Dabhir's plan to diversify and target digital-first brands
Dabhir aims to change its reputation as a boring company catering primarily to older generations by announcing a war chest of 7000 crore rupees to acquire new age startups and target digital-first brands. Faced with slower sales growth and a reliance on its rural segment, Dabhir plans to leverage its cash reserves to make acquisitions and tap into the loyal fan bases of smaller companies. Additionally, Dabhir is attempting to appeal to younger consumers through its e-commerce channel and new packaging design.
Challenges with pricing and the quest for premiumization
Despite facing challenges in raising prices due to its dependence on the rural segment and lower gross margins, Dabhir has maintained robust EBITDA margins by aggressively cutting costs, particularly in advertising. To address this, Dabhir aims to focus on premiumization, offering higher-priced products to improve profitability. By expanding its portfolio of premium offerings, such as the Odermos mosquito repellent range, Dabhir hopes to achieve ambitious growth targets and reshape its image as an FMCG company.
