We recently met Colgate's (CLGT) management to understand its strategy to drive growth amidst changing market dynamics. Key highlights:
** CLGT's market share has been stable over the past few quarters.
** Volume growth and market share expansion have taken precedence as part of its new strategy, even if it is at the cost of near-term profitability.
** Direct reach has increased by 30% over the past year.
** Good Rabi crop may not necessarily translate into a significant boost for FMCG sector volumes. It may take rural growth at par with urban growth. Anything additional will be a bonus.
