    Colgate-Palmolive (India) Q3 brushes off rivals with Rs 1,452 crore sales

    MUMBAI: Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd has reported a steady yet somewhat subdued financial performance for the third quarter and nine months ending 31 December 2024. In a world where Pepsodent, Sensodyne, and a slew of herbal toothpaste brands are fighting tooth and nail (quite literally) for consumer preference, Colgate remains the unshaken champion of oral care.

    While macroeconomic headwinds and intensifying competition have made the landscape tougher than biting into a frozen chocolate bar, the company has managed to keep its shine by leveraging premiumisation and technology-driven consumer engagement strategies.

    Can Colgate continue to outshine its rivals, or will Sensodyne’s sensitivity play and Pepsodent’s cavity-fighting pitch take a bite out of its market share? For now, Colgate is brushing aside the competition and keeping its growth streak minty fresh.

    Headline figures

    In Q3 FY25, net sales stood at Rs 1,45,221 lakh (Rs 1,452.21 crore), reflecting a 4.7 per cent year-on-year growth. Not the kind of jaw-dropping leap that makes investors do a double take, but hey, steady growth is better than a cavity-inducing decline! The domestic business, a key driver of performance, saw a 3.2 per cent growth in Q3 and an 8.8 per cent increase over the nine-month period—a testament to India’s undying love for minty-fresh breath and cavity-free smiles.

    For the nine-month period, net sales reached Rs 4,54,718 lakh (Rs 4,547.18 crore), an increase of 9.2 per cent compared to Rs 4,16,352 lakh (Rs 4,163.52 crore) during the same period last year. That’s a growth curve any dentist would approve of! It also suggests Colgate still holds its ground in an ever-growing battlefield of oral care brands trying to take a bite out of its market share.

    Gross margin and EBITDA margin improved sequentially compared to the last quarter, though they remain under pressure when measured against last year’s higher base. Net profit after tax (PAT) for Q3 FY25 stood at Rs 32,278 lakh (Rs 322.78 crore), a slight decline from Rs 33,011 lakh (Rs 330.11 crore) reported in Q3 FY24. Perhaps inflation took a bite out of those numbers?

    However, the nine-month period gave Colgate something to grin about, with PAT increasing 14.6 per cent YoY to Rs 1,08,181 lakh (Rs 1,081.81 crore), up from Rs 94,384 lakh (Rs 943.84 crore) in the previous fiscal period. Looks like strategic premiumisation and efficiency initiatives are keeping things sparkling.

    Profit before tax (PBT) for Q3 stood at Rs 39,505 lakh (Rs 395.05 crore), showing that operational efficiencies are still paying off. Meanwhile, basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) stood at Rs 11.87 for Q3 and Rs 39.77 for the nine-month period—numbers solid enough to keep shareholders smiling all the way to the bank!

    Colgate-Palmolive’s MD & CEO Prabha Narasimhan acknowledged that the quarter was marked by soft urban demand and heightened competition. Despite these challenges, the company exhibited resilience, with mid-single-digit volume growth in its core toothpaste category and competitive gains in the toothbrush segment.

    “While the near-term macro environment remains challenging, we are committed to driving growth through a strategy that works,” remarked Narasimhan, reiterating Colgate’s focus on premiumisation, digital engagement, and category expansion.

    A highlight of the quarter was the launch of India’s largest oral health movement, a digital-first, AI-driven initiative that offers personalised AI-generated dental screening reports and free dental check-ups in partnership with the Indian Dental Association (IDA). Available in nine regional languages, this initiative aims to enhance oral health awareness at scale.

    Furthermore, Colgate expanded its product portfolio with the “MaxFresh Sensorial” range, building on the success of the “Visible White Purple” series.

    But let’s be honest—can even the best toothpaste keep everyone grinning when inflation is chomping away at disposable incomes? While the recent numbers show resilience, the question remains: can Colgate continue to take a big bite out of market share, or will rival brands leave it with a mere nibble?

