provide necessary focus, flexibility and speed to the business, the
FMCG Exports Business Division of the Company was transferred
to a wholly owned subsidiary, Unilever India Exports Limited
(‘UIEL’) consequent to a Scheme of Arrangement. The Exports

focused on driving cross border sourcing to Unilever companies
and the other leveraging the equity of locally developed brands
among the ethnic diaspora in international markets. The strategy
of a dedicated business unit driving distribution of locally
developed brands, such as Kissan, BRU, Brooke Bond, Lakmé,
Pears have yielded strong growth in these brands in its first year.
