Marico has been around for 25 years and is known for its popular brands like Parachute and Saffola. But the Indian market is changing rapidly, with new consumer trends emerging all the time. So how is Marico keeping up? On The Core Report: Weekend Edition, Govindraj Ethiraj is joined by Saugata Gupta, MD & CEO at Marico Limited. He discusses how the company strategically expanded into new categories (shampoos, baby care and even ethnic hair care in South Africa). How they took their popular brand ‘Saffola’ known for heart-healthy cooking oil and expanded it into a whole range of “better for you” products including oats snacks, and plant-based protein options. Twin-Engine Approach: The first engine is their traditional business focused on efficiency and mass marketing – think of it like a giant, reliable mothership. The second engine is all about rapid innovationAcquisition: They acquired ‘digital first’ brands, like Beardo for men's grooming and Just Herbs for Ayurvedic skincare, providing logistics and tech support to emerging companies. Marico is all about staying connected to consumer aspirations and its leaders scan market trends for the legacy brand to stay relevant.

In this weekend edition of The Core Report, prominent Indian businessman and Co-Chairperson of Forbes Marshall Naushad Forbes and Financial journalist Govindraj Ethiraj explore the reasons why Indian companies are lagging behind global firms in R&D spending. Forbes argues that India's investment in R&D is significantly lower than the world average, with Indian firms only investing 0.3% of their GDP in R&D compared to 1.5% globally. This low investment stems from a combination of factors, including a lack of awareness about the benefits of R&D, a perception that Indian firms are already investing enough, and an absence of a strong internal culture that prioritizes innovation.He emphasizes that while there is a readily available pool of R&D talent in India, it is often utilized by foreign companies, rather than Indian ones. Mr. Forbes also highlights that a lack of aggressive competition in the domestic market due to protective tariffs, coupled with a reluctance to engage with Asian markets, is hindering the growth of R&D in India. Forbes advocates for policies that promote competitiveness, such as a reduction in tariffs and participation in free trade agreements, to incentivize Indian firms to invest more in R&D.