    For now, Colgate is holding its ground, refusing to be rinsed away by competition. With strong brand equity, a tech-savvy approach, and a strategy sharper than the bristles on a new toothbrush, Colgate is setting itself up to flash an even brighter smile in the quarters to come. Stick around—the next quarter’s numbers will tell the real story!

     

  • Colgate launches ‘Oral Health Movement’

    Colgate launches ‘Oral Health Movement’

    Mumbai: As part of its mission to champion India’s oral health journey, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd, has announced the launch of its transformative “Oral Health Movement”. This unique AI-enabled initiative aims to encourage Indians to prioritize their oral health, while leveraging technology to bridge the gap between the awareness and accessibility of Oral Healthcare in India.

    Today, 90 per cent of Indians suffer from oral health issues and yet, 80 per cent of urban Indians don’t brush twice daily and a mere nine per cent visit a dentist in a year. A comprehensive pan-India study conducted by Colgate and Kantar in 2023 underscores why prioritizing Oral Health is the need of the hour.

    This nationwide and multi-touchpoint campaign is centered around an AI enabled Dental Screening tool, which has been developed in partnership with Logy.AI, will encourage people to take charge of their oral health. With Just a few questions and three pictures of their mouth, users can get a free dental screening report instantly. Post this, users will get an option to schedule a free dentist consultation in their preferred location. To support this, Colgate has tied up with the Indian Dental Association (IDA) to leverage their 50,000 strong pan India dentist network.

    The campaign showcases everyday Indians engaging in sophisticated conversation about dental health, demonstrating how Colgate’s “Oral Health Movement” and its instant AI-generated dental screening reports have empowered them with more knowledge about their own oral health. This approach highlights the accessibility and effectiveness of the initiative in making oral health information available to everyone.

    Speaking on the Movement, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd executive vice president, marketing Gunjit Jain said “While 90 per cent of Indians have an oral health issue, only nine per cent visit a dentist. Most people are not aware of the issue and realize it only when it deteriorates into a painful problem. At Colgate, we believe that it’s our responsibility to help elevate India’s oral health awareness and access. With the Oral Health Movement, we’re unlocking this by placing a free, whatsapp-based, AI-enabled, dental screening tool in the hands of millions of Indians. People can now take charge of their oral health by getting more knowledgeable and proactive. Our new campaign uses engaging content across an omni-channel and performance-driven media stack to encourage people to adopt this tool.”

    The campaign goes live across television and digital platforms like Google, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube starting 15 Nov. In addition to the awareness leg, this campaign will also have a large-scale performance marketing mix leveraging tools like Google Performance Max, META CAPI, etc. along with partner tie-ups. There will also be on-ground activations in retail stores, housing societies, bus stations, corporate offices among other touchpoints nationwide along with influencer partnerships to maximize screenings. Through the Oral Health Movement, Colgate aims to reach over three million Indians, contributing to its mission of improving Oral Health awareness and practices across the country.

    Speaking on the campaign, Ogilvy executive creative director Juneston Mathana said, “One truly becomes an expert at something when one has expert knowledge of it. Colgate’s free AI-enabled dental screening aims to democratize expert dental knowledge. Rightfully so, our films feature people flaunting that expertise while ironically failing to perform simple day-to-day tasks. The contrast in their vocabulary is something Hemant Bhandari, our director, has captured in the most engaging way.”

    The first campaign film depicts a family scene where a father and his daughter casually discuss complex dental terms, showcasing their newfound expertise. The second film is set in an office, where two colleagues compliment each other’s dental features using expert terminology. Both scenarios aptly contrast the characters’ dental knowledge with their everyday struggles like hair-braiding and rangoli-making.

    Both films conclude with Colgate encouraging viewers to participate in the movement. It prompts the audiences to scan the QR code across , upload images of their mouth and get a quick AI-enabled dental screening report on whatsapp.

