Saugata Gupta, MD & CEO, Marico, says “we have lost market share in the bottom of the pyramid segment in value-added hair oils, where there has been significant competitive intensity. Otherwise, in most of the categories, we have gained market share. What is also heartening is that we have continued to grow in our core brands as well as food, Parachute and all and also the premium part of value-added hair oils.” The commentary around rural recovery is gaining ground. What has been your reading with respect to how things are on the ground right now, especially on the rural front? Saugata Gupta: Last year, it was a combination of two factors. Obviously, rural demand was stressed. The premium part of the portfolio continued to grow. Having said that, we also saw a little bit of moderation in urban growth towards the second half of the year. What we now see is a slight uptick in rural growth towards the end of the quarter. The second thing which also happened is, at least in our portfolio, there was a lot of deflation in pricing that happened, a combination of price drops we took on Parachute and Saffola, as well as significant shrinkflation that happened in the value-added hair oils portfolio.

Narendra Modi has become worried after learning that the Congress had been ahead in the first two phases of polls, AICC president Mallikarjuna Kharge said on Monday, while adding that the PM was attacking the Congress by referring to things the party never said in its manifesto. Neither the Indian Constitution nor the Congress election manifesto said all wealth would be distributed to Muslims, but Modi was saying so in sheer frustration after learning about the Congress party’s leads in the first two phases, the AICC president said, addressing rallies at Sedam, Gurmitkal and Kamalapur. The three assembly segments are part of Kalaburagi (Gulbarga) Lok Sabha seat his son-in-law Radhakrishna Doddamani was contesting from. Kalaburagi is one of the 14 constituencies in Karnataka that are going to polls on May 7. The Congress has only said the poor would get their due share and there was no mention of Hindus or Muslims in the manifesto. The Congress party, since the time of Indira Gandhi, had worked for the upliftment of poor people and battled poverty. Land reforms, bank nationalisation and programmes like NREGA, and Food Security Act were an outcome of the Congress initiatives, the 81-year old AICC leader said, wondering if Modi could claim credit for any such programme.
