Comments: Godrej Consumer Products is a part of the venerable Godrej Group, which has been in operation for nearly 125 years selling home care, personal care and hair care products. The company said its 4Q FY 2021 consolidated sales grew by 27% year-on-year.
Going forward, Godrej says it will continue to focus efforts where the demand is—in household insecticides, hygiene, and products that it tracks under its “Value for Money” sector.
In May, Sudhir Sitapati was selected to serve as the new managing director and CEO of the company. He will serve for a period of five years effective Oct. 18, 2021. At that time, Nisaba Godrej, who is currently the chairperson and managing director, will become executive chairperson.
Sitapati has spent 22 years at Hindustan Unilever Limited (HUL), where he led teams across categories and functions in India, Europe, South East Asia and Africa to create significant value for the business. Hismost recent post at HUL was executive director—foods and refreshments. He was appointed to the HUL management committee as an executive director in 2016, making him one of its youngest ever members. A passionate marketer, he has worked closely on internationally acclaimed purpose-led marketing campaigns for some of HUL’s most iconic brands, including Surf Excel’s “Dirt is Good” and Lifebuoy’s “Have you washed your hands with Lifebuoy?”
As the second wave of COVID-19 hit India, Godrej said it implemented what it learned from the first wave and would be better prepared to navigate any supply chain disruptions.
In 2020, Godrej entered the home cleaning segment by launching Godrej ProClean surface cleaning and disinfecting solutions.
