Homegrown FMCG major Dabur India is actively seeking an acquisition in the direct-to-consumer (D2C) space, as disclosed by its Chief Executive Officer, Mohit Malhotra, on Thursday. The company’s keen interest lies particularly in the healthcare and personal care sectors, signaling its strategic move to expand its presence in these markets.

During the Investors’ Conference Call held after the results, Malhotra expressed that the acquisition would serve as a catalyst for Dabur India to enhance its presence in the rapidly growing premium segment. Additionally, it will play a pivotal role in fortifying the company’s position in urban markets, further reinforcing its foothold in the industry.

Furthermore, Dabur India, renowned for its iconic brands like Dabur Amla, Dabur Vatika, and the popular juice brand Real, is ramping up its investments in branding and promotional activities. This strategic move comes as the company experiences a consistent improvement in margins quarter on quarter, aided by the moderation of commodity prices.

When asked about any D2C acquisition, Malhotra replied, “We continue to scouting on targets in the D2C space also, particularly in healthcare and personal care… We are looking for a brand that will shore up margin and not be dilutive.”

“If we come across a company which is synergistic with the healthcare space and personal care space, skincare Ayurvedic play, we will evaluate them and its financially worthwhile, we will acquire the company,” he added.

Additionally, he mentioned that Dabur India has ample funds available in its balance sheet to pursue the acquisition of a direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand. Such an acquisition could potentially serve as a premium addition to Dabur’s urban business segment.

Earlier this year, Dabur India successfully concluded the acquisition of a 51 percent stake in Badshah Masala, a significant move that enabled the company’s entry into the branded spices and seasoning market.

Several FMCG companies such as HUL, Marico, ITC, and Tata Consumers Products Ltd etc are quite aggressive and had done several acquisitions in the D2C food space.

Over consumer sentiments, he said Dabur is witnessing a recovery in demand.

“During Q1, most commodities witnessed a moderation in inflation; in India, too inflation showed signs of easing, as witnessed in both CPI and WPI data. With this moderation in inflation there has been an uptick in volumes in both urban and rural markets, indicating promising signs of recovery in demand,” he said.

However, he added that the beverage portfolio of the company which includes juice brand Real got impacted by unseasonal rains in North and West India.

Its consolidated net profit increased 5 per cent to INR 464 crore in the June quarter on the back of robust sales.

The company had reported a net profit of INR 440 crore in the April-June period of the last fiscal.

The company’s revenue from operation during the June quarter rose 10.91 per cent to INR 3,130.47 crore as against INR 2,822.43 crore in the year-ago period, Dabur India said in a regulatory filing on Thursday.

“We remain committed to our strategy of superior go-to-market execution by enhancing our distribution footprint while focusing on driving growth for our power brands and building an agile organisation culture in our pursuit of sustainable, balanced growth and value creation,” Malhotra said.

The company has taken several measures to pursue greater efficiency and the gains were ploughed back in the form of higher investments to drive demand, he added.

“Our media spends grew 30 per cent in the consolidated business and 28 per cent in the India business,” Malhotra said.

He noted that with inflation softening, the company has seen its rural growth bounce back to high single digits after three quarters.

While rural growth continues to lag urban demand, the gap has reduced significantly, Malhotra said.

“We continue to strengthen our long-term competitiveness through investments in developing consumer-centric innovations and technology, as we deliver on our purpose of health and well-being for every household,” he added.

Shares of the company closed nearly 2 per cent lower at INR 554.70 apiece on the BSE.

Britannia Industries Limited, a leading FMCG company, stated in its annual report for 2022-23 that the food sector, in which it operates, has been substantially affected by soaring commodity prices and increasing interest rates. Moreover, the fallout of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has also contributed to these challenges. The company highlighted that the enduring repercussions of these factors continue to have a significant impact on the industry.

It said that although commodity prices were volatile and inflation was at unprecedented levels, the post-Covid normalisation of economic activities supported growth throughout 2022-23.

During the last fiscal, the major challenge confronting the food industry was managing inflation in the cost of key inputs like wheat, milk, sugar, palm oil and crude oil, the company annual report said.

The foods vertical of Britannia comprise segments like biscuits, cakes, rusks, bread and dairy.

