Story Behind
The inception of Emami Group took place way back in mid-seventies, in West Bengal, when
two childhood friends, Mr. R.S. Agarwal and Mr. R.S. Goenka left their high profile jobs as
Chartered Accountants, with the Birla Group to set up Kemco Chemicals, an Ayurveda
medicine and cosmetic manufacturing unit in Kolkata, in 1974.
It was an extremely bold step in the early seventies when the Indian FMCG market was still
dominated by multinationals. Several such companies headquartered in Kolkata were
considering shifting out of West Bengal due to labor unrest and political problems.
A dream of reaching out to the Indian middle class; a target audience whom they thought will
have increasing potential for consumption, the company started manufacturing cosmetic
products as well as Ayurvedic medicines under the brand name of Emami from a small office
(still retained) in Kolkata’s business district of Bada Bazar. Their consumer insight is reflected
today in the mission statement of Emami Limited: "Making people healthy and beautiful
naturally".
Differentiate or die. Innovate or perish
This is what set the ball rolling when the partners launched Emami Talcum, Emami Vanishing
Cream and Emami Cold Cream and glycerine soap, which were great favourite brands with the
quality conscious consumers in the mid-seventies. The company soon became adept in selling
beautiful dreams to Indian women interested in finding their own identity. The signature tune
of Emami played over radio and TV became a household favourite.
In the early days the two friends used to go around places and sell their cosmetics from shop
to shop. They piled their goods on hand pulled rickshaws and went on distribution drives
making their brand extremely popular, available and acceptable among consumers.
3. 3 | P a g e
The first-rate quality of the products soon created a consumer pull and gradually some people
were hired to work for them. A chain of distributors was established and the sale of Emami
products spread from West Bengal to rest of Eastern India and gradually to other states.
Acquiring Himani Ltd
In 1978, Himani Ltd (incorporated as a Private Limited Company in 1949) had become sick
unit and was up for sale. Himani, almost a 100 year old company with good brand equity in
Eastern India and a well laid out factory in Kolkata, was producing a number of cosmetics. Mr.
Agarwal and Mr Goenka realized the opportunity and acquired Himani though for their young
organization it was a tough task to mobilize resources for buying a sick unit and even tougher
to turn it around to a profitable venture. The degree of financial risk involved was enormous
considering the small capital base of the company in those days. However they decided to go
ahead with the deal which later on proved to be the turning point for the organization.
Introducing power brands - Boroplus and Navratna
Production of various health care items and toiletries based on Ayurvedic preparation had
begun in the Himani factory. Ten years after commencement of the company, it launched their
first flagship brand Boroplus Antiseptic Cream under the Himani umbrella in 1984. Many
additional brands followed Boroplus including Boroplus Prickly Heat Powder which came as
a brand extension of the mother brand. Emami brands started selling in all states of North, East
and West India. Today Boroplus is not only the largest selling Antiseptic Cream in India but
also in Russia, Ukraine, and Nepal.
Nineties was very eventful for Emami. The next flagship brand of the company Navratna Cool
Oil came in the nineties under the Himani Umbrella and the second factory was opened at
Pondicherry to expand production. Navratna over the years has become market leader in the
cool oil category. The introduction of new brands continued and the distribution network of
the company was extended to South India with Navratna spear heading the process.
Public issue
In 1995, Kemco Chemicals, the partnership firm was converted into a Public Limited Company
under the name and style of Emami Ltd. In 1998, Emami Ltd was merged with Himani Ltd and
its name was changed to Emami Ltd as per fresh certificate of incorporation dated September1,
1998.
In 2000, with a view to concentrate on its core FMCG business, Emami's investment
undertaking was demerged and Pan Emami Cosme Ltd. issued its fully paid up shares to
4. 4 | P a g e
shareholders of Emami in the ratio of 1:1. In 2003 a new factory unit was set up at Amingaon,
Guwahati. A Public Issue of 50 lacs Equity Shares of Rs2/- each at a price of Rs. 70 followed
in 2005. The issue was oversubscribed within few seconds of its opening with an overall over
subscription of 36 times of the issue size. The share price sold at Rs. 70 today is quoted in the
stock market as over Rs.1250.considering all the aspects.