  • Colgate Total unveils its new campaign ‘Har Bite Ho Right’

    Colgate Total unveils its new campaign ‘Har Bite Ho Right’

    Mumbai: Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd has launched a campaign for Colgate Total that encourages consumers to focus on proactive oral care. A recent Colgate study found that nearly half of Indians report dental problems, leading them to change their eating habits unconsciously. The new TVC for Colgate Total toothpaste highlights the product’s advanced science, which offers protection against issues like bad breath, yellowing teeth, and cavities, helping consumers maintain their eating habits without compromise.

    Conceptualised by team WPP@CP,  the campaign showcases Colgate Total’s patented DZA (Dual Zinc + Arginine) technology that addresses the root causes of dental problems. The TVC features a protagonist demonstrating various situations in a café where people alter their eating habits to avoid dental pain. The protagonist then explains how Colgate Total’s DZA technology provides complete protection from these oral health issues.

    Speaking about this newest campaign, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd executive vice president, marketing Gunjit Jain said, “Many of us do not feel that our oral health is at risk because we seldom see people like us having dental problems. But millions of Indians around us are unconsciously demonstrating visual signs of dental problems. Some have started eating from a preferred side of the mouth, some would rather cut an apple into slices than bite into one that’s full, some wait for their hot chai to cool a bit before they sip and so on. This has happened to members in our family, our friends or our colleagues. We can prevent this from happening to us simply by switching to Colgate Total, our advanced toothpaste that provides total protection. This is what our new campaign is all about – before dental problems change the way you eat, change to Colgate Total.”  

    WPP@CP executive creative director Juneston Mathana, while speaking about the campaign quoted, “The thing about ‘relatable behaviour’ is that you have to show it in the most relatable way. But just that could also get boring. So we introduced a little rhythm & rhyme with our partner-in-crime – Vishwesh Krishnamoorthy from Corcoise Films to make people aware of the subconscious compromises others are making out there. The result left people with something to chew on.”

    Disclaimer at the end of the note: Total protection refers to common oral cosmetic problems like bad odor, yellowness of teeth, cavities, etc.

  • BhoomiSeva partners with AIOCD Pharma Ltd

    BhoomiSeva partners with AIOCD Pharma Ltd

    Mumbai: BhoomiSeva (www.bhoomiseva.com), a leading organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable agricultural practices and improving soil health for the benefit of farmers and consumers has proudly announced their official partnership with AIOCD Pharma Ltd. This tie-up will mark a significant step towards transforming India’s agricultural landscape.

    The partnership aims to leverage AIOCD’s extensive network across the nation to introduce BhoomiSeva Kendra (multi brand store) and Bhu-Vision Soil Testing Device by appointing 45 super stockists and 533 district Stockists in 15 states covering 94% of the country in phase I. Thus, propelling a comprehensive transformation of India’s agricultural practices. The program, rooted in Personal Social Responsibility (PSR), aims to promote soil tests and thereby improve soil and human health in the coming days.

    On this occasion, BhoomiSeva founder & CEO Melind Deshpande, HCF Tech Services Private Ltd and distributor for Bhu-Vision (Krishi-RASTAA) said, “We are truly honoured by the unanimous enthusiasm and commitment shown by AIOCD towards the “Healthy Soil, Healthy People” Movement initiated by BhoomiSeva in India. This collaboration will create a monumental shift in the way we address soil health and through it, human health. Since human health is closely interlinked to soil health, we believe this initiative will set the stage for a healthier and more sustainable future for our nation.”

    In words of AIOCD chairman Jagganath (Appa) Shinde, a visionary leader who has dedicated his life to the health care industry, “Healthier soil will surely improve human health and reduce spending on medicines and other health related expenses. We at AIOCD support the Healthy Soil Healthy People movement, inspite of knowing the fact, that in the long term our revenues will be impacted.” He also refers to an article “Soil regeneration a crucial way to mitigate climate change” Sadhguru at Express Adda. Sadhguru, in a conversation with Anant Goenka, Executive Director, the Indian Express Group says that 27,000 organism species in the soil are disappearing every year. In another 15-25 years we will be in a place where we can barely grow anything in the soil.  Shri Jagganath (Appa) Shinde further states that “because soil is the basis of our very existence, for sake of humanity we at AIOCD will help generate 12.50 lakh soil test per annum (one soil test once in a year by one chemist) to support the “Healthy Soil Healthy People” movement.”  This will make 1250 BhoomiSeva Kendra self-sustaining for one full year.

