Marico has aimed to grow its food business at 20-25% CAGR and scale to 2x of its current scale in FY27.

According to the company's financials, the Premium Personal Care portfolio witnessed healthy momentum, led by the Digital-first portfolio reaching an exit ARR of Rs 450 crore in FY24.

"We will continue to aggressively diversify the portfolio through the scale-up of Foods and Premium Personal Care portfolios while improving profitability parameters in line with our medium-term strategic priorities. Consequently, we expect the domestic revenue share of the Foods and Premium Personal Care portfolios to expand from ~20% currently to 25% by FY27," CEO Gupta said during Marico's AGM.

On implementation of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) technology, Gupta said investment in new-age technologies has led to "cost optimization and greater agility in responding to market dynamics, improving consumer insight, efficient workflows, faster turnarounds, and greater employee engagement".

Gupta said that the e-commerce business contributed to 11-12% of Marico's domestic business, and exuded confidence that Marico will double its business over the next few years.