Global footprint
Taking one step at a time Emami went overseas and international business contributes around
12% of the total revenue, growing at a CAGR of 19% over last five years. Emami has five
international subsidiaries and its global reach extends to more than 63 countries including
India, SAARC, GCC, UK, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, African and the CIS countries.
Beauty secrets and amazing array of ambassadors
In 2002 Emami roped in film actor Madhuri Dixit as brand endorser of a full range of its
cosmetics including hair oil, sunscreen lotion, shampoo, fairness cream and talcum powder.
The products were formulated after intensive research and inputs from both Madhuri Dixit.
The actor had been collecting beauty secrets from across the globe, and the company decided
to brand the cosmetics the ‘Beauty secrets by Madhuri’ range. While it is yet another first in
Emami’s ‘first’ list it is also the first time in brand history that an endorser co-owns a brand.
Emami has successfully established its brands through strong celebrity endorsements. In a
market where competition is intensifying, product lifecycle is shrinking and strategic
management of a company is gaining pivotal position Emami’s inclusion of celebrities as brand
ambassadors established that it strictly relies on its own unique method of retailing.
It is the only brand in the country to have both Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan as
endorsers for the same brand, Navratna. The concept of brand endorsement by celebrities was
successfully experimented in case of most of the brand launches. To name a few celebrated
and acclaimed entertainment and sports personalities who have endorsed Emami products over
the years-
A pioneering story- launch of Fair and Handsome
In 2005 Emami created a marketing history in India by launching Fair and Handsome, the first
fairness cream for men. In a tropically harsh country like India, a fairness cream for men
represented an unexplored opportunity. Emami created a completely new market segment by
introducing India’s first fairness cream customised for men.
5. 5 | P a g e
Travelling the region and by interacting with a host of retailers and intermediaries Emami
discovered that 30 to 35 per cent of users of fairness creams are men, with a growing interest
in personal grooming. The sales of Fair and Handsome in its first year had touched around Rs
50 crore. Another feather on the cap was when Emami roped in Bollywood superstar Shah
Rukh Khan to endorse the brand, targeting the male fairness cream market in India which
immediately made the brand even more popular and trusted by the consumers.
Consumer healthcare division
In 2006 the company decided to introduce a Health Care Division and a number of new brands
of Ayurvedic OTC medicines. The company has taken up the challenge of growing this new
division with a dedicated and enthusiastic team working on this project.
Acquiring a heritage brand - Zandu
Emami Limited with an investment of Rs 730 crore acquired Zandu Pharmaceuticals Works
Ltd on the basis of huge business synergy between Zandu and Emami. Post the acquisition of
Zandu Pharmaceuticals, a century old household name in India, some of its prominent brands
like Zandu Balm, Zandu Chyawanprash, Zandu Kesri Jeevan, Zandu Pancharishta, Sudarshan
and Nityam Churna came under Emami’s basket of brands.
Sustainable growth and excellence
In 2006, J B Marketing & Finance Ltd., the erstwhile marketing company of the Emami Group
merged with Emami Ltd. and the total turnover of Emami including sales in domestic and
export market stood at Rs 518 crores at the end of the fiscal year 2006-07.
Within four decades, the company Emami Ltd has a turnover of Rs. 2217, the flagship company
of the Rs.10, 000 crore Emami Group.Recently Emami Ltd acquired the 'Kesh King' brand of
hair and scalp care products from SBS Biotech, one of the largest deals in the segment in recent
times. It will include the Kesh King portfolio of hair oil, shampoo and Ayurvedic capsules.
They employ 2600 people, reach out to 34 lakh retails outlets through a network of 2800
distributors and have invested in seven plants, four regional offices, 1 overseas unit, nine
overseas subsidiaries and 32 distribution centers across India.
Today, Emami Limited is led by Mr. R S Agarwal and Mr. R S Goenka with the help of the
second generation Promoter Directors from the two families.

