“INDIAN CONSUMER”
• The Indian middle class is prospering with around 70 million households earning anywhere between Rs80,000 and Rs18 lakh per annum. These comprise 34 per cent of the slightly over 200 million middle class households.
• Indian Consumer is no longer Price Obsessed.• Indian consumer goods market is expected to reach
$400billion by 2010 • Higher disposable incomes, there is money left over for
daily products even after spending on durables
“FMCG Tricks”
• Main reasons for the revival in the FMCG space is that the wallet share of the consumer which was being diverted to aspirational products is now coming back to FMCG products.
• Indian consumer on spending spree. • There is a difference between FMCG and Consumer Durables.
• Provides Optimum balance between maintaining the heritage of the company and the future benefits with the corporate name of Unilever. (February 20, 2007).
• Will be source of considerable strength and synergies to harness Unilever’s global scale and size for the benefit of the Indian business both in domestic and export markets.
• It would also assist in attracting and retaining talent both locally and internationally
Why Name Change ?
“Edge Over Competitors”• Unilever, in its worldwide operations, strives to be a multilocal multinational. Working since 1912.•Reflected national priorities over the years and remained committed towards India.•Large market capitalization and Product Variety.•Good Company policies such as:-
Developing and using relevant technology
Generating productive employmentStimulating industrialization and dispersing its benefitsAdding value to agriculture
Sustaining export performance
• Experimenting and taking aggressive steps.
• Caught in scandal -- whether on excise duty disputes.
• Situation has changed, P/E ratio is greater than HUl.
• E-Choupal
• System driven and conservative manner.
• Closely linked to parent Unilever.
• Profits has decreased even when the market is growing above 10%.
• Project Shakti.
• To distribute their products in remote rural areas through its Project Shakti. (2000).
• Thirty per cent of FMCG business comes from villages with a population less than 2,000
• To reach areas of low access and low market potential. Currently covers all districts of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, reaching almost 5,000 villages through 800 self-help groups (SHGs).
• The Shakti model trains women from SHGs to distribute HLL products of daily consumption such as Detergents, Toilet soaps and Shampoos

Conclusion
With it’s long and luminous history HUL is India’s true pride. It is a company which the customers in rural as well as urban India relate to. This explains the deep penetration of HUL in Indian market.Past few years trends may be disturbing but there has been multi facets to the decrease in profits. It would be innocent thought to rule out a behemoth of the ranks of HUL.The future for HUL is demanding newer and high level innovations so as to cope up with increasing competition. However HUL is well equipped with all what is needed of this Indian Giant.