    Further AIOCD directo Vaijnath Jagusthe mentioned, “We will be enabling 12.50 lakh farmers to increase their crop yield by 20%-30%. This is the first small step taken by AIOCD towards nation building – an example of collective Personal Social Responsibility (PSR).”

    This initiative is set to leverage the extensive reach of the Indian healthcare ecosystem. By partnering with 12.50 Lakh (1.25 million) medical shops, the program intends to disseminate information and promote soil testing as an integral part of PSR. With an average client base of 500 individuals per medical shop, this initiative is poised to reach more than 50 crore (500 million) citizens across the nation.

    In rural areas, the program will facilitate the establishment of government-authorized soil testing centers within medical shops, adopting the ‘Shop in Shop’ multi-brand store model of BhoomiSeva. This strategic move is expected to involve 2,15,000 medical shops in rural India, thus ensuring widespread access to essential soil testing services.

    In urban areas, medical shops will play a crucial role in promoting soil testing among their clients and encouraging them to participate in the PSR program by sponsoring soil tests. This approach will not only improve soil health but also foster a citizen’s movement towards responsible and sustainable practices.

    The BhoomiSeva Kendra initiative is a pioneering concept that brings together the nation’s agricultural community under one umbrella. These multi-brand stores will serve as focal points for farmers, providing them with access to a wide range of agricultural inputs, expert guidance, and cutting-edge technologies. 

  • “The ASCI Academy is a timely response to the changing advertising landscape marked by shorter campaigns”: ASCI’s Manisha Kapoor

    “The ASCI Academy is a timely response to the changing advertising landscape marked by shorter campaigns”: ASCI’s Manisha Kapoor

    Mumbai: The Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI) has unveiled the ASCI Academy, a pioneering initiative poised to amplify the advertising industry’s capacity to create more responsible and progressive advertising campaigns. Building upon ASCI’s established corrective role which comes alive post ad publication, this  pioneering platform embeds self-regulation right at the point of the inception of  advertisements.

    In today’s digital landscape, characterised by brief campaign durations and a surge in number of advertisers, the ASCI Academy is positioned to empower current and future industry professionals including influencers and students with a foundational understanding of advertising regulations, ensuring ethical practices from the outset.

    The ASCI Academy’s core mission is to cultivate a cohort of advertising professionals dedicated to upholding responsibility in advertising, ultimately upholding consumer trust in brands.

    The Academy has over 50 founding partners and supporters including Cipla Health Ltd, Coca-Cola India Pvt Ltd, Colgate-Palmolive (India) Ltd, Diageo India, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, Mondelez India Foods Pvt Ltd, Nestlé India Ltd, PepsiCo India Holdings Pvt Ltd., Procter & Gamble Home Products Pvt Ltd, several leading universities and colleges, prominent Civil society organisations such as Mumbai Grahak Panchayat, Consumer Voice, CUTS, CMS and others, and, industry bodies  like the ISA, AAAI, IAA and ISWAI, as well as research insight organisations.

    Indiantelevision.com caught up with ASCI CEO & secretary general Manisha Kapoor, where she provides details on the reason for launching this academy, on ASCI guidelines, and more….

    Edited excerpts

    On the reason for forming  ASCI Academy

    The ASCI Academy is a timely response to the changing advertising landscape marked by shorter campaigns and a surge in advertisers. It aims to shift self-regulation from ad publication to creation, emphasizing ethical practices from the outset. By consolidating ASCI’s thought leadership and education programs, the Academy equips industry professionals, influencers, and students with a deep understanding of advertising regulations, promoting responsible advertising practices right from the start. It’s a pivotal move towards fostering ethical advertising practices in an evolving industry.

    On the aim behind ASCI altering its guidelines on health & finance influencers

    ASCI updated its guidelines for health and finance influencers to adapt to the changing digital landscape and combat potential issues related to misleading advertising in these sectors. The aim is to ensure greater transparency, accuracy, and responsibility in influencer marketing, especially in areas where misinformation can have serious consequences.

