Emami Targets International Expansion for Faster Growth.

Facing a volatile global landscape, consumer goods giant Emami Ltd is gearing up to accelerate the growth of its international business. The company announced its strategy on Friday, revealing plans to enter new markets while strengthening its foothold in existing ones.

The Kolkata-based personal care and healthcare maker is also actively pursuing strategic acquisitions, a move it says is well-supported by the successful performance of its previous takeovers. The company's leadership is optimistic about the future, citing several positive economic indicators.

Optimistic Outlook for Domestic Demand

Emami's Chairman, RS Goenka, addressed shareholders at the company's 42nd annual general meeting, expressing a positive outlook for the domestic market. "With inflation tapering, interest rates moderating, and rural sentiment on the mend, we believe the operating environment will become more conducive," Goenka stated. He also pointed to a strong monsoon forecast and recent income tax benefits for the middle class as factors that will likely fuel a revival in consumer demand over the coming quarters.
