What happened

Marico enters India's Rs 10,000 crore shampoo category with Parachute Advansed Protein Shampoo, targeting 80-90 crore mass consumers via coconut-led beauty

Key facts

  • Rs 10,000 crore shampoo category
  • 9-10% annual growth
  • 80-90 crore consumers
  • 50% hair oils contribution
  • Re 1 sachet
  • 1.2-litre packs
