With the latest launch of ‘Naturali'—a sector debutant brand in the personal care space RPSG FMCG has forayed into the ₹34,000 crore hair and skin category of the larger ₹70,000 crore organized personal care segment in India—which is currently growing at an annual rate of about 10%. The division in the past has also made entries into Traditional snacks (Evita) and Ayurveda (Dr. Vaidya's). The group is now in earnest to build the FMCG business in India through bold organic growth and acquisitions.