    For health influencers, the new guidelines require them to possess suitable qualifications in the health and nutrition field. This ensures that influencers have the necessary knowledge to provide accurate information about health-related products.

    For financial influencers, particularly in the BFSI sector, SEBI registration is now mandatory when offering investment advice. Qualifications are also required for other financial advice, enhancing the credibility and reliability of financial guidance provided by influencers.

    These changes align with the Department of Consumer Affairs’ and other government entities’ mandate, requires experts, celebrities, and influencers in health, fitness, and finance to disclose their qualifications when endorsing products or services. This step will help in ensuring consumers receive reliable information, especially in the era of widespread financial advice on social media.

    On  consumers relying on influencers despite of tons of misinformation available on the internet

    Despite the abundance of misinformation on the internet, consumers continue to rely on influencers for several compelling reasons, as revealed in ASCI’s Influencer Trust Report (Feb. 2023). The report, based on a survey of 820 individuals, found that 79 per cent of respondents trust influencers. This trust significantly impacts consumer behavior, with 90 per cent of respondents admitting to making at least one purchase influenced by an influencer’s recommendation. Consumers have a unique relationship with influencers, relying on them for advice and product suggestions. This trust in influencers has made influencer marketing a highly effective tool for brands.

    In essence, consumers’ trust in influencers persists because these digital personalities have successfully built credibility, authenticity, and relatability in the eyes of their followers. As a result, their recommendations carry significant weight and impact consumer behavior, contributing to the enduring popularity and effectiveness of influencer marketing in the digital age.

    On ASCI benefiting from the various tie-ups to educational institutes

    ASCI’s collaborations with educational institutions through the ASCI Academy strategically close the knowledge gap in academia. While schools excel in teaching marketing effectiveness, they often overlook regulatory and ethical aspects in communication—a critical omission given the impact on brand reputation and risk.

    These alliances empower ASCI to seamlessly integrate ethical and regulatory dimensions into academic curricula. Future marketing professionals not only grasp marketing effectiveness but also understand their ethical obligations in communication. This enriches ASCI’s programs, shaping students who appreciate that ethical advertising practices are vital not just for compliance but also for safeguarding brand reputation in our closely monitored digital age.

    Beyond education, these partnerships bring fresh perspectives, keep ASCI at the industry’s forefront, and nurture emerging talents. Our collaborations enhance ASCI’s thought leadership, bolstering its programs and promoting relevant research, cementing its status as a major influencer in advertising ethics and regulation.

    Our partnerships provide fresh perspectives, keeping ASCI up-to-date with industry trends and ethics. We spot and support emerging talent during their academic journey, ensuring a future workforce versed in responsible advertising. These collaborations also enhance ASCI’s thought leadership, strengthen educational programs, and promote industry-related research, solidifying ASCI as a pivotal influence in advertising ethics and regulation.

    On ASCI’s guidelines on generative AI in today’s advertising world

    In the world of contemporary advertising, Generative AI has emerged as a dominant force. It has transformed the landscape by allowing advertisers to automate the creation of diverse content, spanning from text and images to articles and marketing materials. While this technology presents incredible opportunities, it’s important to acknowledge the challenges and risks it brings. These challenges include potential copyright issues, the need to prevent the generation of unlawful content and concerns related to data privacy.

    At ASCI, we recognise the significance of Generative AI in Advertising, we have taken a proactive step by releasing a comprehensive whitepaper titled ‘Leveraging Generative AI: Opportunities, Risks, and Best Practices.’ This paper highlights the existing regulatory uncertainties and the complexities involved in employing AI in advertising.

    As the evolving landscape continues to present uncertainties, we acknowledge there are several ambiguities. Prior to the establishment of formalized guidelines, advertisers can refer to the principles outlined in our whitepaper. These principles can serve as a valuable framework for making decisions regarding accountability, operational transparency, and assessing the broader societal impact of AI in advertising.
