overnight. You have to keep at it, and so there is progress, but obviously
there is a long way to go. And if you remember the number in rural India, that
number was 55% who don't brush daily. And that number has now become 45%.
A lot more macro tailwinds working in our favour in rural India. Firstly, the
availability of information. Secondly, the fact that younger consumers have been
exposed to the practices of better oral health and therefore brush every day.
Thirdly, the rising affluence of rural India, and fourthly, the increasing availability
of toothpaste and toothbrushes everywhere. So a combination of all of these has
meant that that 55 has become 45, which is actually great news, leading to the
per capita increases that you see in toothpaste consumption on the right.
When we look at toothbrushes, a similar story, India replaces their toothbrush on
an average once in nine months. This is once in six months in Philippines. And if
you talk to your dentist, they will tell you to try and replace it once in three
months. So both Philippines and us have a long way to go. Again, in urban India,
the replacem
