In our over three decade-long journey, I believe it is our values that have served as the bedrock upon which Marico has been built. From the very beginning, our commitment to our values has been unwavering, guiding us through every triumph and challenge encountered along the way. Although, our values have continued to evolve in tune with changing times. As we accomplish new milestones in business in the domestic and overseas markets, we continue to expand our portfolio, while addressing the evolving needs and aspirations of our customers. As we embrace emerging technologies at every juncture, we have focused on growing sustainably, ensuring continued engagement with all our consumers, partners and other stakeholders.

It is deeply inspiring for all of us at Marico that we touch the lives of one out of every three Indians through our portfolio of brands, and reach out to millions of consumers through our international businesses as well. Catering to the aspirations of such a diverse cross-section of consumers, transcending geographic borders and cultural preferences, continues to be both an opportunity and a responsibility for your Company. Therefore, our overarching objective is to build and continually strengthen our portfolio by upholding consumer-centricity at the core and resonating with the evolving expectations of the vast demographic.
