Cavinkare Case study
CavinKare was founded in 1983 by CK Ranganathan with an initial investment of Rs. 15,000. It started by identifying consumer needs for affordable yet high-quality personal care products. CavinKare launched successful brands like Chik shampoo and Nyle herbal shampoo to meet these needs. The company gained insights into new consumer segments and launched products like Fairever fairness cream and Meera herbal hair oil. CavinKare pursued a low-cost business model through outsourcing, packaging innovations like sachets, and wide distribution reach. Going forward, the company aims to increase market share in current categories and expand into new businesses like foods, soaps, and retail