Opportunity Scan
The dark clouds of sales growth of the last few years appear to be clearing. We expect a steady
recovery over the next few years. While we don’t expect growth rates to touch the levels we
saw in 2010, we do expect the numbers to improve. The primary factors expected to drive a
spurt in sales are a stronger GDP and rise in employment. An increase in the rate of availability
through distribution expansion is also expected to support sales growth.
WHAT THIS MEANS
While marketers may not have direct control on macro-economic factors, they do have control
on the other marketing variables which have emerged as key drivers of sales, giving them
enough latitude to fuel brand and their company growth.
7. 7 | P a g e
DISTRIBUTION REMAINS A PRIORITY:
Distribution expansion emerging on the top of the pile is perhaps intuitive, but we now know
just how important it is. Given that an overwhelming majority of sales still move through
traditional trade, availability of products in stores will continue to drive sales to a large extent.
While distribution expansion should remain a priority, equally important, if not more, is
reaching the right stores. A blanket approach to store expansion might not help; going to stores
which matter more for the respective category and brand, will make all the difference in
maximising returns and growth. It is well-known that a small proportion of stores account for
a large proportion of sales; hence going to these stores and ensuring presence and avoiding
churn will play a pivotal role.
INNOVATIONS THROUGH SACHETS AND THE RIGHT ASSORTMENT:
Sachets come with a low outlay, and as we have seen from the drivers of sales, they are integral
in driving trial, penetration and sales. Sachets also help in recruiting new stores as a part of
distribution expansion. This, when combined with the established importance of consumer
driven innovations, can lead to a potentially promising idea. Marketers now need to boldly
innovate and come out with appealing packs which are affordable and can get consumers into
the fold. Given the economic environment, affordable low volume packs will play an important
role in driving consumer adoption and sales.
This also points to a larger theme of assortment. Based on our experience with FMCG and with
sales drivers, we have seen assortment playing a critical role. Sachets/ low volume packs are a
part of this theme and stand out as a key driver given the nature of the Indian market and
purchase dynamics. Therefore, marketers will be better served by focusing on the broader
agenda of getting the right assortment as well. Going one step further, getting the right
assortment of SKUs in the right stores will make an even bigger impact.

Product Life Cycle: Emami Limited
When companies think of product life-cycle management (PLCM), they always think of a
product’s introduction stage, its growth stage, its market saturation (peak) stage and its decline
stage. During each of these stages, a company typically follows a set path in terms of its pricing
strategies. That is of course, unless you’re Emami Company. What did Emami do with its
Navartna products, Navartna Oil has reached the maturity stage and most profit is earned by
the market as a whole. At this stage Research and Development is likely to be restricted to only
product modification or product improvement. This also improves production efficiency and
quality of the product itself.
Companies are in business to make a profit. Lowering price now, and then increasing pricing
later to make up for any previous losses, is not a strategy you should adhere to. In essence,
they’ve treated their customer as a mechanism to sell more lucrative products. They then
controlled that profit by controlling content from feedback of customer.
Most product introductions and life-cycles follow the four aforementioned steps of
1) An introduction stage,
2) A growth stage,
3) A peak stage and
4) A decline stage.
In some cases, there's a fifth stage where a product experiences a rebirth of sorts. In the case of
Emami, they slow down their introduction stage and they introduce new product in order to
secure a large portion of the health care and beauty industry.

Hierarchy of customer value:
12. 12 | P a g e
1) Core benefit
it is service or benefit the consumer is buying. In our product i.e. Fevicol the customer is
buying the adhesive quality of Fevicol. Usage of Fevicol will keep the object intact and safe
for use (furniture, stationary and other household usages).
2) Basic Product
it includes offering to a customer. It includes mandatory requirements in a product. Fevicol
provides adhesive strength by its usage and is easy to use. Which is actually basic
requirement in the case of an adhesive which is replacing Animal fat (saresh) as an adhesive.
3) Expected product
it comprises of attributes and conditions that customers expect when they purchase a product.
So when a person is using product like Fevicol a brand synonym to adhesive, consumer will
expect it to safe for usage as it is used by people of all age groups. It should be very effective
as mostly once applied it's very expensive to use it again.
