Wipro Consumer Care & Lighting (WCCL) has announced a 3.5% increase in revenue, reaching Rs 10,600 crore in the fiscal year 2024-25. The growth comes amidst challenges such as inflation and subdued consumer sentiment impacting demand. CEO Vineet Agrawal noted a slowdown in China, with India also showing muted growth due to factors like the demand environment and delayed government orders post-election. Despite this, the company's volume growth stood at 7.8% last year, the highest in the industry, with all quarters showing growth above 7%. Premium and economy products performed well in the market. WCCL's flagship brand, Santoor soap and body lotion, achieved sales of over Rs 2,750 crore during the same period, with a significant portion of revenue coming from international operations. Yardley India also displayed consistent growth, reaching Rs 300 crore. The acquisition of Unza in 2007 has proven to be successful, with the brand growing substantially over the years. Chandrika, another brand under WCCL, has seen growth both in the domestic and international markets. The company's performance reflects resilience and strategic market positioning despite challenges.
