WIPRO Consumer care. Tumkur
In this competitive economy FMCG (Fast moving consumer goods) market is having
significant demand in low to middle income consumers and above all highly price sensitive.
it consists of goods, which are directly consumable, packaged and branded. The FMCG
market in India has undergone extreme changes following Economic liberalization,
qualitative and quantitative restrictions under the new trade policy. India stands as the third
largest industry in FMCG industry after textile and petroleum. The profile of FMCG industry
food and processed foods, personal care products and dental products. Insecticides, liquor,
batteries are also included in this category.
Progressive reduction in excise duties on major FMCG product categories, rapid
extensions of media reach especially TV, considerable caring of licensing restrictions are
T-JOHN COLLEGE Page 7
WIPRO CONSUMER CARE LTD
some of major drives if the Indian FMCG market in the recent past. The industry contributes
to the exchequer by way of income tax and central excise to the extent of 95% and 16%
respectively of the total collection. It provides considerable employment both in terms of the
1994 data; it provided 6% of the total 9.1 million. The industry has a significant rural bias
and accounts for 56% of the total rural demand.
The fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) market in India has undergone radical
changes following economic liberalization, lifting of qualitative and quantitative restrictions
under the new trade policies and the country coming under the ambit of WTO. Some of the
major drivers of the Indian FMCG market in the recent past have been:
Progressive reduction in excise duties on major FMCG product categories
Considerable easing of licensing restrictions
Rapid extensions of media reach especially TV.
Almost double the rate of economic growth as compared to the past and this
growth spans all levels of society.
For the consumer, the change has been heralded by a cornucopia of foreign brands now
available legally on shop and helves, which were earlier produced only through the grey
market. For the industry, the change has manifested itself in the entry of host of
multinationals that has earlier kept away from the Indian market because of official
restrictions. For the media, particularly the fledging electronic channels, the changes have
come as an advertisement bonanza as the new players and the old slug it out in a promotional
blitz to capture customer attention and market share.
Some of the fast moving consumable goods are toilet soaps, baby care soaps, health
drinks; body talc’s are greatly available in different verities and having huge competition.
Brand loyalty plays very important role in these segments and the quality of the promotional
activities is another important factor which creates demand and which increases the sales of
the product. In these Sectors quality and durability of the product plays vital role in buying
decision among the consumers.

Hair Care
Wipro Shikakai
Wipro foresaw the need for a Shikakai soap way back in 1986 and Wipro Shikakai soap
was launched then in a record time of 4 weeks - from conception to the final product roll out.
Today Wipro Shikakai soap is the largest selling Shikakai soap in the country.
As per India Today’s survey “soaps” are the largest products used for cleaning of hair
with 40% households using soap on hair. Traditionally, naturally occurring Shikakai fruits
were used for cleansing hair and are known for their do good properties of promoting hair
growth and preventing dandruff. Wipro Shikakai soap combines the market need for a hair
soap enriched with the goodness of natural Shikakai.
Wipro Shikakai has the goodness of naturally occurring Shikakai in the form of a water
soluble extract making it easy to use and wash off. The soap therefore helped solve the
problems of using natural Shikakai which is water insoluble and has operational issues in
terms of collecting, drying and grinding the pods.
Siddha Shampoo
Siddha herbal shampoo drew its name from the Siddha form of medicine, which is an
alternate practice of medicine like Ayurveda and Unani. As in the case of Siddha form of
medicine, this shampoo has a holistic approach and provides all round care for hair.
Launched in 1988, this brand has helped enhance the pride of many women by
endowing them with long, lustrous and healthy hair.
Siddha herbal shampoo encapsulates the goodness of Amla, Tulsi, Neem and Henna,
which are well known for their beneficial effects on hair.

Wellness
Sanjeevani
An extension of Wipro Sanjeevani, Wipro Sanjeevani Honey was launched in 2005 in
Maharashtra and later extended to other states. Wipro Sanjeevani Honey brings the purest
honey from the best-known sources of the Himalayas and the Sunder bans. The honey is
processed and packaged to retain the goodness of all the natural ingredients present in honey.
In keeping with current consumption habits, Wipro Sanjeevani Honey was launched in two
additional flavors - lemon and ginger. Consuming honey with lemon or ginger is an age-old
practice in India as various health benefits are associated with these combinations. While the
former is known as a good remedy for weight loss when had in warm water, the latter is used
to cure colds and coughs, when taken in the correct proportions. Wipro Sanjeevani Lemon
Honey with its unique “Khatta-meetha” taste has found great favor with children as well.
Glucovita
Glucovita was acquired by Wipro from HLL in year 2003 as part of its strategy to
aggressively grow in “wellness” segment. Glucovita commands market leadership in large
swathes of southern Indian markets like Kerala, Tamil Nadu hinterland, coastal Andhra
Pradesh and in international markets like Nepal. Glucovita is a Calcium, Vitamin D and

energy. Calcium in Glucovita helps maintain strong healthy bones while Vitamin D helps in

WIPRO CONSUMER CARE LTD
Soap segment:
Roughly 50% of Wipro’s consumer care business comes from the toilet soap
category. Where it’s biggest brand till date Santoor, holds way. Wipro’s share in the national
toilet soap market is just 4.6% reflecting its skewed regional character in the FMCG sector.
For instance, Wipro through Santoor is the leading soap market in Andhrapradesh with 18%
of market share. Chandrika enjoys strong equity in South India. The market for Ayurvedhic
and Herbal products is growing and Chandrika though not as large a brand as the Medimix is
poised to take advantage of it. If the company wills it Chandrika, though not as well
distributed in up country markets, like Jeeva from Jyothi labs and Medimix has good brand
properties which Wipro can build. Wipro is extending milk and roses not only to sell in
Punjab, to other states in the north. Wipro babysoft soap, pitted against global Johnson and
Johnson accounts for 30% share at the segment in Andhra Pradesh.
This year we re-launched Santoor soap, with new packaging accompanied by a new
advertising campaign. The re-launch has been successful in enhancing imagery as well as
resulting in volume gains - unlike the current scenario where most other FMCG brand re-
launches have higher impact on imagery than on actual volume levels. Santoor’s success is
clearly reflected in its leadership status in AP and surging market shares across South and
West India.
The group is a second largest player in the baby care products area and is the only
company, which has all products for baby care, starting from nipples and bottles to diapers.
