Speaking about the performance and recent updates, Mr. Atul Garg, Managing Director, said: “FY25 has been a year of consolidation for GRM, as we intensified our focus on the domestic FMCG business. This strategic shift has been well supported by strong marketing initiatives, including the signing of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan as the brand ambassador. Consequently, the company’s overall performance has remained consistent with the previous year, while the India business has witnessed strong growth.
The revenue from India business more than doubled to Rs. 539 Crores during the year, driven by robust performance in product categories like Edible Oil, Atta, and Rice including 10X Zarda King. We foresee a significant improvement in the business going forward supported by consistent introduction of product ranges and penetration into newer Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets. This will be further bolstered by 10X Ventures, where we aim to invest Rs 200 crore in digital-first new-age D2C brands.
In the International business, we are actively eyeing to expand into new geographies through partnerships with major regional distributors and prominent modern-trade retailers. Currently, GRM is among the Top 5 exporters of Basmati Rice globally, with the International business contributing 59% to FY25 Revenue. The company has established a major presence in the MENA region, and a growing presence in USA and UK markets.
In conclusion, we are actively engaged in redefining our identity and transforming our business model. We have implemented a series of strategic initiatives to ensure that we are positioned correctly to emerge as a leading player in the Indian FMCG industry.”