4) Augmented product
it is added benefits and services that satisfy the customer beyond their expectations. To
delight customers by exceeding their expectations. The availability of the Fevicol in various
packaging and ease of availability through 6000 retailers across India make it good choice for
customer.
5) Potential product
At fifth level stands the potential product the marketer need to search for the future
operation in this case too Fevicol scores because they are already working on various
products like Fevicol Marine, which can be used underwater and Fevicol Speedx, which
binds things very quickly have been welcomed by the respective customers.

Marketing Mix / Promotional Strategies
adopted by Emami Ltd (over the time)
Positioning is used as a communication tool to reach target customers in a crowded market
place. They claimed that the easiest way to occupy a consumers mind is to be the first and much
more difficult to remember who is second
Emami, once small-time manufacturer of ayurvedic medicines and cosmetics, is doing just the
same. it is making a habit out of entering small, niche segments, developing them into lucrative
business propositions and subsequently, spending big on advertising and marketing to retain a
substantial share of the market in the face of growing competition
Let’s talk about some emami brands that created niche categories which turned out to be:
The Zandu effect
In 2007-08, Agarwal's father aggressively pursued the Zandu acquisition despite some
misgivings within the Emami family on whether he was spending too much to buy the
Ayurveda Company. In the end, he spent Rs. 732 crore to buy Zandu, and Agarwal says it has
been the perfect fit. "Our products are based out of Ayurvedic/natural formulations and Zandu
is a strong Ayurveda/natural herbal brand," says Agarwal.
"Zandu is a popular brand that we have taken a decision to bring all our healthcare, herbal and
natural products under and a foreign consultant is helping us do that," he points out. Emami
has products like Sona Chandi Chyawanprash and Himani Fast Relief, which would once
compete with Zandu Balm, the undisputed leader in the category.
15. 15 | P a g e
Like all the other Emami power brands including Boroplus, Navratna and Fair and Handsome,
Zandu too will see an aggressive adspend. "We want to promote and consolidate the Zandu
umbrella and make it a national brand," says Agarwal.
Mohan Goenka, director and son of Co-chairman RS Goenka, points out that Zandu is the
single largest pain reliever brand in India despite the presence of products like Moov and Iodex.
"Zandu was losing focus before the takeover, but now it has been re-energized," he adds. From
sales of Rs 140 crore in 2007-08, it has nearly doubled to Rs 270 crore already by FY13.
The other brand which is growing aggressively is MenthoPlus, especially in the rural market,
says Goenka.
It is worth Rs 98 crore now, but it has a potential to grow as 90 percent of the sales come from
only three states-Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
Fairness cream gamble
In 2005, Emami entered another uncharted territory.
"In 2005, we launched a fairness cream for men because market studies showed that 30 percent
of males were covertly buying fairness creams for women. We launched in 2005 and the
competition in the form of Lever, Garnier and L'oreal joined the fray from 2006. The market
is growing faster than the female creams but that's perhaps because of the low base," says
Goenka
Fair and handsome is a Rs 200 crore brand now. Emami has 60 percent market share followed
by Lever (30 percent) and Garnier (20 percent), according to market estimates. The category
got a huge boost when celebrities were roped in to showcase the product, from SRK for Emami,
John Abraham for Garnier and Arjun Rampal for Nivea.
There's a lot of potential for growth because recent data shows that 22 percent males still use
female fairness creams, says Goenka.
16. 16 | P a g e
The brand touched Rs 100 crore in the first 3-4 years. "The entire male grooming sector has
opened up and the celebrity endorsements have a lot to do it. We have spent Rs. 45 crore on
Fair and Handsome last fiscal for ads and celebrity appearances. It's a new category, so
investments are required to build the brand," adds Goenka. The brand created a segment in Rs
1,400 crore fairness cream market. Fair and Handsome has become a Rs 100 crore-plus brand
with 84 per cent share in the Rs 137 crore domestic men’s fairness cream market, according to
Emami’s annual report.