On the outlook for the foods vertical, the company said that businesses in the country are still optimistic on demand conditions despite apprehensions about global recession.

The inflation trajectory during the coming year will depend on a host of domestic and global factors. The outlook for food prices and rural growth will depend significantly on the climate and adequacy of monsoon rain, it said.

Britannia said that the company’s international business weathered the difficult inflationary environment and expanded to new geographies during 2022-23.

The company’s strategy in its international business is to strengthen brand equity, offer new products, establish and grow local operations in fast emerging markets like contract manufacturing, acquisitions and joint ventures.

The international business of Britannia is primarily focussed in the countries of the Middle East, America, Africa, Asia Pacific and SAARC.

The Surprising Truth About Cheat Days: How They Can Help You Lose Weight!

In the quest for weight loss, many individuals adopt strict diets that often include eliminating indulgent treats entirely. However, an emerging trend in the fitness world challenges this approach – cheat days. Contrary to conventional wisdom, incorporating cheat days into your weight loss journey can have surprising benefits. This article explores the truth behind cheat days and how they can contribute to sustainable and successful weight loss.

The Concept of Cheat Days:

Cheat days refer to planned, periodic breaks from a structured diet where individuals allow themselves to indulge in their favorite high-calorie, typically unhealthy foods. These days are not about recklessly consuming anything and everything but rather, enjoying a well-deserved treat after maintaining discipline during the rest of the week.

The Psychological Aspect:

The mental impact of dieting should not be underestimated. Strict diets can lead to feelings of deprivation and may result in unhealthy relationships with food. Cheat days can alleviate this psychological stress by providing individuals with a mental break from the rigor of their diet, thus preventing feelings of resentment and binge-eating tendencies.

Boosting Metabolism:

Weight loss often leads to a decrease in metabolic rate as the body adapts to the reduced caloric intake. Cheat days can provide a temporary surge in calorie intake, thereby stimulating the metabolism. This increase in caloric intake confuses the body, preventing it from entering into a prolonged state of energy conservation and helping to keep the metabolism more active.

Leptin Regulation:

Leptin, often referred to as the satiety hormone, plays a crucial role in regulating appetite and metabolism. Prolonged dieting can lead to a decrease in leptin levels, making it harder to lose weight and maintain it. Incorporating cheat days helps reset leptin levels, signaling to the body that it is not in a state of starvation, thus promoting healthier and more sustainable weight loss.

Preventing Plateaus:

Weight loss plateaus are a common frustration in any dieting journey. After an extended period of calorie restriction, the body may adapt to the lower calorie intake, making further weight loss difficult. Cheat days can disrupt this adaptation by providing a temporary caloric surplus, jolting the body out of the plateau and reigniting the weight loss process.

Improved Diet Adherence:

The fear of never being able to indulge in favorite foods can lead to diet failure. Cheat days provide a structured way to enjoy these treats while still adhering to the overall diet plan. By incorporating cheat days, individuals are more likely to stay on track with their weight loss efforts, knowing they have a day to look forward to when they can enjoy their guilty pleasures guilt-free.

Balancing Hormones:

Hormones like cortisol, commonly known as the stress hormone, can have a significant impact on weight loss. Chronic dieting can elevate cortisol levels, leading to weight retention, particularly in the abdominal area. Cheat days can help reduce stress associated with dieting, lowering cortisol levels and promoting a healthier hormonal balance.

Psychological Renewal:

Cheat days also serve as a psychological reset, motivating individuals to continue their weight loss journey. Knowing that a day of indulgence is just around the corner can provide a sense of reward for their efforts, making it easier to maintain motivation and stay on track with their overall health goals.

Moderation is Key:

While cheat days offer numerous benefits, it is crucial to approach them with moderation and mindfulness. Overindulging on these days can negate the progress made during the week and lead to unhealthy eating patterns. Planning cheat days in advance and being mindful of portion sizes are essential to ensure that they contribute positively to the overall weight loss journey.

Final Thoughts:

The surprising truth about cheat days is that they can actually help you lose weight more effectively and sustainably. By providing psychological relief, boosting metabolism, regulating hormones, and preventing plateaus, cheat days offer numerous advantages that can support your weight loss efforts. Incorporating cheat days in a structured manner can help maintain a healthy relationship with food, enhance adherence to a diet plan, and keep motivation levels high. As with any dieting strategy, moderation and balance are key to reaping the full benefits of cheat days and achieving long-term weight loss success.

