Colgate-Palmolive India: Oral Care and Personal Care Pioneers
Under the two principal brands, Colgate and Palmolive, Colgate-Palmolive India has established a strong foothold in oral care and personal care segments.

The Dynamic Game Plan: More Than Just Palmolive
Despite Palmolive's promising growth, the company's strategy does not entail indiscriminate expansion of the Palmolive brand alone. Instead, it's about capitalizing on the global product portfolio to introduce novel brands and products that resonate with the Indian market. This forward-thinking approach is supported by a close relationship with the global parent company aimed at selecting optimal products for the Indian market.
Colgate-Palmolive India in the E-commerce Arena: Going Digital
Colgate-Palmolive India is making significant strides in the e-commerce sector by increasing its presence in fast-growing digital-first channels. This includes expanding their product offerings and aligning with their broader strategy of growth through digital avenues.
