- Saugata Gupta, MD & CEO, Marico Ltd
Marico MD & CEO Saugata Gupta stated that multiple growth vectors are firing across the core portfolio, premiumisation, diversification, and international operations. Deflation in copra, which forms nearly 50% of the consumption basket and is down 35% from last year's peaks, has largely neutralized crude-led input cost inflation. The company has factored in high crude prices in its outlook for the remainder of the year. Management remains watchful regarding crude inflation and deficient rainfall, but notes Indian consumers remain relatively insulated.