Fuel Your Workout: Protein Drinks or Protein Bars – What’s the Best Pick?

When it comes to maximizing the results of your workout, proper nutrition is essential. Protein, in particular, plays a crucial role in muscle repair and growth, making it a popular choice for fitness enthusiasts. Two convenient and popular options for incorporating protein into your post-workout routine are protein drinks and protein bars. Both offer a quick and portable way to replenish your body’s protein stores, but which one is the best pick? In this article, we will delve into the benefits and drawbacks of each to help you make an informed decision based on your individual needs and preferences.

Protein Drinks:

Protein drinks, also known as protein shakes or protein smoothies, are beverages that provide a concentrated dose of protein in liquid form. They are typically made by mixing protein powder with water, milk, or a milk alternative. Some may also contain additional ingredients like fruits, vegetables, or nut butters to enhance flavor and nutritional content. Here are the key points to consider:

Pros:

1. Fast Absorption: Liquid protein is quickly absorbed by the body, making it an ideal choice for immediate post-workout recovery. It helps repair damaged muscles and replenish glycogen stores.

2. Customizable: Protein drinks offer versatility in terms of flavor and nutritional content. You can tailor your shake to suit your taste preferences and dietary requirements.

3. Convenience: Preparing a protein shake is quick and easy, requiring minimal time and effort. They are also easily portable, making them an excellent option for on-the-go individuals.

Cons:

1. Artificial Ingredients: Some pre-made protein drinks may contain artificial flavors, sweeteners, and preservatives. It’s essential to read the ingredient list and opt for more natural alternatives when possible.

2. Digestive Sensitivity: Some individuals may experience digestive discomfort when consuming protein drinks due to lactose intolerance or sensitivity to certain protein sources.

3. Nutritional Balance: While protein drinks provide a concentrated source of protein, they might lack other essential nutrients found in whole foods.

Protein Bars:

Protein bars are portable, ready-to-eat snacks that offer a blend of protein, carbohydrates, and fats. They come in various flavors and formulations, including whey protein, plant-based protein, and nut-based options. Let’s examine the pros and cons of protein bars:

Pros:

1. Convenience: Protein bars are pre-packaged and require no preparation, making them a convenient option for busy individuals or when you’re on the move.

2. Nutritional Variety: Many protein bars contain a balanced blend of macronutrients, including protein, carbohydrates, and fats. This combination can provide sustained energy and help keep you feeling full.

3. Portion Control: Protein bars come in pre-portioned servings, making it easier to manage your caloric intake and avoid overeating.

Cons:

1. Added Sugar and Preservatives: Some protein bars can be high in added sugars and artificial preservatives, reducing their overall nutritional value. Reading the ingredient list is crucial to choosing a healthier option.

2. Digestive Issues: Like protein drinks, some people may experience digestive discomfort when consuming protein bars due to certain ingredients or food sensitivities.

3. Cost: Protein bars can be more expensive than other protein sources, such as protein powder or whole foods.

Which One Is the Best Pick?

The best pick between protein drinks and protein bars ultimately depends on your individual goals, preferences, and lifestyle. Here are some guidelines to help you decide:

1. Post-Workout Recovery: If your primary goal is to optimize post-workout recovery and muscle repair, protein drinks are an excellent choice due to their rapid absorption and quick delivery of amino acids to your muscles.

2. Convenience and Portability: For those constantly on the go or without easy access to kitchen facilities, protein bars may be more practical. They can be stashed in your bag for a quick and easy snack.

3. Nutritional Balance: If you prefer a more balanced nutritional profile with a mix of protein, carbs, and fats, protein bars might be a better fit. They can provide sustained energy and help prevent energy crashes.

4. Personal Preferences: Taste and texture play a significant role in dietary choices. Experiment with different protein drinks and bars to find the flavors and formulations that suit your palate best.

Combining Both for Maximum Benefit:

In some cases, the best approach might be to use both protein drinks and protein bars strategically. For example, consider having a protein drink immediately after your workout for fast absorption and muscle recovery. Then, if you anticipate a long gap before your next meal, having a protein bar on hand can help you maintain energy levels and prevent hunger.