Navratna Oil
It is Emami’s largest brand that is positioned as a ‘therapeutic cooling oil’, the company has
followed a similar paradigm of developing a niche segment . Launched in the early nineties,
the brand continues to enjoy around 48 per cent market share of the Rs 550 crore ‘cool oil’
category.
The Navratna Oil is a Rs 600 crore brand and in three years, Emami expects it to become a Rs.
1,000 crore one. In fact, the variant, Navratna Cool Talc that it launched five years ago, is
already a Rs 100 crore plus sub-brand, 'and extensions are one way of growing it,' says
Agarwal.
Navratna Cool Talc recorded an 80 percent growth in FY13. The brand expects to touch a
minimum of 25 percent year-on-year growth despite the talcum powder segment in India
having hit a near saturation point, he adds. Navratna Cool Talc has a market share of 18 percent
in the Rs 430 crore cool talc sub-segment of talcum powder.
"There is potential in launching variants but we won't launch too many because we don't want
to dilute the equity of the mother brands," he adds.
In FY13, flagship Emami Ltd's turnover was Rs 1,700 crore, and down the years the group,
with a combined turnover of Rs 6,000 crore, has grown primarily by being present in segments
which have little competition to begin with.
17. 17 | P a g e
Boroplus Antiseptic Cream: Flagship brand of Emami, Boroplus, now marketed as ‘India’s No.
1 antiseptic cream’, accounts for about 74 per cent of the Rs 269 crore boro creams segment in
the country
Conclusion:
Taken together, these three brands – Fair and Handsome, Navratna Oil and Boroplus Antiseptic
Cream – contribute about half of Emami’s total revenues
The strategy of creating a niche segment and being the first mover have really paid very well
for Emami because MNCs don’t to enter small or non-existing segments or until the segment
gains a certain size and seems profitable to enter.

Personal Care category of Emami is worth USD 369 Million.
Navratna oil contributes 21% to the overall revenue of the company.
Branded hair oil business - > 5500 crores
Cool hair oil – 10% of branded hair oil 7& growing at the rate of 15% annually.
Navratna, (Rs 300-cr brand) which is known nationally for its ‘Thanda-Thanda, Cool-Cool’
campaign, has 70% market share in the cool hair oil category, has had a free run so far. And it
has been doubling its sales for the last three years even though it is among the costliest hair oils
(Rs 25 for 50 ml and Rs 47 for 100 ml) in the therapeutic segment in India. (Emami – an Rs
700 crores company)
FMCG major Marico has a dominant 50 %-plus market share in the branded hair oil segment
with two best-sellers: Parachute and Nihar.
Emami’s Rs 300 crore brand may be facing tough competition soon with FMCG majors now
gearing up to try their luck once again in the category.
Marico, for example, is currently prototyping two differentiated cool oil variants – Nihar
Naturals Coconut Cooling Oil in Bihar and Parachute Advansed Coconut Cooling Oil in
Andhra Pradesh. The last one is significant as Emami will for the first time face tough

competition from a seasoned player in its stronghold – the southern markets where Navratna
enjoys a virtual monopoly with a market share of 98 %.
Dabur also joined the fray recently with its Super Thanda hair oil priced at Rs 47 for 100 ml,
in addition to Re 1 sachets. This again is significant as almost a third of Navratna’s sales come
from the semi-urban and rural markets through Re 1sachets.
Emami’s current strategy:
Emami, which launched the Navratna brand in the early 90s, will continue to cash in on its
first-mover advantage and is focusing on the health aspect – the oil has just graduated from just
a ‘Thanda-Thanda, Cool-Cool’ relief positioning to a stress buster that gives relief from
headaches, insomnia, tension and fatigue.
Emami is in fact looking at a 15-20 % growth this year. The company has gone in for brand
extensions as well. Apart from Navratna light oil and Navratna extra thanda oil which help
keep the buzz going, the company has also gone in for Navratna cool talcum powder and
deodorant talcum powder
There strategy is to create sub-brands and brand extensions building on ‘cooling’ as one of the
strategies to create a larger brand recall. So, in future too, they will try and introduce products
and build on this successful ‘thanda-thanda, cool-cool’ concept.