Final Thoughts:

Both protein drinks and protein bars offer convenient ways to supplement your protein intake and support your fitness goals. Protein drinks are ideal for immediate post-workout recovery and customization, while protein bars provide a balanced nutritional profile and portability. Ultimately, the best pick depends on your unique needs and preferences. By incorporating these options wisely into your diet, you can fuel your workouts and enhance your overall fitness journey. Remember always to read the ingredient labels to choose healthier options and consult with a nutritionist or dietitian if you have specific dietary concerns or restrictions.

In this article, we will uncover some of Ranveer Singh’s diet tricks that have helped him achieve those enviable abs and how you can incorporate them into your own fitness journey.

Balanced Macronutrient Intake:

One of the key aspects of Ranveer Singh’s diet is a balanced macronutrient intake. He ensures that his meals include a proper proportion of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Proteins are crucial for muscle repair and growth, which is essential for developing those six-pack abs. Foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, dairy, and plant-based protein sources like tofu and legumes are staples in his diet.

Mindful Caloric Intake:

To maintain a lean physique, Ranveer follows a mindful approach to caloric intake. He avoids excessive consumption of calories and monitors portion sizes to stay in control of his body composition. This approach prevents unnecessary fat gain and allows the body to burn stored fat for energy, contributing to the visibility of his abs.

Regular Hydration:

Hydration is vital for overall health and is often overlooked in fitness routines. Ranveer Singh ensures he stays adequately hydrated throughout the day. Proper hydration supports digestion, boosts metabolism, and aids in muscle recovery after intense workouts, all of which are crucial for achieving six-pack abs.

Frequent Small Meals:

Rather than consuming three large meals, Ranveer opts for frequent small meals throughout the day. This strategy helps regulate blood sugar levels, keeps hunger at bay, and prevents overeating during main meals. Additionally, eating smaller meals more frequently helps maintain an active metabolism, aiding in fat loss.

Emphasis on Whole Foods:

Ranveer’s diet primarily consists of whole, nutrient-dense foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber. He avoids processed and sugary foods that can hinder progress toward achieving six-pack abs. Whole foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds form the foundation of his diet.

Smart Snacking:

When it comes to snacking, Ranveer makes smart choices. Instead of indulging in unhealthy snacks, he opts for nutrient-packed alternatives like Greek yogurt, mixed nuts, or a fruit smoothie. These snacks keep him satiated, provide sustained energy, and help in muscle recovery and growth.

Pre and Post-Workout Nutrition:

Proper nutrition before and after workouts is crucial for maximizing performance and promoting muscle recovery. Ranveer ensures he consumes a balanced meal or snack containing carbohydrates and protein before exercising to fuel his body adequately. After a workout, he focuses on consuming protein-rich foods to aid in muscle repair and growth.

Cheat Meals in Moderation:

Even while following a disciplined diet, Ranveer allows himself occasional cheat meals to indulge in his favorite treats. Cheat meals can help satisfy cravings and prevent feelings of deprivation, making it easier to stick to a long-term diet plan. However, he practices moderation to avoid derailing his overall progress.

Consistency and Discipline:

Ranveer Singh’s journey to achieving his six-pack abs wasn’t a one-time effort; it required consistent dedication and discipline. He emphasizes the importance of staying committed to both his diet and workout routine. Consistency is key in transforming the body and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Consulting with Experts:

Before embarking on any major diet or fitness plan, it is essential to consult with healthcare professionals or certified nutritionists. Ranveer sought guidance from experienced trainers and nutritionists to create a diet plan tailored to his specific needs and goals. It is vital to have personalized advice to ensure that the diet is safe and effective.

Final Thoughts:

Ranveer Singh’s six-pack abs are a result of hard work, dedication, and smart diet choices. By incorporating a balanced macronutrient intake, mindful caloric management, regular hydration, and emphasis on whole foods, you can make significant strides in achieving your fitness goals. Remember, consistency and discipline play a crucial role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and transforming your body. While it is essential to draw inspiration from fitness icons like Ranveer, it is equally crucial to understand that each individual’s body is different. Always consult with experts and personalize your diet and fitness plan for optimal results. With determination and perseverance, you too can work wonders and unveil your own set of six-pack abs.
